I think breast feeding in public WITH the breast EXPOSED is WRONG. I seen nothing wrong with a baby being fed in public IF the mother has the decency to lightly cover the feeding child with a little blanket... There are plenty of those pretty little light weight blankies to use... Heck I've seen nice used ones at yard sales for only 25Cents!

I will soon have a rental house and I will not rent to smokers, because I plan to one day live in that house! The cost of removing the nicotine stains and residue from the walls is high and a lot of work if you plan to do it yourself. (it's called Damage!) You can't just paint over that stuff ...it keeps coming thru. Many Many people are allergic to that.

When you rent an apartment...You are renting the USE of anothers property.. It's not "your own". It will not be "your own" unless you are buying and and have gotten the loan from the bank!

You really think breastfeeding in public is wrong ? Do you think bottle feeding an infant in public is wrong ? You do realize that the nipple on the end of a bottle is make to look and feel like a real nipple... You do know that breastfeeding in normal, while giving a baby a rubber nipple to drink a fabricated powdered source is strange... WHEN DID BREASTFEEDING A CHILD BECOME WRONG ! WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE MADE TO DO !

How does somebody breastfeeding their child in public offend you??? I can't think of anything more natural, OHHHHH! someone might see a nipple!!!! lemme guess......religious right

We've been raised in a society that believes nudity and sex is wrong and dirty, of course people are going to think breastfeeding is wrong. Now I'm not a religious right at all, and I'm 16 so I havent had a kid so maybe I dont get it. But I actually do get offended when people breastfeed in public, because everytime I see a woman do it, its at a resturant (the casual kind) or a cafe and they dont cover the baby up with a blanket. I would be perfectly fine with it if they covered the baby while at a resturant. One time I was getting my hair cut and dyed and the woman waiting on the reception area of the hair salon breastfed her child and then sat him on their new leather couch and changed his poopy diaper right there. Its offensive.

i am apalled to see you say it is wrong for a woman to nurse in public! Do you have the right to eat in public? Then so does the baby! Breastfeeding is the right way of feeding a baby!! Breastfeeding is the way that God designed! Breastmilk is the best thing in the world for the baby. It is always the right temperature and never runs out! A mother should never have to pump out her milk just because you don't want to see it! I personally am offended to see a baby eating from an artificial nipple! As a father, i am thrilled that my wife nurses my kids. I would feel sorry for anyone who tries to degrade her for doing what is the natural and best thing for my kids! If you don't want to see anything, then look away! the baby shouldn't have to ever have to suffer just to make you happy!

And on another note, the mom that got drunk before feeding her baby is nothing but trash! first off, she is selfish to have brought her child into a bar, but even more selfish to have essentially gotten her child drunk!

Breastfeeding an infant is a perfectly natural thing for a body to do. So is making a bowel movement. So, if it is okay for a woman to whip out her left tit for feeding purposes ... is it okay for me to drop trousers in the same place and take a dump? What if I cover my heinie with a blanket, is that better? It's all natural right? What goes in must come out .... it's the cycle of digestion. But, I don't want to see another woman's breast in public any more than she wants to see my natural "leftovers" from eating in public. Am I right?
Do it privately .... for everybody's sake!

No one should drink alcohol while nursing thats a fact but all this bull coming from people about not nursing your child in public etc is really stupid. So either we dont nurse our children or we stay chained to the house untill they are weened? Get a grip. Stop looking at breasts as your funbags and realize that this is what they were ment to do. Drs tell us not to go from bottle to breast , bottle to breast because since the milk flows drifferently from each you run the risk of tummy troubles in your baby andother things they shouldnt have to deal with. Just stop the nonsence about the worlds most wholesome act and get your mind out of the gutter. Its ok to see some old cougar in a short skirt or some teen with tight clothes and muffin top but not the top of a breast with a baby attatched to it? GET A SERIOUS GRIP!

There is nothing wrong with feeding you're baby in public BREASTFEEDING in public is fine, just stay decent while you are doing it;; It is not hard to do. I breastfed both my girls, and while I was grocery shopping too. nobody was the wiser.

Are you kidding me? Do you eat when your out of your house? When you get hungry do you go to a restaurant? Or do you pack your lunch wherever you go? Here's a simple solution, if you don't want to watch a baby doing the most natural thing ON EARTH which is nursing, then turn away, it's as simple as that. No one thinks it's gross when they see other people eating a salad or a sandwich do they? It is no difference in seeing a baby nursing from her mother. Oh and your idea of pumping whenever you have to go out? Some mothers don't have the ability to pump for whatever reason, so what should they do, starve the kid or never go out of the house again?

You morons! Pumping doesn't work that way. At least not for me. I nursed both of my children and they get used to you. Neither one of them wanted any fake nipple. Breasts were MADE for nursing. Not for some perverted people. Get a life you losers!

To:Tina and Sue I just think breastfeeding a child should be done at home or or try and pump milk out so u have enough for the trip . I mean your breast is a private parts of our body and we should keep them cover at all times and not exposed them for the world to c we might as well walk around naked or with no bra on and just let our tits fly around . That would be gross . U should not rip it out just any ol' time and say oh my kid is hungry and i have to feed him and her right thire on the spot while u r enjoying someone conversation and eating and enjoying yourself u should excuse yourself from the table and go feed in private don't make other ppl gross out nobody wants to c other ppl private parts and iam sure u do not want to c mine. if i had a child i do the nice and proper thing and go to a restroom or go home and feed my child. not out in public. Eating is a totally different thing.

I really cant believe that you think breastfeeding in public is so bad. when did something so natural become so bad. people like u need to know that there are plenty of us breastfeeding in public and u dont even know it.

To Angelia:
You think its, "gross" to breastfeed in public , but have no problem using the derogatory term tits on a public message board? If that isn't being a hypocrite I don't know what is?

So Angelia....do you EAT in the bathroom often? How about the public bathroom. No one who is breast feeding is doing anything perverse or disgusting, they are FEEDING their baby. And pumping and giving a baby a bottle who is successfully breastfeeding is sabotage, the child once used to the ease of the bottle will not want to go back to the breast. I think you should re evaluate your considerations about what is normal and natural.

WELL I AM A BREASTFEEDING MOM AND I DO IT DISCREETLY AND PEOPLE EVEN WALK UP AND TALK TO ME AND DO NOT EVEN REALIZE I'M BREASTFEEDING. WITH ALL THE TAINTED FORMULA I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY BABY GETTING SICK AND I HAVE SAVED TONS OF MONEY ALSO. THE MOTHER WHO IS OUT DRINKING AND BREASTFEEDING SHE SHOULD HAVE HER BABY TAKEN AWAY, A BAR IS NOT A PLACE FOR A BABY AND I'M SURE IF YOU WERE AT THAT BAR SINCE IT IS SO OFFENSIVE TO YOU SHE SHOULD HAVE JUST LET THE BABY SCREAM, WHICH WOULD OFFEND YOU MORE THE SCREAM OR THE BREASTFEEDING? BREASTFEEDING HAS CUT MY CHANCES OF GETTING OVARN, BREAST, AND CERVICAL CANCER BY 60% AND SINCE MY FAMILY HAS THE BREAST CANCER GENE I THOUGHT IT BE BEST TO BENEFIT MY BABY'S HEALTH AND MY HEALTH. FOR THOSE WHO ARE SO OFFENDED BY BREASTFEEDING DO NOT HAVE KIDS OR FEED THEM THAT GOOD OLD TAINTED FORMULA AND WORRY ABOUT IF YOU HAVE MONEY FOR IT AND HAVE ALL THE STUFF TO MAKE A BOTTLE. THE AVERAGE ONE SERVING OF FORMULA FROM PREP TO CONTENTS COST ABOUT 2.75 AND A 6-8 A DAY BREASTFEEDING IS THE BEST WAY. IT'S MOTHERS LIKE THE ONE MENTIONED THAT GIVE ALL OF US A BAD WRAP.

u guys can easy pump the milk out into the bottle and carry it with u and instead of exposing yourself in public of all places no i do not eat nor do i drink in a bathroom it is unsanitary and nasty but u can take u'r child in there and take your breast out there and feed it in one of the stalls in private they have bathrooms now called family bathrooms and u can take your child in there and to dit there and take all the time in the world u need and want and spend one one one time . not whileppl are trying to eat and enjoying there meal and being with there friends and family. Iam not saying it wrong not to breastfeed that is a special time between mother and a child but it is a one on one time with monther and child in the privicey of your own home or in a private of a public bathroom not out in the open where there are other kids there . Would you want your kid watching u and u'r husband having sex or a porn video at the age of 1 year old i think not that some what the same thing if u think about it. kind sitting at another table and the happens to look around and go mommy what that lady doing and ask a slew of questions. It is embarrassment for the mother and on the child cause u have to answer the child and explain to your what is going on even tho to u he/she is to young to know whatever the age he/she is at the time.U need to think of other ppl witch u mother's out there do not thinks about other ppl and its upon them witch u should Do u change a child nasty diaper at the table no u take the child to the bathroom and u change the child there in privacy. So since u change u'r child 's diaper in private so should u breastfeed.

Breastfeeding is natural, practical and healthy for babies. Not necessarily a must do, I breast fed only two of my four. I never did it in public and I don't find it offensive. What I do find gross and offensive is that a three week old baby was bar hopping with the mom and then drank her contaminated milk. The mom should lose her right to breast feed and her right to have further babies. What condition was she in to properly care for this child and what happens when she passes out cold and can't take her baby in the middle of the night?

What is wrong is that you think this is a decent post. What is wrong is that when you were in English class, you were sleeping.
