Why are people flipped out about breast feeding in public? I cannot for the life of me understand why people freak out when they see a woman breast feeding in public. It would be one thing if the woman sat there ripping off her top and bra and just hitching the baby to her tit but it's totally harmless when a mother feeds her baby under the blanket. I have caught glimpses of woman's breasts as they whip them out to feed the baby and maybe it's because I'm not sexually stimulated by them that it doesn't phase me.
Are you one of these people who freak out? Why? 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Moderator | Natures way of feeding a baby. Nothing wrong with breastfeeding. That's what they are for!!! I did all 3 of my kids. I did it in public coz I hated having to go and sit on a toilet seat. Quite uncomfortable to be on toilet seat for mom and especially baby. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture!

Dunno, maybe it's like everyone says and I realy am too old to be breastfed still. Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |

I am not kidding. I have seen people act as if the woman were having actual sex with the child. People's insecurities about sexuality are comical sometimes. How can anyone look at it as wrong/bad/filthy? And why shouldn't a mother be able to feed the baby whenever it's hungry no matter if she's in a supermarket, restaurant or mall? Why does shame have to be involved? People are crazy 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I love you, Organgrinder. You hit it on the head: Shame. It's ingrained in our culture, especially when it comes to our bodies and any natural processes thereof. I breastfed my daughters whenever and wherever they were hungry. I got my fair share of stares, but I would just hock a polite loogie in the asshole's direction and they usually got the message.

I agree...it's just because women's breasts have been so over sexualized that most people have forgotten why they're there in the first place...to feed babies. It's really disgusting what society has turned it into. | |

Funny how human beings, so allegedly poisoned by technology, are enjoying the longest lifespan in recorded history. Remember: The media makes money by scaring the shit out of you. . [This message was edited Tue Sep 23 15:45:29 PDT 2003 by teller] Fear is the mind-killer. | |

depends on where those tests were done. asbestos is only prevelant in certain area of the country... only reason i know anything at all about that...is because we just had a shitload of it removed from our land... from everything ive read...breast feeding is still the best nutritional thing for a newborn baby. and i would only hope that the doctors that live in those areas where the asbestos contamination is...would be smart enough to advise their mother patients not to breast feed due to that contamination...but doctors suck...so they prolly dont. but in a perfect world..maybe they would vi | |

Are you one of these people who freak out? Why? Fuck, I don't even see why they should have to use the blanket. Let the kid breathe. People have issues with nudity in general. Prudes. | |

I think it is a personal private thing.. Not everyone wants to see a woman whip out their boob and breast feed in public.. Dont' get me wrong.. I have nothing against it if done in the bathroom or someplace private.. I was on the train once and a woman sitting next to me and whipped out her boob to feed her .. GET THIS.. her 4 year old son... that is just gross... there is an age limit on that. your suppose to medically only breast feed for like a few months tops! At the age of 4.. that is just sick! I guess that turned me off to breast feeding in a public place! Little Miss Muffin... You vixen you...-Sag10 | |

Aside from the 4 year old thing ...a woman shouldn't have to flee to a bathroom everytime the baby needs feeding. What if she isn't close to one and what about the bus? It aint like the city buses are equipped like greyhounds.. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

They are usually on a schedule.. so if the baby eats around 3pm.. dont get on a bus... That is true.. But then it should be done before or after the bus ride..

Plus, holy geezus, wouldn't you rather be on a bus with a kid being breastfed than a kid screaming 'cause it's hungry? [This message was edited Tue Sep 23 18:10:15 PDT 2003 by tackam] | |
