Nursing a baby in public

This is a serious topic.
Plz if you are a idiot, dont respond...

Let's be mature about this...

Ok, so what do you guys think about mothers nursing there babies in public? I am personally fine with it.

I cant believe that mothers can get in trouble for nursing in public.. Yet, women are aloud to walk around with there breasts hanging out, and they dont get in trouble? Women can walk around, with a see threw shirt on and they are fine, no one will say anything, but if a mother nursing her child on a public bench, even if the baby is covered with a blanket can get in trouble..

It seriously ***** me off...(when the mothers get in trouble)

I agree with you, nursing is part of nature, so what if people see a part of your breast...

It is caz the Porn industry wants women to be viewed as only sexual objects.

i see it all the time and most actually keep it covered so nobody could see anything but then in a way why nurse a baby in public when you could be at home and put the milk into a bottle and take it with you?

Two reasons.

Many mothers dont believe in bottle feeding.
and
IF our baby starts crying, and is hungry, ya dont really have a choice.

Uh, okay then.

Doesn't really bother me, I don't see how it can offend anyone. It might lead to perverts taking photographs while they're nursing.

No, the act doesnt make me mad, it's the people that get mad at the mothers for nursing in public.

but there are pumps to get the milk and then you can just fill the bottle, it doesn't mean you can't use formula. that's what all my aunts did

Yeah I agree, but still though, why should you not be able to feed your infant in public?

I know, I was simply agreeing with you and giving reasons why it might be a public offense

I was gunna say depends how hot she is, but i suppose that'd be deemed immature 4fs.

I have no problem with it. Unless shes like 60 or something. Then it's just nasty.

Doubt a grandma is gonna be nursing their child, let alone in public. And I doubt a 30 year old businessman will take his mother with him to work just so he can get his afternoon drink.

I don't really have a problem with it. It's a part of being a mother after all, isnt it?

In some rare cases, a woman can have a baby at 50-60.

I personally think the mother should find a bathroom, jeez, out in the open, that be quire embarrassing for the mother.

Lol, for me to have a conversation with you would be hard. We have very didn't views, and you obviously stand strong by yours, as do I. I say this to use your vegetarian choice as an example. You don't see meat eaters going around saying, he look at me, I eat meat! Do you?

Anyways on-topic, yes, find a bathroom. That's why there are nursing stations in both the mens and womens restrooms. The main contreversy with breastfeeding is the nipple being shown. Strippers on billboard show everything but that. I'm not sure the logic behind this, but for some reason, the government feels that the nipple is the only part that should be hidden. I've seen women breastfeeding in public and 9/10 times the whole breast was showing including the nipple until it was in the child's mouth.

So yes, find a bathroom. Like I said, you stand firm by your thoughts and beliefs (I assume) so I don't expect your thought process to change after all this, but that is my explanation.

So she has to go into a filthy public bathroom to feed her child, but strippers are aloud to be on huge billboards.

There are specific rooms near toilets intended for babycare.
