No experience clutters your opinion
Quote From: kat62400As a mother who chose not to breastfeed, I definitely feel that breastfeeding in public is not something I care to see. Special restrooms & mother areas were created so that the public would not have to see exposed breasts during their day to day life. These rooms offer the mother & baby a private area to not only address feedings, but to be intimate as well. I do not enjoy having an areola in my eyesight while I am eating lasagna, and I can't believe that it is that hard to cover yourself with a blanket if you have to do it in public. Thanks!  Maybe it's because you've never done it that you don't understand. Have you ever tried to cover your baby with a blanket while you were bottle feeding him? My daughter won't tolerate a blanket; she just pulls it down and drops it on the floor.
I do my best to be descrete, but I'm not going to feed her in the bathroom... ICK! I'll barely go to the bathroom in a public restroom, I don't want my child in that dirty environment. I have only ever seen ONE mother area in my town... and that was in a Babies-R-Us.
Everyone keeps talking about rights on this issue. Well according to the state of Nevada, I have the right to feed my child in ANY public place. Anywhere I am allowed to be, I am allowed to feed my baby. That's the law.
