Breast Feeding a No No

I have.

And if you're going to put your boobs on the table, people will look. It's just the way it is and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Again, I have no problem with discrete public breastfeeding. Half the time you're not even aware it's going on unless you're staring (which is rude). It's the ones that whip out the boob and make a big production out of it, then get pissed when people object, that I take exception to.

I don't know if I can be anymore clear than that.

You didn't answer my question :tap:


People can object, but it is leagl to breastfeed wherever you want. You may have a preference as to technique, but a sloppy feeder is a sloppy feeder, just like someone that eats with their mouth open.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone that saw me feed my kids besides my husband. Except all the people in Disney World when the girl geeklet was 6 months old. There were very few nursing rooms, so I would cuddle her in a chair. For the record I was extremely modest, I was private about it for my comfort though, not yours :shrug:

But there are laws against "indecent exposure." Breastfeeding in public is fine. Accidently having your boob uncovered because your kid is wiggling like a worm; fine, crap happens. BUT, whipping out your boob for the whole world because modesty is too much of an inconvenience is NOT OK.

I'm not saying the chick in the article was or was not at least attempting to be discrete. Unlike Vrai, I don't have much faith in people and they'll complain about the dumbest things; so that means nothing. What I am saying is that if this woman attempted to keep herself covered, I hope her lawsuit teaches Floridians a lesson. If she didn't attempt that, well she's throwing her lawyer money down the drain and that's the way it should be.

Really? Have you ever breast fed? You have to unlatch your bra, position the baby, sometimes when they are little you have to position the nipple in their little mouth a couple of times before they settle in. When they are teething it can be a lot of off and on :shrug: Like I said, I was modest. Would you care to show me how to properly breastfeed a child?

I have never felt uncomfortable..... and although I never breastfed in public (I rarely went out right after I had the baby) I would be ultimately shocked if someone came up to me and said please refrain from breastfeeding. For those who have never breastfed, they can't even begin to feel empathetic. I personally have never seen anyone barebreasted in public trying to feed their baby. However I guess people don't have a problem seeing coochie and butts hang out of a teen girls skirt or shorts there huh?

Didn't I read somewhere that a couple here and there continued until their offspring were in school?

Can this be done discreetly too?

2 things:

1) For Christ's sake woman, it's NOT rocket science. You're the one that said it's a natural act, stop acting like you have to be a highly trained professional to do it. :duh:

2) Re-directing does nothing other than show you can't argue with my point.

1) I get you don't want to see boob

2) I am quite proud of my breastfeeding record. It was hard work.

Nothing wrong with seeing boob... so long as it doesn't have a brat attached to it.

Oh please. Women have been doing it since time immemorial without a problem. Freakin' cave women managed to breastfeed their children.

:rolleyes:

It wasn't tough for you? Maybe I have really sensitive skin, but teaching them to latch on hurt like a biatch.

I knew with my kids doing it discreetly would have been impossible, neither one latched on without a lot of fits and starts. For my own piece of mind I carried the little 6 oz prefilled bottles and a baggie of nipples and rings when out of the house. It was a lot faster than breatfeeding, the kids never seemed to mind, and I never had to nipple wrangle with a screeching baby in public. I quit when the first teeth started showing up at 6 months or so though. Those little piranahs were savage biters and pullers.

I can't believe anyone could breastfeed their kid up to 2 1/2! My sone is that old and he is a chatty little kid, can't imagine him on the boob still. Geeze... give him a salami sandwich and a coke....
