Would you breast feed in public?

I would breast feed in public but obviously I'd ask the woman for permission first.

[joeysteele]

I am male so it would be an impossibility for me to do so, however yesterday I talked to a lot of the female members of my family and every single one said no they would not.

They would ensure the baby was fed before they went anywhere and if the need arose to feed they would return home as quickly as possible or ask somewhere if there was a room or private space they could use to do so.

One said she was in town and the baby was crying a lot so she wanted to try to feed him, she went into the Library and they let her in to a back room to feed the baby.
She didn't feel at a disadvantage at all and was far more happy and relaxed to be able to do so in 'private'.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

if you feel awkward at seeing a woman feed a baby the fault is Y O U R S

we should not pander to ridiculous Victorian morality

[Kizzy]

Yes I have, and yes I would. I've yet to hear a credible reason why someone would object so vehemently to it.

^^ This quite frankly....

I certainly would....(I was unable to breast feed so it wasn't an issue for me). I do think that some people seem to think that a breast feeding woman whips em out for all to see. When in fact you would in all probability walk past a nursing mother and have no idea she was feeding.

[Mokka]

Absa-Frigin-lutely!!

[joeysteele]

I don't object to it myself however if I had taken someone out to a Restaurant for a meal,especially in Claridges, then had a baby crying and then clearly being fed.

While I wouldn't object in any way, I would firstly think it an inappropriate place for the baby to be anyway so near a feeding time.
My Mum said she always had her babies to as near a set feeding time as she could and in the main it worked.

For me, it is a natural thing to do obviously and it looks a really loving moment too but would I want to see it everywhere I go, I doubt that.
I still say. she could have asked if there was a private area she could go to to feed the baby.
If it is expected others are considerate to babies being fed if there is no private area then surely it is as fair to consider the feelings others may have as to the issue in a public place too.

Mind you, the people coughing,spluttering and blowing their noses in a Restauarant are the ones who would annoy me,whereas a Mother feeding her baby,if I saw it would likely get a mushy aah from me.

Would you breast feed in public?
Answer even if you are not a woman.

No, never, unless it was absolutely essential.

[joeysteele]

No, never, unless it was absolutely essential.

Hello Kazanne,:wavey: you have said exactly what just about all the female members in my family said when I asked them this question.

Fecking pervert:joker:

[smudgie]

No.
It would be like feeding time at the zoo.
Most young teens I know would end up blushing just knowing what was going on, never mind actually seeing it.
Is very personal and bonding between mother and baby...no need for an audience.:shrug:

[Kizzy]

A toilet? :/

[Christmas Dynasnow]

You cant respect a stupid backward morality. Babies and feeding come way way before some faux sexual embarrassment

[Jamesy]

If I had a vag and a baby I probably wouldn't feed in public. People would stare at you and I wouldn't want to have people gawping at me.

That said it doesn't bother me if I see people breast feed in public. As long as it isn't being done in my face I don't see the problem.

[JoshBB]

Boobs are secondary sex characteristics anyway, the same as facial hair. But that's another argument for another day.

Of course a woman should be allowed to breastfeed, it's perfectly natural. If you're uncomfortable with it then it's your fault and you need to desensitise yourself to it.

Peeing and pooing is perfectly natural aswell but most people don't do it in public,we all know breast feeding is natural and so it should be, but you will always get those people who will see it as something else,you can see, even from this thread sexual jibes about it,so yes it could be deemed to be a turn on for some pervs and a laughing stock for some kids out there ,we all know how ****ed up the world is,there's a time and a place for everything imo.

Why on earth should a baby be fed in a toilet? :umm2:

A lot of toilets are cleaner than places to eat nowadays Marsh:hehe: and there is usually a nice baby changing room.

Would you like your cubicle to be taken up by a breastfeeding mother when you're busting for a sh*t? :rant:

Hardly, and No!
Most public washrooms are not set up for a mother to sit comfortably with baby.
And no, not more sanitary. Every time a toilet flushes, fecal matter gets released into the air, never mind the hot air blowers spreading all that s**+ around.

It was said tongue and cheek,hence the smilie !!! but saying that some of the supermarket baby changing rooms are very clean,comfy and have no loo in that actual room!

[erinp5]

Only if I couldn't find a quiet private area but it doesn't bother me if others choose to do so ...it's just not for me ..

[Ammi]

..no I wouldn't, I'm too self conscious to have breast-fed in public myself..other than at family/friend's homes but that's not really 'public'...I do think though that mothers shouldn't feel as though they have to 'separate' themselves into a private room if they need to feed their baby while they are out or restrict their going out around the baby being fed..that shouldn't be necessary and they should feel perfectly comfortable to be breast feeding in a public space...because they've often probably gone out to be in a social situation in the first place..and then they would be sat in a room away from their group....

My best friend is breast feeding her baby atm, I've been out to lunch with her numerous times and she's fed her baby in the restaurant we've been at, you seriously would barely even notice she's doing it, you can see nothing. I don't know where people see these exhibitionists who clearly only had babies so they'd have an excuse to whip their boobs out in public :umm2: because anyone I've ever seen breast feeding their baby in public has always been very discreet about it. I think people who have a problem with a woman feeding her child in public need to get a grip tbqh

omfg, im crying! hahaha


But yeah, in response to this thread...

If I had a newborn baby who was hungry, I'd do it in public. But I'd find somewhere quiet to do it. (tbh, i'd probably have stocked up before hand)

I can understand why its something that people find uncomfortable. I would if I saw it in public. But I wouldn't cause a fuss, because at the end of the day, as great as boobs are, that's all they are for.

Breastfeed where you like, but be discreet about it, use a shawl. Next time I see someone doing a whole Earth Mother Production though, I'm getting mine out too.

[Vicky.]

I always said I would...until I tried it. Its really not as easy as it appears getting them latched on correctly and that. So I probably wouldnt. If I could do it discreetly I would, but taking like half an hour of repositioning baby would have everyone staring :laugh:

I had no problem feeding around people though tbh, even did it when my father in law was here...aslong as baby is latched before they come in :S
