mrGuy 0 #51 November 17, 2006 It has nothing to do with "American" views on breasts... It has to do with common descretion. I mean, lets face it, nobody is arguing that it's not natural or normal to breast feed. Even in public it's fine...but some, like me, never want to see it. Just like I don't want to see you peeing at the park..or some fat guy in a grape smuggler at the beach. so cover up. (unless you're hot...which breastfeeders in public never are!) Just kidding about that..I don't want to see it even if they are hot. (which they never are) The above statement regarding not-hot...it's a joke! If you don't think it's funny...not my problem. I just saw on the news a bunch of mothers doing a sit-in breast feeding thing for the cameras...ALL UN-HOT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been a long time since I've seen a new parent who didn't have a huge freaking bag of blankets, towels, spit-up-rags, and all manner of other crap that could be used to keep it discreet. Seems only polite to me to at least keep it on the down-low in a public place.

God, it would've made my life so much easier! But my son needed lots of room to stretch out and no shirts, blankets, towels, whatever even near his face.

And I even bought a special cover up so I could nurse in public when I needed to, however, he hated it. I remember one time I was at California Pizza Kitchen having dinner with my family. The baby got hungry and was crying with the blanket over him. I went to the bathroom so I could nurse him without the blanket. I remember sitting there on the toilet feeding my son. I felt horrible. Toilets were flushing, people were pissing and I definitely wouldn't want to eat my dinner in there. I went back to the table and nursed Willem. I didn't use a blanket because he protested but you couldn't see my breast. I had a nursing bra on and my shirt pretty much covered everything else. Going to the bathroom is not always an option. This isn't directed at you at all as I know you did nurse your babies, but it seems that it's mostly men and women who never breastfed who have the biggest issues with it. I could care if a woman nurses her baby or gives her baby formula. That's not my business. What's good for one person isn't good for someone else. I don't condemn anyone's choice, just don't condemn mine.
