Okay, so this seems like an odd one but I was listening to a discussion about breastfeeding in public on the radio and I was quite surprised by the attitudes of some people towards it.
By public, I mean in restaurants, in shopping centres and what have you.
A few questions to start discussion, inspired by some of the answers people gave on the radio regarding the topic:
Does it make you feel uncomfortable when you see a woman breastfeeding her child in a public area? If so, does it always make you uncomfortable or is it okay provided that her breasts are completely covered?
Alternatively, do you just see it as something natural and non-sexual, something women should be free to do whenever and wherever they please?
Do you think that instead of possibly making people uncomfortable, women should have to go into private areas, such as bathrooms, to breastfeed?
Do you think that women who do so are exhibitionists? Should they just always have bottles prepared to feed their child when out and about?
You don't have to stick to these questions, I'm just interested in people's opinions on the subject in general.
