Breast-Feeding Moms Protest Restaurant

You are disgusting and probably gay. What a stupid comment to post. Obviously you were not breast fed. Thus explaining how cold and dumb you are.

You do not HAVE TO watch! Concentrate on your meal and your dining companion, and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. The only way you need to pay any attention to a breastfeeding woman in a restaurant is if she is there WITH you!

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with you on this issue. Breast feeding is a beautiful and natural thing to do.... to some people. Personally, I am a mother of two grown men, I was raised to not show my butt in a dress, not to pick, or blow my nose at a table, and not to pull my boob out in public. No matter who I was feeding at the time. ( sorry, kinda grude) but that seems like thats the only thing, todays sociaty understands. I raised my sons with manners and respect, as I would have if they were girls. I go to eat at a restaurant, to relax and enjoy my meal, not to see some woman reach in her blouse and pull out a boob to feed a kid in front of me. Some times, my bra hurts me to wear, trust me, no one wants to see me go commando in front of them, that should be my right, but I have a little more respect for the people dining around me. AS SHOULD ALL BREAST FEEDING MOMS. Put them away in public, unless you are advertising for a man. The women bathrooms now days are equipt with large enough facilities to breast feed you kids in private. If a man would ever say something out of the way to these women, they would be the first to complain. Changing a baby"s diaper is a natural thing too, but I don't want to see someone change it at the table either. So yes, Mike, I agree with you, and I think the manager was right to ask the woman to leave, after trying to get her to use another solution.

Hwy Mike....anyone would bet anything that YOU would LOVE to be that BREAST PUMP.......YOU're an idiot.

Mike: people wouldn't scream at you if you'd soften your tone a little bit. What you said wasn't offensive until the word "disgusting" was used. Wrong choice there, buddy---you won't find many people finding anything disgusting about breast-feeding, and it's a good way to make nice people blow their cork at you!

@ Mike - Breastfeeding is in no way disgusting or dirty or something that should be done in hiding. In truth, it is how we are meant to eat as infants. Get over yourself.

@ Elizabeth - Are you for real? "...probably gay" Really? Are you in second grade, and is this the biggest come back you could come up with? News flash, Betty.. I'm gay and a big advocate for breast feeding mothers' rights. So ditto to Mike, get over yourself.

I am with you on this 100%! I do not want this obscenity in my view as I eat lunch or dinner. These people are disgusting and only looking for attention!

ummm yeah don't call him gay just because he doesn't like seeing women breastfeed at a restaurant when you're trying to make a point try to sound intelligent and not insensitive.
and not all people who weren't breastfed are dumb and cold that's also another stupid remark.
but i do have to agree i don't understand why people make such a big deal out of women breastfeeding it's just them feeding their babies what's the big deal?

Totally agree Mike, Breast feeding is ok if done decently, why is it ok for these women to expose their breasts in front of young kids and other people trying to eat their meal? It IS indecent exposure! Go to your car and feed the kid or cover up. Restaurant was right to ask her to leave after rejecting other options.

I totally agree with you Mike. Although breast feeding is natural, in a public dinning experience where other people are trying to eat and the manager has kindly pointed out that other customers feel uncomfortable I'm kind of shocked that this woman came back with such force. I see it as a manners issue. Even though the law says that she has the right to breast feed there, clearly a customer felt uneasy and said something to the manager. She could have gone to the restroom or even to the front of the restaurant, but instead she felt the need get 15 minutes of fame. There may be more facets to the story, but it seems like this woman is lacking in manners. Just because something is "natural" doesn't mean we want to see it.

then dont go to restaurants..I don't have kids, but do you want to eat in a restroom or "private" place?? as long as a woman has a blanket or someting to cover they have every right to breastfeed in public. If it makes other patrons uncomfortable then the OTHER patrons can leave!!

personally....i dnt like the idea of seeing a grown ladys' breast while i am eating!

Breast feeding is not disgusting unless you are a child between the ages of 7 or 8 and "the tween years". It is normal and natural. Done LONG before bottles were invented.... BUT ....if the action makes other diners/patrons uncomfortable then the Mom should be conciderate of everyones rights and not just hers. Seems like this was just an action to get her name in the news.

You know... it said it all right there in the story... however the law is NOT on her side... a KENTUCKY law doesn't mean jack when you're in CINCINATTI, OH!!!! This woman is retarded... and anyone that thinks she's right is as well, there is no law protecting her. There's nothing wrong with women breastfeeding in public... so long as they understand that there's nothing wrong with every guy staring at her breasts while she is doing so... if you want to do it publicly that's just fine, just understand that when you do, you are opening yourself up to whatever happens after that. Ever action has a re-action and if you think that you're exempt from that you've got another thing coming... just remember ladies you have no right to complain when it comes to doing something like that in public, men will take pictures, they will stare, and you will have to put up with it because you are in public and no law is going to protect you from that.

Mike, why is breastfeeding "disgusting" to you? Is it the female breast that's disgusting to you or the act of an infant nursing on it?

All mammals nurse their young; it's nature's first feeding mechanism, and there's nothing "disgusting" about it. Humans are, to my knowledge, the only species of animal that feels this way, and Americans in particular are squeamish about it. I don't know if it's a sexual thing or the fact that nudity is disgusting to some people, but whatever it is, it's childish.

How can the government say what can or can't happen in a private location as the law states above? If some lady came onto my personal private property and pulled out her breast in front of my kid I'd ask her to leave. If she brought her disgusting rogue friends back to protest I'd call the police and if they didn't take care of it I would. You don't expose yourself in front of other people's kids, period. This is simple common courtesy.

Last Thursday on vacation in Denver, at the King Tut museum, I needed to feed my baby. To avoid making others uncomfortable while feeding my 5 month old, I used a bottle. I was approached by security and asked to leave due to having liquids in the premises. No exceptions to the rules. I was so tramatized and embarrased thatI I left in tears. Next time i will just breast feed in public.

I guess you shouldn't go out to eat then, either, so no one has to watch YOU eat. Nursing a child is completely natural. Why should a child not eat when everyone else is? If you don't want to watch, look away. Simple as that.

This woman has no manners at all! Would she breastfeed her child in church, or while getting a speeding ticket or teaching a kindergarden class? I'm sure when the law was put into effect it also assumed that people would use COMMON SENSE! I too would be offended if I were eating at a resturant with my family and saw this. There is a time and a place for things, and this woman is obviously a very self-centered piece of work, that thinks just because the law says she can do this, that everyone should be ok with her decision to feed publicly. Lots of people don't use common sense anymore, it really makes me sick!
