Quote From: nicole984first, i dont watch women breastfeed, its kinda shoved in to where i happen to be looking. you nurse wherever you want. 2nd, bottle feeding is different, it doesnt involve a breast...in case you didnt know. obviously, this isnt about feeding your child specifically, but the fact, that your taking out something that otherpeople more than likey dont want to see..including myself, whether or not its to feed your baby. b/c trust me...some guys are not staring b/c your baby's so darn cute. would you flash yourself?... sure you can say...its a different context, but flashing a breast is flashing a breast, i dont care what your doing. like i said before. i personally dont think its appropriate, but im not going to go up to a woman and tell her to stop. she has her rights. its my opinion.
I think I can probably speak for all of the breastfeeding mommies when I say this: When we nurse in public no man can see enough of our boobs to get excited unless they are just sick, then thats their problem not mine. Its not like we hang our boobs out for all to see. When I nurse in public you cannot even tell I am nursing, it looks like my baby is sleeping against my chest. And if he starts wiggling around or playing, there is still less of my breast to be seen than with some of these clothes some girls are wearing now that let everything hang out. What I don't understand is why its acceptable for breasts to be half exposed when its in a sexual way(with skimpy clothing), but its not ok for breasts to exposed a little in order to feed a hungry, fussy child? Its a shame our society has gotten to this...
