"There is no reason that can't wait till after you leave the restaraunt, the baby isn't going to starve if you wait another 15 minutes to feed it. "


Have you ever heard a screaming baby when they want to eat? When they want it, they want it now. And I would think that the majority of people in a resteraunt would rather not hear a screaming,hungry baby than see a boob. Most mothers cover up anyways when they do this. If you don't like it then don't look. But the baby has to eat for gods sake.

I don't have kids yet, but when I see a mother breastfeeding in public, I see it as a natural thing. Not gross at all. It's just a boob, all females have them, how are they gross? I don't get it.

So don't do it at the table? Seems like a pretty easy solution. Just because legally you can do it wherever, doesn't mean you should. Thats the point.

Not really Shimmer. Mothers who breastfeed in non discrete ways in public are by FAR the minority. It's not as if you see overly exposed women breastfeeding on a daily basis. Which is the point all the pro public feeders seem to consistantly ignore, even though all of them who breastfeed have indicated that they have used a blanket or done it as privateley as possible. I've stated time and time again, discrete public feeding is FINE. It's the blatent disregard to even attempt to cover up that I'm protesting.

I'm sorry Shimmer, but breastfeeding or not, I don't want to see your engorged breasts/nipples in public. It has nothing to do with the baby eating and everything to do with showing yourself like that publicly is gross. Just because your lactating doesn't suddenly make it ok to put yourself all out there for everyone. I dont want to be eating in a restaruant as you flash everyone in sight because you have an urgent need to breastfeed at the dinner table. There is no reason that can't wait till after you leave the restaraunt, the baby isn't going to starve if you wait another 15 minutes to feed it.

I'm not saying don't breastfeed. I'm saying, when you do it, take into consideration everyone else around you. Because when you choose to do this, you need to understand that it's NOT a common sight, and it does make a lot of people uncomfortable. So if you are planning on doing it, be discrete, and use a little common sense on the locations you decide to do it in.

So don't do it at the table? Seems like a pretty easy solution. Just because legally you can do it wherever, doesn't mean you should. Thats the point.

Again, hypocrisy.
You're the same person, the very same person, who has time and again stood up in this very site, and said that there's nothing wrong with dressing 'slutty' if it makes you feel good, or with wearing a super short miniskirt and a half top.
You're that person.
You're the person that says "So? If you've got the body flaunt it!!11elventy~!" and "There's nothing wrong with showing some skin!"
You've said that time and again, not only about adults, but about small children as well...saying that there's nothing wrong with a 'prostitot', or a nine year old dressing like a 22 year old club rat.
You're that person.
You.

Yet...when it comes to woman feeding her child in the most natural and God given way possible, you get squeamish, saying "I don't want to see that."


It works both ways, that sword. You can't have qualms about seeing a woman feeding her child yet tell people who don't want to see tits and ass everywhere to deal with it.

That's the hypocrisy, because you're trying to play both sides of the harmonica at the same time.

Yes please, let me leave the dinner I'm paying for, the company I'm enjoying, the food I've requested, and go somewhere else for YOUR own personal comfort. Absolutely.


It's amazing.

You'll defend to the point of threads having to be locked people doing drugs (saying it's normal experimentation), driving drunk (who hasn't, right? We all do it, right?), etc., doing things that are deliberately and willfully harmful to not only the individual in question, but potentially to the others around them, yet you demand that a nursing mother leave the room for the sake of your own whimsical modesty.

Maybe you should have fed your baby before you came in then, or left the infant at home with a sitter. If the baby is that young to where your still breastfeeding, it probably shouldn't be at a restaraunt anyways. And i'm paying for food too, not for breasts.
