When you're a mother and your baby needs feeding, you feed it. No matter where you are or how you do it. And if that's not clear, then yes I have.

Yes I did.

Natural to breast feed your baby.

Should do it.

Some can't.

Some won't.

Their perogative.

Shouldn't be persecuted.

Well done to those who can/do.

I always did... fuck the begrudgers.. But in saying that, I had my 3rd child in Australia and found it much more comfortable and accepting over there, no one batted an eyelid! It is the most natural thing but its every woman's prerogative to do it or not. Mind u I saved a fortune on formula and bottles!

Of course all my 3 boys. Of course I didn't expose the breast

It's the best way to feed our babies, giving them all the nutrition they need, especially for first 6 months.

And it's a myth that women who breastfed babies have their breast in bad condition. Mine are perfect made by Mother Nature

Never breast fed. Saw someone struggle as a teenager and totally put me off.

That being said I absolutely defend a mother's and baby's right to feed in public. Maybe if I'd seen it more I wouldn't have been so closed to it.

Here's one for you. We took our first trip out this week. Sat outside a busy coffee shop with a very large outdoor area, beautiful day. Mrs is feeding and on two occasions men sat at the table next to us. Both looked a little embarresed and one asked said he would move if we would like privacy. Very respectful from any guy passing or sitting.

The issuse started with two females in there 30's who sat beside us, eyed us up and down and both preceeded to smoke. Every so often looking over as if to say wtf are you going to do about it. Thankfully we were just about to leave but I was pretty surprised I gotta say.

"Benefits of breastfeeding for your child are enormous. Ireland has one of the world's lowest breastfeeding rates. I wonder why that is? "

Catholic shame still ingrained in this country I think . I know people who wouldn’t breastfeed because they thought it was disgusting. I did breastfeed , but never in public because of a difficulty I had which I won’t go into . But it meant I mostly did it in the privacy of my own home , and pumped the rest of the time .

My first grandchild was born a few weeks ago. They live outside Ireland. Baby being breast fed. I visited for a few days. God although my 3 lads were breastfed it's incredible how you forget how tough it was feeding a baby every 2 hours. The parents were in bits/exausted.

Yep, and when it's not the first child you also have other kids to care for. It's tough going and I don't blame anyone who decides it's not for them.

What's natural is wonderful. I was breast fed.. my mother told me all about it a few years ago. I think, in Ireland, we have adopted an American prudishness about it. In France there are very explicit ads on posters and TV encourageing women to breastfeed. You see it everywhere in African countries.

No one exposing the breasts when breastfeed the babies.

Im from Poland and breastfeeding the baby is very popular and even midwives force women to do so for the children's benefits.

I have been travel around the world too and didn't see the issue with the women who breastfed their babies. Please stop saying nonsense. We don't talk about exposing the breast. OP had asked the question and all of us who breastfed babies confirmed it.

Have a nice day!

PS If breastfeeding the babies is disgusting for you (there is zero sexuality in this from my point of view) so I think this website is not for you as all of ppl there exposing themselves

Well before pumps or formula, it was the only way really. Perfectly natural and both my kids were. Correctly suitable clothing or a small blanket prevents any embarrassment in public, though I don't think there should be a worry about it.

Some can't, for various reasons and I would never admonish them for that. It's the woman's preference, though obviously, if you can, do.

Many benefits, outlined elsewhere.

Very interesting to see what Trump government tried pulling the other day against EU nations, because of commercial interests of breast formula manufacturers. I suspect that may be what raised the OP curiosity about the topic.

Contrary to popular opinion, women don't usually feed their babies to show off their breasts. A little towel over the shoulder or even a t-shirt that can be lifted up is usually all it takes. It's not about hiding it, it's about feeding your baby with the least amount of hassle. I have fed mine in a variety of places, pubs, hotels, churches, even at the side of the road when out walking my baby. You do what needs to be done, you don't think about whether it's bothering anyone or even titillating them. How other people react is not your problem, you're just feeding your baby.

There certainly is, what I used to call the breastfeeding mafia, implying that only an unfit mother would bottlefeed. Same as those who sniff about women having epidurals or sections - competitive motherhood. The objective is a healthy child raised by a healthy mother, some seem to lose sight of that.

"I tried to breastfeed my firstborn and it wasn’t a runner .... I felt a failure as a mother and bottle fed my baby in the toilets of shopping centers as didn’t want anyone looking down at me not breastfeeding ...my issues I know but there’s a different side

There certainly is, what I used to call the breastfeeding mafia, implying that only an unfit mother would bottlefeed. Same as those who sniff about women having epidurals or sections - competitive motherhood. The objective is a healthy child raised by a healthy mother, some seem to lose sight of that.. Thank you xxx

It's tough enough being a new mother without that nonsense.. 100% and when we had our second I wasn’t even going to put myself under that pressure again so went straight for the bottle ... as you say it’s so tough mentally and physically and that’s more pressure put on a woman (was in my case can’t speak for everyone or I’ll be slaughtered)"

I'm sorry you were made to feel that way, that's just awful x

I think breastfeeding is simply amazing, completely natural and a great invention. It gives the baby everything he/she needs plus additional protection. Aren't tits great? And nearly all tits can do it no matter the size. additionally it saves you a lot of money, you don't have to sterilise bottles, no getting up in the middle of the night, you don't have to bring a battery of bottles with you when going somewhere etc etc. Finally I think it's simply a beautiful sight to see a mother breastfeeding. Anyone who feels uneasy by the sight of a breastfeeding mother, should just simply question himself/herself why that is so and maybe let us know. 'Bad manners' doesn't count as an argument because it's simply absurd.

Unfortunately with the wide availability of formula milk modern western society lost touch with the original purpose of tits and breastfeeding became unpopular, a trend that seems hard to reverse.

No I don't belong to the breastfeeding guerrilla/mafia, I would never regard a non breastfeeding mother as a lesser mum than anyone who does.

Again tits are fabulous!

Exactly. Agree totally.

For those that cannot for various reasons though, that's ok too. If you cannot, after trying, then no pressure and no guilt.

If you can not or if you will not, there should be no pressure and no guilt. Your baby, your choice.

That's enough of this discussion I think. If you can, do. If you can't, don't.

No pressure either way. As long as your baby is healthy, happy out.

Now I think that's enough of this discussion in Fab

A discussion where people are actually discussing and not throwing petty insults at each other should stop? It's a good job you're not a forum mod Mr, because as far as I'm concerned your judgement is off. If the topic is of no interest to you, don't read it, don't post on it, but don't tell others not to, that's not for you to decide.

Of course, as soon as I posted this I saw another thread where I posted last night saying I didn't see the need for such a thread. I'm all about the double standards it seems

Not often you see somebody admitting that they got something a little wrong. Everybody does it but few are big enough to admit it. Fair dues girl

You certainly have a point there, Sally. It seems a topic not everyone feels comfortable with and yet it's a quite civilised thread so far.

Anyhow in John case, I think he simply got scared by the thought of us all flashing our tits and tried to stop before he drowns in the booby sea.
