I agree!!!

Quote From: helpmeinnd

When I read your post, it struck a nerve with me.  I was just wondering if you think moms who feed their children a bottle in public should go "find a restroom or someplace where [they can have privacy"??  I am assuming that you must think bottle feeding is not lady like either since both acts are accomplishing the samething...feeding a hungry baby???   

A women who is breastfeeding in public isn't  doing it to show off her breasts (which is why you are saying it isn't ladylike I assuming), she is feeding her child.   

Just wanted to say that I agree with you!!!  I bottlefeed my little guy but I publically nursed my first son and I don't have a problem with anyone else doing the same.  My only problem is when ladies aren't discreet... I don't think anyone needs to see excess skin. ;)

I do not have a problem with bottle feeding. Its the breastfeeding part. In response to your question about finding a place where a woman can have privacy, the answer is yes. In my opinion, its none of anyone's business when a mother is feeding her child, such as breastfeeding.
