Is it normal to breastfeed in public places like a park, mall, library, concert, theater, restaurant, taxi, bus, train, plane, automobile, boat, beach, restroom, or any where else besides your home?
These acts should be done in private. There are public restrooms everywhere in highly to moderately populated areas, while there are many private places one could go in less populated areas. They could serve as a venue if such feeding is absolutely necessary, which it rarely is.
Dont act like no one has ever seen a tit before. the majority of the population is used to seeing their mother naked as a child and shouldnt get arroused by seeing a mother take care of her child. I dont think its an apprpriate for restaurants or inside a school but come on- stop being so prude, america! Are we going to let the most natural thing on earth- the caring of an enfant be banned from public?
I think it's completely normal. Why should a mother have to stay home around the clock just to feed her baby. It's just a breast..All women have them and it's not like you haven't seen one before. Maybe some people should cover up a little bit but even if they don't...so what! The baby has to eat.
i agree prittybrown eyes so long as i can whip out my shlong and go to town on myself in public after all masturbation is naturaul right?
ok enough sarcasm no its not cool and the comment of ppl seeing their mom naked all the time hmm ive probably have a mem of like 1 time when my mom was nude and its far repressed. its what seperates us from animals. stop being naturists.
Ok then why should I have to stay around at home just to spank the monkey, I have needs too just like babies do and I make less noise about it. Next time I see a woman slap her tittie out for a baby I'm gunna stand right in front of her and jack it.
Eh, I wouldnt say its NOT normal. But it might make some people uncomfortable.
Babies need to eat too. A mother shoul be able to feed her chile when they r hungry. Don't listen to the prudes who think the babies should starve so they don't have to see somehing as natural as a breast.
just feed the damn kids
anyone who doesnt like seeing it imo is just jealous coz they havent got a tit to suck on
How would anyone deny a mother the right to feed their own child! Who cares about a saggy breast being flashed, I would be more upset to hear a child screaming with hunger because mommy is too embarassed about someone seeing her breasts!
it's normal... just a mom feeding the baby, we can barelly see one breasth...
If you should not breastfeed in public, you should eat in public either. Seeing food being stuffed into open mouths and people talking while they chew is pretty unpleasant to see. Breastfeeding is just a baby eating....and they tend to be pretty quiet about it :P
it is completely normal just throw a blanket or something over the top when a baby is hungry give them what they want.
>_< No no no no! There are others out there who are disgusted by breast feeding. If i were you I'd do it in private or when no one is there. (Dun like kids, Sorries!) It's easy to avoid other people eating in public, but breast feeding in public is kinda hard to avoid (makes me uncomfortable) Sorries but i think it should be private in my opinion, Freedom of speech ^_^
Why should a mother be told she can only breast feed her child at home? Today there are privacy shields designed specifically for mothers who need to feed their baby whilst out in a public place (arguably that's going too far but that's a another story!) so why shldn't a mother feed her baby wherever the need? We are not talking the ridiculous little britain scenario where a mother breast feeds her thirty something son and then proceeds to fill the restaurant milk jug with breast milk, we are talkin a normal feeding of a baby in public that is all!
As to the first argument posted on here - wanking is neither normal nor natural but in essence an act of homosexual sex as it does not require another person's involvement - that said it is up to you what you do in your home but don't use stupid arguments like that for a serious discussion!
As to the saggy boobs comments - if you don't want to see a woman's saggy boobs don't look at them! You shouldn't be staring at a woman breastfeeding in public anyway! Let us not get any more prudish than we are - already we think nakedness on a beach or whilst swimming is unnatural why take it any further?
um..unless u like people staring at ur boobs or watch u breathe feed i think the only place that would be not abnormal to show ur boobs is a strip club so try going there and the u wont have any stress lol
particulary i think its weird to do it in movement, at the car or taxi or train or bus, because it looks unsafe
no there is nothing wrong with, people that get all bent out of shape about what other people do are idiots
Yeah, I side with Cabinet on this one.
I know, it is not the end of the world if someone in public sees an infant suckin on the ol' tittie. But not everyone likes to be exposed to that and it should not be allowed. Only in private places like the home etc.
People say it is normal and natural but I dont agree with it. I think it is a private thing and should be done in private. Having a wank is normal and natural but Im not allowed to do that in public am I.
Personally, it makes me feel uncomfortable and I may make a startled reaction at first since I'm just not used to seeing women sticking thir boob out and sticking their nipple into a baby's mouth, I don't think that I'd be bothered enough to make a scene and say that she shouldn't do that. I am a girl, and have had friends who say that their boobs must be pumped regularly our else they'll get really sore and full but they've also said that it's nothing they couldn't wait to do in a restroom out some where less public.
I'm going to breastfeeding in public and if it makes anyone feel uncomfortable that I'm feeding my child, they know where to go. I have every right to feed my baby the way and when I want to. In a cafe,resturant, or store.Its not disgusting and its not sexual in anyway. My baby isn't going to go hungry just becomse society is sick.
IF YOU DONT CARE THEN DO IT BUT WHEN I TRIED TO DO IT IN FRONT OF PEPOLE I WAS NERVOUS AND I HAVE NEVER DONE IT SINCE.
if there was ever a referendum on this it could just as well double as a survey to see how many true perverts there are
You shouldn't do it in public around random strangers. They don't know you and they might feel uncomfortable. Also, public breast feeding just gives perverts incentive to stare at you
I don't think you should. It can make people uncomfortable if done around them, and it also gives incentive for perverts to stare at you.
Bottle feeding is ABNORMAL. WTF are tits for?? IDIOTS. Closeminded prudes. A boob is only a sex object because our societies made it that way. All 3 of our children were proudly breast fed, and there is no shame in that. This shouldn't have to be hidden, and if you see a mother breast feeding, and feel grossed out or embarrassed- then YOU are not normal. I have friends who are a little less discrete about whipping the boob out in public than my wife was, but after someones had 3 or 4 kids, it's just thought of as a bottle, and the sexual or shock factor doesn't exist. Babies need to be fed when hungry. Bottle fed babies are more distant and if fed formula, more susceptible to sickness and disease.
Why do women show their breasts in public????? OK, let the kids drink, but keep the boobs to yaself!
I, for one, think breastfeeding in public should only be allowed to be done in public my MILFs. Who else is with me?
No its not normal. Feed your crappy child before you leave home. And when he's hungry again and you're out, give him a milk bottle.
um i saw it in church. plus, one prof in my school does that.........not in class she's on maternity leave but she still hang's out at the daycare at school and she did it at lunch on the quad
GROSS
I know it's natural, but so is going #2. No one wants to be subjected to that. Just because people don't want to see you breastfeeding in public doesn't mean you have to stay home round the clock. You can pump your breast milk into a bottle, take the bottle with you and the kid, and when it's time to feed the kid, you can find a private place to whip your boobs out, or you can give the kid the bottle with the breastmilk or formula in it. It makes people uncomfortable, and drives patrons away from businesses, which is why most businesses require nursing mothers to use a mother's room (different than a restroom). It's not appetizing or classy to be sitting in a restaurant and see some woman sitting with her boob hanging out and her kid noisily slurping away. What's worse is when the kid is over 6 mo. old.
it is normal... but should be used as a last resort... i mean try to carry a bottle of pumped brest milk if u are planing to go out... if not then try to find a less crowded area and cover yourself well..
Oh - forgot... I don't think it's BAD to breastfeed, but I also don't think it's BAD to bottlefeed (breastmilk). I was bottlefed, not breastfed, and my mother and I have a very close relationship, we never had any "bonding issues". My brother was also bottlefed. Same story. My dad was adopted and had to be fed formula, he turned out normal, and has a good relationship with his mom. My mom's mom has implants (I know, grandma with fake boobs) and since they were done back in the day, it was impossible for her to breastfeed, so my mom had to have formula too. My mom and her mom are bestfriends. I don't think that the occasional bottle in public as opposed to 100%% breast is going to impede any sort of bonding between mother and child. Besides, what about dads? Can't dads feed the kids too? It seems more kids need more father-bonding.
It's just feeding people eat in public every day should we not feed our babies just because of a few seconds/mins of public embarrassment although doing it where there are are kids under the age of 10 is well... frowned on in my opinion
