Quote From: mommaof1i hope the women who do breast feed in public do have courtesy to cover up, i don't think they should have to go to the restroom in the restaurant or at the park , JUST COVER UP not all wants to see your boob flopping in the wind, for me I did not breast feed, but if I were to, with my second child, I will be discreet about it. And as far as it is our rights to breast feed in public , YES it is , but the whole restaurant , or kids in the park don't have to see it, these women say , "look the other way" Everybody gets offended by something, and I know it is a natural thing, but have respect for others and just cover up, I had to change my sons diaper in a booth, once at a restaurant, gee guess what no one knew what i was doing. Again Please respect others and just cover up some skin
I agree with being discreet. I actually practiced in front of a mirror so that I could breastfeed without showing anything. I never once showed any more of my breast than what you would see if I were wearing a modest bathing suit. And yet, for some people here, it sounds like that's still not enough. The very fact that they *know* there is a baby suckling at the breast is enough to offend them.
As stated previously by many other women who have actually *experienced* breastfeeding a baby, not all babies tolerate being covered by a blanket. I don't know many adults who would want to eat their meals under a blanket, either. I never used a blanket but was still able to be discreet -- but again, if people knew what I was doing, they were offended by the very thought of it.
I have seen adults that belch at restaurants, have food hanging out their mouths, and are just plain disgusting -- but no one would tell them to go eat in the bathroom. Because they're adults, and we value the rights of adults more than the rights of babies. Sad.
