Breastfeeding in public, fine or not?

[Deleted]

Breastfeeding is fine in public. Its natural. Who wants to bet that some of the people that do take issue were probably breast fed in public at some point in time.

I was one of the pre-made bottle fed morons, apparently i nigh bit my mother to pieces as a baby.

I REGRET NOTHING.

Perfectly fine as long as it does not disrupt any events/speeches. IE: In a movie theater. No one wants to hear a fucking thing except the movie. It's what people are paying to see.

If you want to watch a movie in silence, buy every ticket for that showing or don't go to the movie theatre.

I opted for the second. You're NEVER gonna get a silent audience; frankly a mother feeding her baby is just as much of a disturbance as the munchie rustling, drink slurping, phone going off (and there's always one!) and other background whispering.

Sorry OT I know but I fucking can't stand cinema audiences, ruin every movie I want to go see

Hmm am i the only one who even though dont care about breastfeed in public i actually care why you got a breastfeeding baby outside were germs and virus fly around instead of being at home protected in a clean place?. I mean if you kid is so young in age to breastfeed shouldnt you protect it? as far as i heard breastfeed helps the baby immune system to evolve which means it still not ready to come in contanct with outside threats.Well im a man and not a doctor i might be wrong though.

Only people that take issue with it are prudes...

It's a natural thing, and there's absolutely no reason to be ashamed of it.

So by that logic, I can throw my wife on the table in a restaurant and bang her till she cries? I mean it's a Natural thing. IT's Reproduction.... So is taking a dump.

Personally I could care less if they breast feed but they also have ZERO right to complain if I stare.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

It is actually. The fact of the matter is that if you take the nipple and surrounding area out of the equation, most breasts look basically exactly the same, apart from size obviously. But when it comes to this area, it can be very, VERY unattractive on some women. I'm afraid if you're not attractive then I have absolutely no interest in seeing that stuff, as I said, it's exactly like how women never want to see any dick apart from when it's attached to someone attractive/they're attracted to.

So I guess all those ugglies should stay in their homes and get their food/supplies ordered to them?

Comparing breasts to dick, rofl. The breasts are there for feeding, a penis is not.

Look, come on, I'm just drawing the comparison so that you can understand the discomfort that is felt. You don't want to see my dick, I don't want to see your breasts. Why is that bizarre? Just because they are for different things?

Eh, what the hell? You think someone should never leave their home because of germs/virus?

So don't look.

Lmao wellllllll.....

[Deleted]

Don't look at it then.

TERRIBLE argument. If I want to pee in public then, that's allowed? You don't have to watch.

Apples to oranges.

If you would like to make a valid comparison, you're allowed to eat in public just like the baby.

Here comes the stupid comparisons. Peeing in the public is unsanitary.

[Vhoosh]

The screaming sound the baby would otherwise make would probably be even more annoying.

Oh I know that the crying would be worse. I'm just saying maybe take the baby out into the lobby while feeding.

I don't agree. A screeching baby is much worse than eating noises. Plus I would guess the surround sound isn;t great for the babies ears etc..

How the hell is that what I said? I just said if you're unattractive, don't strip in front of me. What is wrong with that?

[MetroStratics]

Depends on how attractive the women is.
Its not something that needs to happen in public, so if it does, it better be a perk for the people watching.

I'm not a doctor either but as I understand it it's beneficial for your infant to be subjected to background levels of germs so that its immune system is able to develop. Playing in the mud etc. is good; keep them in too sterile conditions and they are more likely to develop allergies etc. as the development of their immune system is stunted. I'm not a doctor either, this is just "as I understood it"...

I absolutely have an issue with it. Rather the woman likes it or not she is exposing herself in public. Its the one time that exposing yourself in public is supposed to be totally acceptable, but I just don't believe that. If you want to breast feed and you are in public than go to the restroom... its not that hard. You could also bring a bottle (even if it is pumped breast milk). I really don't want to see that. You chose to have the kid, I didn't, you deal with it!

[Deleted]

Well that would give me a boner....

"Seriously why can't we have sex in puplic too then? Sex is a natural thing too no?"

Its like drugs you allow one type and the community begs for another so yes I am against it just because what comes next?

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

Thats a lot different. health code violations... versus... feeding a baby.
