10/07 The Latest Debates

Quote From: tuckerfam7

Then your issue was not with her breastfeeding, but her lack of respect for those around her. Those few gives the rest of us a bad name. You're right, it was done in poor taste and for that, I'm sorry. Not all of us are as uncouth as that woman was. All we wish for is to be left alone in our decisions to breastfeed. I don't whip it out in front of anyone. So why should I still receive the nasty comments and rude looks?

I quite agree with you. Being 47 I have seen the change in the way mothers have chosen to raise their children. I have no problem with feeding in public if it is done with discretion and taste. I know that it is uncomfortable to have to use a blanket, how about a large scarf? or a loose fitting top? I think it's grand that a mother will alter their life to feed their child in this way, I just ask for a little consideration for those of us around..... 

I'm sorry that you have been subjected to nasty looks, that's a sad case and I know makes your positive descion more tedious...... Please do continue to feed your child.... again I applaud you! you sound like a wonderful person that takes all factors into consideration!
