Poll: Breastfeeding in public

[Lord Kloo]

Well a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.. or something along those lines..

 

[trigz04]

Id just stare, if she doesn't want me doing a natural thing like staring then the can turn around or go somewhere else.

 

[Ris]

I'm NOT fine, however with babies in a restaurant, because apparently people don't know how to shut their kid up, and that it's ruining else's meals.

Oh god, I'm so with you on this. Frankly, if people have paid a lot of money to have a relaxing evening in a restaurant then you shouldn't be in there with your screaming baby in the first place.

I do mean "restaurant" not "fast food place" or "little cafe down the road" of course. Mum has to eat too xD

 

[Thimblefoot]

There are some places that have a screen that mothers can breastfeed behind, but in all honesty, I don't know why the wouldn't just take a bottle with them for the baby if they are going to a restaurant or somewhere where people can easily see you and can't go away.

Because not all women agree with bottle-feeding. I'm not a mother, but I already know that I will try very hard not to use a bottle to feed my baby until he/she is on formula. It's a bonding thing; it's also what my breasts are for in the first place.

I like the idea of a screen, though.

 

[lettucethesallad]

If it's done discretely I'm not bothered. But women who just whip out a tit because they feel they have a 'right' to do so seriously tick me off.

 

[Lawyer105]

I'm basically fine as well. It depends on the circumstances, I guess.

I'd be far more interested in doing something about people who seem to think it's fine to crawl all over each other (hands down pants etc.) in public areas (e.g. the London tube) than I am in something relatively discreet like breastfeeding under a blanket / cloth thingy.

I don't scratch my balls in public. It's just common courtesy. Nobody wants to see you doing anything like that. It's awkward.

I do (scratch my balls that is, not that much of a pervert). And what, feeding your child? Oh the horror of it!

OT: Its fine.

Considering the majority of people on here are 16ish-20ish, I'm surprised by how fucking uptight and conservative some of you guys can be.

breast feeding is as natural as taking a crap or peeing.

but we dont (normally) pee or poo in public do we?

if you do breast feed in public dont get offended if people stare.

They're her tits, she can do what she likes with them!

This forum does have a habbit of being extremely fucking prudish at times!

And taking a shit is just as natural as eating. And eating is what the baby is doing. And we all eat in public. I believe that's what you call a "logic smackdown".

Quite fucking ironic coming from a fucking gaming site where we spend our entire time arguing against the fucking prudish moral fucking guardians.

I hear (saying) fucking helps to relieve them of their sensitive nature.

 

[infohippie]

Wow, I'm honestly surprised so many people have a problem with it. It's perfectly natural, and I don't see why it makes anyone uncomfortable. They're just boobs and a baby. I also don't see why people feel the need to consciously look away. I mean, I wouldn't stare, but neither would I make a deliberate effort to avoid looking in that direction. I treat it just the same as someone scratching their ear, or taking a bite of food.

eating doesnt involve body fluids coming out of your body like poo and pee.

 

[The Lugz]

all you need is a bottle ( you should have one just in-case )
fill it with your own milk if you feel the need before you go somewhere
just a tiny bit of organisation makes this a non issue

why involve strangers in your personal bodily functions?
i don't pee in a cup in public, and if i did i'd probably get arrested!

And unless your eye is a centimetre away from her nipple when she's doing the feeding, you won't see any fluids. I doubt you'd even see it then, considering it only comes out when the baby actually gives it a suck. And in fact, with the baby's head in the way, what you see 95% of the time is slightly more cleavage than normal. Big fucking whoop.

and honestly, to the guys that voted yes because 'omg tits!' how-many women in your local town / supermarket / bus stop do you REALLY want to see flopping out a nipple to breastfeed now and then??

if a guy peeing in public is obscenity or indecent exposure or whatever then so is this, clearly
plan ahead.

Children of breast-feeding age (and this may come as a shock) don't regulate themselves to breakfast, lunch, tea and elevenses.

Sometimes, they will be caught short. You just sound disgruntled because you can't flop your cock out in public and piss wherever you want.

 

[Nouw]

Enlighten me, can they use a bottle or do they have to do it that way?

 

[yourverysilly]

anything to see tits out in public. Awesome. Titties.

 

[infohippie]

Can't? What's this "can't" nonsense? If I need to go, I need to go.

Haha, can't "with the permission of others around you" I should have said.
