Breast Feeding in Public

CityGrl · Jan 30, 2007

Is it ever appropriate?

I had two experiences with this over the weekend. Once while I was at a basketball game (she put the baby under her shirt and covered her with a blanket) and one at church (!?!?!?!?!?!?!). The woman at church decided that God and the rest of the world would like to see it all, and I mean ALL while the baby was "feasting."

Under what circumstances do you consider breast feeding in public to be acceptable?

as long as you tried to be modest about it..I don't see any reason why it isn't appropriate.... the babies have got to eat you know???

As long as they cover themselves up with a blanket........I think anytime is fine.

I don't see why anybody would have a problem with breastfeeding. What's it to you, anyway? It's just some poor baby trying to have a meal without a bunch of judgemental people hovering about. :ohwell:

I'm totally fine with the whole breastfeeding thing. When I have kids, I plan to do it. BUT, I'm not fine with a naked booby hanging out there. Cover up or something.

yeah not a good idea to be eating chitlins at the gym...when you are trying to exercise I agree.

Simple solution: look away.

In most cases of public breastfeeding... you will see more breast hanging out of the shirts of the chicks that are walking the malls than you would should you see a woman breastfeeding. Go on with your bad modest selves... :coffee:

If it isn't one you want to see, look away. If it is one you want to see, why complain?

My SIL is nursing now. I feel like the perv if I get an accidental peek. She is doing nothing wrong, and people need to get over the whole "booobs are nasty" hangup. It's normal, natural, and healthy. If you don't like it, buy a Burka and move to Afghanistan.

When the baby is hungry. :howdy:

Seeing as God gave us women breasts, I doubt that he'd be offended.

I thought the idea that God would be offended by a woman feeding her child was a little weird also.

Must be one of those "My way or the highway to hell" christians :lol:
