Quote From: breezybabeI just finished watching the debate over breastfeeding, all I have to say is the girl who was against breastfeeding in public sounded like an idiot to me. She didn't have any reason not to like it except for that it "wasn't attractive" - it's
not supposed to be attractive, it's supposed to feed your child!!! When you are a breastfeeding mother, you have no choice as to when your child gets hungry and you have to feed them. I don't believe it's fair for a breastfeeding mother to be relegated to the restroom when the rest of the family is enjoying their meal. And as far as covering up goes, I can't imagine that if I still breastfed my 1 year old and tried to throw a blanket over his face how long that would last! I say all the power to you to any mother who wants to breastfeed in public - and everyone who is offended by it - look away and mind your own business!!!
Your the one who chose to have kids, and all the things that come alone with that. Is socializing more important than feeding your child. There is nothing unhigenic about nursing in the bathroom, it's just boring for mom. One year old children should be able waight till you get home to nurse. That's not their only form of nutrition.
