How do you feel about Mums feeding babies by using their boobs to secrete milk in places such as restaurants, park benches, churches, bowling alleys and supermarkets such as AsdaWallmart?

Its the most natural thing in the world, good on them I say

Yes given new Mums are practically demonised by midwives for using a bottle! I can't see the big deal myself, most people who have an issue with public breastfeeding, seem to have no issue with boobs on display in a sexual way.

Maybe it's spoiling their boob fantasies by seeing them used for what they were intended

That must be it!

As long as they let me have some I don't see the problem tbh.

If you have ever tasted that foul gruel you would not say that

I see no problem with it at all - most women who are feeding, you would never know anyway as they are so discreet.

Not had chance yet obviously. For some reason women don't take too kindly to me walking up to them and asking if they don't mind letting me have a swally.

It actually tastes like sugary milk

And I think it should be encouraged tbh. Its the most healthy thing for the baby (I couldnt breastfeed with Skye and was devastated..gunna try again with this one) and if more women did it, the less strange people would find it.

Not surprised in Govan, any excuse to get their tits out.

There is no reason why a mother cannot be discreet and find a place not to public and if not she can always position her clothing so everything is not on display.

We are not living in the Victorian era now so I don't understand why anyone has a problem with this...

i saw two examples of this on sunday while out walking at a nature reserve that includes a kids play park and cafe.

one lady was feeding her child while covering up with a blanket the other lady had the childs mouth to her breast for all to see!

i dont have a problem but the second lady could have been a bit more discreet.

This however, I do find rather creepy. Yes teach kids that its natural, but I would feel uncomfortable seeing a 5 year old walking round with a doll stuck to her chest tbh

Just shows the benny hill mentality of some British men... Pathetic.
And those who think it's disgusting do you know where the milk for your coffee comes from?

I get mine from the fridge

[user104658]

Why would the babies have boobs??? Damn you, Fukushima, damn you!


...more seriously: the obvious answer is, if you dony want to see it, dont look? My partner has breastfed both of our children and often "in public" without a second thought. If certain chronically immature individuals are "grossed out" by that we'll... I'm afraid to break the news... that none of us give a stuff. Not even slightly.

I'd also say to consider this, especially with newborns: breastfed babies don't feed like bottle babies. They dont have a big "feast" and then KO for hours, they "snack" frequently and are quiet and content when doing so. So my question is this: if you're out for dinner, would you rather have to "put up with" a breastfeeding mum and baby causing no fuss or noise that you can simply avert your gaze from if for some unfathomable reason it offends you... OR would you prefer to listen to an unhappy, grumbling baby at the next table for 45 minutes?


I swear the whole argument about being "put off food" by it is ridiculous. Some peoples faces put me off my food. I'm not just saying that: they genuinely do. Some people are so ugly and grubby looking that they give me the dry heave. So, yes, you guessed it! I simply *don't look at them*! I don't tell them they should leave or request that they kindly put on a mask. And they're sure as **** more offensive to look at than a peacefully breastfeeding baby.

How do you milk a fridge? That sounds like a money-saver right there.

[Vicky.]

Surely even if the mother just flops a boob out and puts the baby on (most breastfeeding mothers have a shawl or a lose top or something to be discreet though)...you still cant see anything anyway? The babies head would be blocking everything
