Yes debated alot today.

[user104658]

Breastfeeding should be allowed anywhere that babies are allowed, however...

This, pretty much. This shouldn't need to be a debate as, in my opinion, it would be a much simpler solution just to make it a child-free zone entirely other than prearranged tours and visits etc.

Can MPs just eat at one of the many bars around the place?

Never understood and never will understand what the problem with breast feeding is They're just boobs. What's the issue?

Yeah same here and most times when a woman is breast feeding you wouldn't even know she's doing it. I do however agree with Cherie that this probably isn't the place for a baby in general anyway

because women can pump and give their babies a bottle in public, that's why.

This debate isn't about breastfeeding per se it about bring babies to work and breastfeeding on the job so to speak

Well yeah I suppose then, in that case I don't know whether or not it's right for babies to be allowed in work situations like the house of commons. But I think in principle, if someone for whatever reason does have their baby with them (there might be extenuating circumstances I can't think of right now ) then there shouldn't be any problem with the baby being breastfed whilst already there.

I agree

[lostalex]

why are women so obsessed with showing their tits always?

if women are allowed to quirt white stuff from their tits in public, then i should be allowed to squirt white stuff from my dick in public.

yes we know you have tits ladies, now put them away.

[Ammi]

..yeah, they can do that as an option as well Alex but if their baby is with them, they don't need to because they can just breastfeed...but still no relevance to the 'seedy' bit..

i think women get used to all the attention they get when they are pregnant, and they use breastfeeding to continue getting more attention and special treatment. it;s like look at me everyone, see i made a baby! treat me special! just because i'm not pregnant anymore does;'t mean i don't still want extra attention! i liked all the attention! please keep giving me more attention!

...I would think that 'special attention' from breast feeding in public places is around the last thing a female gets ..(in a positive way..)...many people still see it as something that they would rather not see../hence why we have so may stories/discussions on it...a breast feeding female still needs to live a life and go places that may not mean she can always be home for her child's feeding times, so a feed in public is sometimes necessary otherwise there would be a very distressed and screaming child...would that be 'attention' as well, if that happened and was allowed to continue without the child being fed...

yea, and babies poo themselves all the time too, does that mean it's okay for women to change a diaper in public everywhere too? no...

do you think it's okay for a mother to change a babies diaper in the middle of a restaurant?

no baby is gonna starve to death if they have to wait 30 minutes for food, and like i pointed out before, all women pump their milk into bottles, so they can easily carry bottles with them just like they cary a million other things with them in their strollers and bags, and purses. The women that are breast feeding in public are doing it for attention.

[joeysteele]

Rather backward looking from the MPs as to this issue.
This is the 21st century for goodness sake, for ages women were denied the vote,that's gone.
No need now to treat then like second class citizens and second class MPs,just because they are Mothers too, if a baby needs feeding,it needs feeding, and the stuffed shirts who it would make feel uncomfortable, should just get on with it and look away.

Maybe even ask themselves as to having such views what they are doing in Parliament themselves anyway.

...stuffed with formula bottles to nip out and feed their babies when they need to, maybe...

I disagree Joey this is about a woman doing her job would MPs accept a Dad bottle feeding an infant while responding to a question posed by the PM, the answer is no, this has nothing to do with being liberal, breastfeed all you like ladies when you are on your own time but during consultation with a constituent or posing a question on their behalf in the house, no!

[Ammi]

..I guess that some could question whether mothers/fathers bringing their babies into the House of Common Chamber could raise the intelligence and behaviour and be an asset...
