Nursing Baby

[jo929]

i did not know where to put this but would like the opinion of both men and women, about nursing baby in publc with no covering of breasts

Ok i'm just going to comment here again. The woman i saw in teh restaurant popped out her breast, left it hanging out for at least a minute THEN put her child to her breast, then while burping her child, STILL had her entire breast exposed the entire burp time, then took out her other breast BEFORE putting the first one away, had her other breast out for at least a minute also, then put the baby on that breast, then again left her entire breast out for the duration of the burping(which was about 3 minutes i'd say) THAT to me is extremely offensive, especially since3 everytime I looked up from my meal to talk to my husband I saw this woman's breast right in my line of vision! and my son was sitting right next to me, he two and he kept asking me in a loud voice why that lady was showing her privie parts(his word for private parts at the time).

That to me is extremely offensive and completely inappropriate. Now if you can whip out your boob and then immediately cover it with the baby and not have anyone see anything, then go ahead, but otherwise, have some consideration for other people who are eating and don't expose your breasts for at least 5 minutes to me and my family!

And I am not some pervert who just stares at other woman's breasts. This woman was sitting at a center table in the middle of the restaurant, and she was directly in front of me, so every time i looked up, there she was. And for 45 minutes, almost every time I looked up, there was her boob right in front of me, not even 6 feet away.

Now I am FULLY in support of breastfeeding, I did it myself. But even though breastfeeding is a beautiful thing, and is necessary, i still don't find it excusable to just whip out your boobs for 5 minutes in full view of a room full of strangers, with children, and think that's just fine and dandy. Because it isn't, use a blanket!


I'll probably get yelled at for posting that, but come on! Those are your boobs, your private parts and they should NOT be exposed in public.

it's a shame there aren't many guys like you out there jim. i'm thankful i never had anyone stare pervertedly at me while i was breastfeeding...just ignorant people thinking i was gross and inappropriate.

please remember that not all men are like this..I hope you weren't by yourself in your car (besides the baby)...If it were me that stumbled across such a thing I'd clobber the guys
(assuming your boy friend/husband wasn't there) and then stand WITH MY BACK TO YOU and keep any eye out for these jerks.

What a shame you had to wind up in the restroom.

You are a perfect example of what I was trying to point out "they were trying to look at my breast!)...point made about the world we live in with perverts and breast feeding in public.  Judy

i breastfed my son for 2 years and honestly was too uncomfortable to ever breastfeed in public.  men are sooooooooooo (can i stress the 'o' enough?) perverted.  they were trying to look at my breasts!  
i remember attempting to breastfeed while in the car before we ever went into the mall and 3 men came and congregated near our car, one was security!  i was likely being watched on those surveillance cameras on the parking lot light poles.  there were other instances too before i gave up altogether including some creepy guy at church.  i wouldn't dream of giving them the sexual satisfaction so it was the restrooms for me or staying home nearly the whole 2 years

I have to agree that this world has turned corrupt when a breastfeeding mother that doesn't cover up is deemed gross or inappropriate. I see way too many women dressing in revealing tops or really short skirts that show more then these mothers would, since the areola is covered from the baby, and the rest that's being shown is just skin like the stuff on your arm. Every women who gets bugged for doing this in public from people who find it wrong deserves to yell their heart out at them. It's funny how people can make a big deal about this, but by law where I am women can walk around topless, but I bet nobody would think that's gross...
