hello simple solution

Quote From: nitehelen4

First of all, why do you breast feed at all? Uh....you're the one who mentioned "sexuality".......does it have something to do with that? If you don't want to go into a place where you can smell other people's gas and hear them urinate and defecate to feed your child, GET A BREAST PUMP. Hello??? Simple solution!!

Don't want to breastfeed? don't, simple solution, I didn't. Don't want to breastfeed in public? Don't you have that choice. Don't want to see someone else breastfeed? You control your eyes and what you look at, so look away. Maybe you should go eat in the bathroom and spare everyone from being exposed to your ignorance, simple solution.

So because you have a problem with the way a woman feeds her child, even discreetly, Her only options are to feed in a germ infested public restroom or buy a breast pump and subject herself to sometimes painful pumping? All this because you cant handle the fact that breast were made for feeding. Do you support breast feeding?

and where do you propose I pump? THAT is something I do with my door locked at work when I can't be with my baby.   Why do I breastfeed? Visit www.promom.org/101 and educate yourself.   BTW - sexuality is mentioned because too many people view breastfeeding as something sexual b/c they view breasts as sexual as opposed to functional - I don't expose myself when I nurse in public, so if you are uncomfortable with seeing my baby up close to my chest, then you are uncomfortable with the knowledge that I am feeding my child this way. If that is the case, ask yourself WHY.

FYI, not every woman is able to successfully use a breast pump (some can't produce milk with a pump) and MANY babies who are breastfed refuse a bottle.  It sounds "simple" to someone who has never seen a baby with "nipple confusion".  My point is, don't condemn someone's actions when you haven't walked a mile...

Breast pumps are not the answer for every woman

I have a 3 month old.  I breastfeed both in private and in public.  I also have a very good electric breast pump.  Do you know how much milk I am able to express per day?  6 oz.  6 pittiful little oz.  Do you think my baby would be content with that?  I have no problem producing milk, I just can't express it with a pump the same way my son can express it by latching on.

Isn't it ironic that the majority of people who are against breastfeeding in public either don't have kids or don't breastfeed the ones they have?  Talk about not knowing what you're talking about!

breastfeeding is best for baby.  It's scientifically proven. Even the makers of formula know it.  Is it so hard to imagine that there are those of us who want to do whats best  for our child?  I know it's tough fo some to imagine being to selfless, but it does happen.

you ask why breastfeed at all......because it is the best food for the baby......and since you have all these simple solutions...maybe they should make some sense.......your statement is ignorant,...breastfeeding is not a sexual act..........and if you feel its ok to eat in a bathroom be my guest, but i  am breastfeeding fmy baby from breast in a sanitary place.

"WHY BREASTFEED AT ALL?"  UH >>>because its BEST for baby!!!! and that's what we have breasts for. Its the natural way to feed your child. We are the only one who feed our babies another species milk.  

Im sure the writer mentionned sexuality, because she/he was assuming that is why people have a problem with breastfeeding, because they see the breasts as a sexual object. That is why people have a problem with women breastfeeding in public? isn't it? because society is obsessed with sexuality, and they see breasts as sexual. 

PUMPING is NOT a SIMPLE SOLUTION. If you know anything about breastfeeding, you'd know that not everyone can pump easily, and that a baby is much more effective at getting the milk. and alot of babies WON"T TAKE A BOTTLE, or parents don't want to introduce a bottle for fear of nipple confusion.  

I think this writer is being very rude, and should get your information right, before putting someone else down. 

Shouldn't women be working to SUPPORT each other?????  

If you see a woman breastfeeding, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!! and if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. Motherhood is hard enough!!!!! 

  

by the way, would you rather sit at a restauraunt and listen to a screeching baby, or have its mother discteretly breastfeed it????
