Quote From: rosepetalI did breast feed one of my children for nine months and NEVER exposed myself in public (I always had a diaper or something to put over us). If he had a tendancy to pull the cloth off, I would peek underneath it and keep his attention elsewhere so that this would not happen. I personally feel that when women expose themselves that THEY are wanting attention, enjoy making other women uncomfortable (or angry if her guy is there), and get a thrill at other men watching her. Afterall, when have you EVER witnessed a man turn away from a free peek at something that he sees as sexual. I doublt that there are very many men out there in any given time and place that would turn away disgusted at the sight of a woman exposing herself whether it was to breast feed or not. I feel that all women who are breast feeding should honor other people's privacy issues and keep them covered in public as WE are the MAJORITY here!
I will have to wait to see the poll that DR Phil took to see what the majority really thinks. If my baby needs to eat I will feed him. If he wont keep a cover on I will discreet as possible. it has nothing to do with being sexual or wanting attention. If breast feeding makes you so uncomfortable, what about the women who do put themselves on display in the low cut shirts that show WAY MORE then you would ever see from a breast feeding mom? Or is it the act of breast feeding you find so repulsive?
