I was at work on the first day of the sales (26th Dec)and there was this lady breast feeding her baby, i mean breast all hanging out and what not. I felt really uncomfortable and even other people were commenting on it. however i noticed that same men that were 'complaining' about it couldnt take their eyes off her cheast!!

I mean if u knew u had a il baby to look after wouldnt u pepare a bottle or two rather than to whip the breast out in public. i dunnoconfused3

But anywhayhs whats ur view of women breast feeinding in public??


If you want to be loved...be Loveable!!

As a muslim and as a person grown up with a thing called decency I think its wrong to be doing that in public...when I used to work in a department store and we got females there who wanted to breastfeed their child we would always offer them the seperate function room...because we knew from experience some of these women don't give a damn and will "whip" it out in public. I myself would never entertain the idea of breast feeding my child in public...but a while ago I saw this black woman breast feeding her child on the bus at the front no less! I have to say I was shocked...all these people staring at her and she acted like it was nothing.confused3


Edit to say: I find it quite distasteful...but hey it might just be me!:?

as long as they are being discreet by turning their backs to people or using a shawl to cover themselves or somethingthen its fine. But the ones who just 'whip it out' are just vulgar exhibitionists IMO


YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY OTHER PEOPLES\' OPINION OF YOU!! ;0)

@blackpower

sometimes the problem with bottles with breast milk that if it is not used within 2 hrs it can go sour and off

so if baby gets hungray in 2 hours then you cannot give it a bottle, it is not as simple as opening a can of coke.



I am all for breast feeding in public as long as you try to cover yourself , but if their is no function ( and no going to Macdobalds shitty toilets is not an option, then let it be)

sorry

but a grown ass man or woman being offended is not the agends at all , it is the baby needs a feed, end off - who cares about anyone else

jeeez you think the woman is flashing

[size=3]I for one am dead against it!

Such women should respect the fact that I am incapable of exercising the amount of decorum needed to avert my eyes. Besides, as far as I am concerned feeding baby is just an excuse for her to flash her t*ts at me so why shouldn't I oblige her and stare for all I am worth?

Furthermore, it is such a pathetic excuse. Surely she knew the baby would get hungry at some point so why not just stay at home until such time, feed the nipper, then go out in public. That way she can flash her t*ts for me to see without baby blocking the view.......it's damn difficult to cop a good eyeful with a baby's head in the way I can tell you.

Better still, in the interest of public decency, just let the baby starve. Starving babies do not offend me half as much.

Respect

By the way this is a far bigger problem than people realise. I swear that I have observed as many as 5 occurances of this disgusting practice in the last 15 years alone. The last one was in 1997.

It is reaching epidemic proportions I tell you!

Ive seen more men pissing in public that women breastfeeding.


[size=3]But urine infested walkways is far more acceptable than public brestfeeding don't you think?

It must be, because the breast feeding topic has come up far more times in public debate than 'men pissing in the street'.
