10/07 The Latest Debates

Quote From: boobmama

I personaly feel that a child has every right to eat in public no matter if it's artificial or natural.  I am offended to see bottle-feeders however I would never make them go in the bathroom etc to eat. nor would I ask them to cover up the baby because the bottle offends me. 
I agree with you.  I was just trying to make a point though.

I laughed when I saw your photo. I wonder if people will be able to look away if it offends them, or if they will write to Dr. Phil to try and have the pic removed! LOL

breast feeding is ok but i think that you should cover up.and i think your pic should be taken off.i what are you trying to prove by showing your breast on computer.i dont think anyone should breast feed in public.i breast fed both of my kids.or at least cover up i dont want to see other peopls brearts while im eatting.and as far as turning away how do you do that if your right in front of me.if your going to breast feed do it at home.not in public

You should be careful by saying that it offends you to see a bottle fed baby...I breast fed my child until I could not anymore....(reasons...none of anyones business) but does that mean that I am not giving my child the best that I can?  Does it make me a bad mom???  There are women that cannot nurse for many reasons and by making that comment...you are making them feel even worse than they already do.  That is a hurtful comment to make.  We are talking about a simple thing of just trying to be discreet in public.  I don't think that that is bad at all.  When I did breast feed...I didn't think that that was a problem or took it offensively....I do however take the comment of "you find it offensive when you see a bottle being fed to a baby"  Even when I was breast feeding...sometimes I would pump and put it into a bottle.  I don't think that that is at all wrong.
