It's natural but I do think it should be done discreetly.

It's quite easy to breast feed without people even knowing. If a woman wanted to breast feed in public I would encourage her. I can't think of any objections to it.

It's always a subject that gets quite heated elsewhere.

I fed my second child for 18 months and never encountered any negativity thankfully. And I did feed wherever was safe and comfortable.

In my experience people preferred a quiet feeding baby to a screaming hungry one.

First child, I started to use the baby change/feed areas, but they are grim and smell awful, so that didn't last long before I'd continue to sit with my family and breast feed.

I think it does all come down to time and place, these women that kick up a stink about being kicked out of a swimming pool for breastfeeding on the side do nothing to further the cause of breastfeeding becoming more acceptable.

Most people can do it discretely. There's no need to expose half your body to feed your child. I had three but could only breastfeed two due to my son having an umbilical hernia.

It's more painful than it looks at times too. It's not always an easy option.

I could have my baby at my breast with one hand and eat a McChicken sandwich with my other hand, nobody even noticed. Alright she might have had some seeds and lettuce dropped on her head but she's fine!

Wish I had been able too. I did try with my first but my anxiety was so high that I just couldn't relax. That made for a very stressed and painful few days. As soon as I gave her the bottle she was so hungry she took to it like a duck to water n my stress over breastfeeding went down completely.

With my second I gave her a bottle straight away.

Attention seeking women!

I have four grandsons under 18 months. I go out with my daughters and grandchildren and they come to me.

They carry a feeding "shield", basically a scarf with a hook that goes around their neck that covers the baby and protect their modesty whilst feeding.

Honestly, it really isn't difficult to feed a baby without all the hoo haa...but some just love drama!

Yeah I have seen babies physically fight those shields off and therefore show more off than they would usually

And this is a prime example of why some feel it an inappropriate activity to do in public. Childish over sexualisation of breasts.

Yes breasts can be sexual but not when feeding a child. Sadly some can't see the difference and just see breasts as a sexual thing.

If a woman wants to cover up then that's fine, but it's a shame some women feel they have to cover up so they don't upset a stranger.

Definitely this!

When baby is positioned and ready to latch you'd see nothing anyway, perhaps other than a sliver of skin.

I've seen more of women's boobs in low cut tops than I ever have on a mother breastfeeding.

It can be done discreetly. I have breastfed in public myself. I find more is on show when women wear very low cut tops.... But nobody moans about that, because it's sexualising rather than using them for what nature intended. Completely hypocritical imo

As adults we are entitled to differing opinions, no?

I've had three children all of whom I've breastfed in public without drawing attention to myself. If I and my generation were able to do it and my children without drama, I don't see the problem.

My daughters wear the scimpist of clothes at times but choose not to draw attention to themselves when breastfeeding.

In my opinion:

If a mother wants to breastfeed in public then she should;

If she wants to go somewhere more private then she should;

If she wants to be discreet and use a shawl then she should;

If she wants to be more open about it then she should.

I don't see it as upsetting strangers. Personally I didn't want to sexualise feeding my child. Reading some of the comments are prime examples of why I covered up.

I by no means would wish a baby to be fed in a toilet or nappy change area or baby fed area! You have totally miss read my comment. I would of loved to of been able to breast feed my daughters and I'd of done it proudly in public but in a discreet and polite manner.

It really does come down to the time and place..

Time: whenever your baby is hungry

Place: wherever the fuck you want

It's protected by law. It's against the law to tell a breastfeeding woman she can't feed her baby

I've had three children all of whom I've breastfed in public without drawing attention to myself. If I and my generation were able to do it and my children without drama, I don't see the problem.

My daughters wear the scimpist of clothes at times but choose not to draw attention to themselves when breastfeeding.

Explain "without drawing attention to myself?" I'm not sure I've ever seen a child feeding during the ceremonial feeding klaxon.

You put your own shame of your body above the needs of your child.

I don't need to explain anything!

People have differing opinions. Yours differ to mine, I wouldn't be so arrogant to ask you to justify yours, simply agree to disagree.

Somethings i can't ever agree on. Feeding hungry children to their comfort not yours is something i feel very strongly about. "

And their feeding necessity is being met albeit in a discrete manner that works for the mother in the environment she's in.

"You know what else can be pretty sexual, Mouths. Feeding scarves for all!

You really can't see anyone else's POV can you? The whole point of a forum is to discuss and debate.

My POV is that because mouths are used, sometimes as sexual orifices that people should cover their heads while eating.

Mouths are multi functional including breathing so it's a weak comparative....."

Breasts are multi functional including feeding children. Comparison stands.

"Attention seeking women!

I have four grandsons under 18 months. I go out with my daughters and grandchildren and they come to me.

They carry a feeding "shield", basically a scarf with a hook that goes around their neck that covers the baby and protect their modesty whilst feeding.

Honestly, it really isn't difficult to feed a baby without all the hoo haa...but some just love drama!"

I breastfed in public. Certain people (my brother) tried to make me feel uncomfortable with things like "look she's got her tits out again"

even though there was never actually anything on show, i covered the boob and not the baby.

If someone else has a problem with it, it's their problem, not mine. They shouldn't be staring at a stranger's tits anyway, feeding or not.

That said, there are certain pro-breastfeeding types who do more harm than good. Yes the baby being fed is the priority, no boobs shouldn't be seen as solely sexual... but the way some people go about things doesn't help at all.

Who cares where or how you chose to feed your baby.

We'll all have different opinions on it, just like we have different opinions on how to bring our kids up.

The main thing is that we as mum's are happy and that our babies/are happy. We shouldn't be criticising each other for the choices we make x

one of the most natural things.

Interesting that in my experience it seems people from older generations have the problem with feeding in public. I can only assume people are sexualising the process in some way, which just seems absurd.

Also, of course mothers can schedule it in a way that they are at home etc to do it, but why should they inconvenience their lives to cater for the issues and insecurities of strangers?

Yes you can be discreet, I was incredibly conscious with my first, I was only 22, all my friends (anti natal) bottle fed & it was still a much 'hidden subject' in public, I do remember the odd times feeling embarrassed if people looked over.

By the time 3 came along 11yrs later, it was so much more widely accepted.

But I do remember a few occasions where someone 'took offence' funnily enough, it was elderly men every time!

To be honest, so what if you don't want to be discreet? There are tribes in the amazon walking around butt naked all day and then men don't have perpetual boners over it. Anyone who has tried nudism knows nudity is seperate from sensuality.

I like tits. Tits turn me on. Babies don't turn me on. A babie on a tit is the arousal equivalent of shit around an arse.

Magazines, films, posters, billboards etc etc have women showing all and yet a natural thing as breastfeeding is apparently `disgusting'

It's a natural and perfectly acceptable thing to do. Well within the bounds of the law, which should be all that matters. We just need to get over the shock value that it currently has. The only way to do achieve that is for breastfeeding mothers to get out there, do it, and make it normal.

It's no different to women wear hardly any clothing. Someone will sexualise them; others won't take any notice.

I have breastfed my twins and my youngest, in public, whenever and wherever they were hungry. I never used a cover, but I was never "look at me, look at me" about it. I just fed my boys the best way I could. I can honestly say I only got negative reactions from other women. Some were pretty bloody horrible actually. It bugs me that people get so uptight about breastfeeding, I don't get preachy with mothers that bottle feed, I'm just happy that their babies are being fed. x

people can and do comment. Was out with my kids last week and a lady was feeding her baby. You couldnt see anything but a lady in her maybe early 30s was commenting to her friend about how disgusting it was.

My youngest (11) asked me why the lady thought it was disgusting as surely it was normal. So I said that it was obviously just her opinion but I couldn't say why she was offended...

In the past ive been asked to only feed in the toilets of some rather big shipping places. I refused and in one restaurant was actually told to use the toilets or leave. So i left ( after Id finished feeding)

"I find breast feeding in public really problematic as it has caused me brain damage - The number of times I received a smack around the head for staring by my ex wife...

I know you think this is a funny joke but actually I think it might be a statement of truth.

Yet again another example of why some think breastfeeding should be kept behind closed doors. What makes you think a woman feeding her child wants the likes of you gawping at her? "

"Debates been going on for years. Can't please everyone!

Personally I think to myself "lucky kid"

And this is a prime example of why some feel it an inappropriate activity to do in public. Childish over sexualisation of breasts.

Yes breasts can be sexual but not when feeding a child. Sadly some can't see the difference and just see breasts as a sexual thing. "

"I used to do it out and about but you couldn't really notice cos I had this really cool shawl thing that covered us."

Been said before, but we don't eat with our heads under shawls, muslin squares, blankets....why should babies??

I managed to feed without lobbing my tit out and offending everyone....not that feeding a baby is offensive.

Everyone is soooo offended. God

I found I was able to breastfeed without showing any boob by having baby's head covering my modesty, then a loose top would cover the rest. I was not aware of anybody batting an eyelid, and I never felt uncomfortable. Certainly my view was that my breast ceased to be sexual in that situation.

I do remember once we sat opposite a couple on the train with a new born baby. The woman was breast feeding, but it wasn't obvious. I smiled because it's always lovely to see a brand new baby. Then we forgot all about them as we talked to each other. After a while we realised that the father was glaring at us. I guess they found it an intrusion us sitting opposite a nursing mother. From our point of view we were paying no attention to the mother doing what we considered to be a perfectly normal activity, and I'm sorry we made her feel uncomfortable. It shouldn't be that way.

"Watched a programme about this and I was absolutely horrified at the amount of guys not women, who was mortified that a woman with a baby should breastfeed in public. I couldnt understand it.

These guys are the first to look at a young woman with her boobs pretty much on show or showing through a see through top.

Magazines, films, posters, billboards etc etc have women showing all and yet a natural thing as breastfeeding is apparently `disgusting'

No mother should ever ever feel ashamed of breastfeeding her child in public. Bring it on and lets embrace those mothers who want to give their baby the best start in life.

I don't know any men who object to seeing boobs in any place. "
.

I think you'll find every single woman who's found an objection on this thread in life has found it by another woman.

As I've always said nobody hates women more than women, they even teach there sons in their bad ways

It you can get your tits cause the baby us uncomfortable beinv hungry then why can't i get mine out when I'm uncomfortable in the heat or when my bra hurts? Society has a mixed up view about boobs. Yes their primary purpose is sexual (We are the only mammal that has permanent breasts so they can't be essential to breast feeding)but udity should not be seen as inherently sexual.

Mrs breastfed our son for first 6 months and in most cases got looks of "Well done you" if we were in a public place, shop etc.

We would always try to find a quiet seat etc.

Then you would get the occasional tutter and in one case a totally rude old man who took offence at it.

We were in an M & S store at the time and the Customer Services ladies were excellent at putting him straight.

There's always someone who bring up the discreetly word. Have you ever seen a woman do it indiscretely? Not one of us wants to sit there with our tits out in Costas.

Exactly! We don't slap out tits out on table for all to see....... "

i dont think it should matter... Its feeding a child.. not sexual. People shouldnt need to look.. if we stopped making it this huge thing and was seen as normal and perfectly acceptable then why would people feel the need to look.

Ive brought my kids up to not think twice about it but then the older ones will have remembered the fact at home id have not worried about feeding... and funny they arent embarrassed or make comment about anyone else breastfeeding either.

I'm all for it... it's great for the current and future health of the kids... some think the intelligence too... it's great for the NHS. .. saves the mum and dads money... it is without doubt the best food for a child... it's only corporate marketing that has persuaded the masses in the UK to go to formula... I believe the world health organisation advises to breast feed until the age of 4...

she gave up due to lack of support. You can express but most if they go to bottles decide to give up and go to formula. As you get downsides of both feeding methods if you express completely.

I had one that was a pain to feed as she had a pallete problem but i managed after searching for help myself. And I soon learnt how different it felt to have her latched on well x

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

If I ever have kids I will be breastfeeding them if I can and I will be doing it in public. Not going to stay in just to please twats who can't deal with the fact that breasts are for feeding babies and is completely natural.

For us it's simple.it's a Perfectly natural thing to do and we don't see why you shouldn't do it in public. We think it great when we see a mother feeding in public which unfortunately not many do now due to boreing old prudes complaining.

It's natural so get over it

New mums have got enough to be getting on with without worrying about other people's issues with seeing breastfeeding in public. I fed my babies in public, if i needed to, without a shawl to cover them, and to hell with negative opinions on whether I was discrete enough or not. No one ever said anything to me about it either, other than positive remarks. With my boobs being the size they are, I would be expected more comments but they didn't come, so it can't have been that obvious!

You can express, but it can takes a long time for sometimes a little amount, so it's not always worth it. My eldest refused to take a bottle so it wouldn't have worked for us.

"I was on a train in south London, sat reading, looked up and a woman get her breast fully out and started to feed her baby. At first it was a little awkward because I wasn't expecting it, but other than that there were no issues. "
Its not something I,ve experienced seeing but I,d feel just like what you said to start with other than that the same it states in our local surgery on a poster that women can breast feed in there regardless of what anyone thinks..

I am supporting breastfeeding in public . Mothers are feeding children . It's natural way . It's been done for centuries.

I refused to use breastfeeding rooms and was feeding my child out and about and on the go, on the plane, bus, train, library etc . I didn't care what other people thought as I knew I wasn't braking the law. I even expressed milk at work and had my own fridge to store breast milk. I breastfed until my child was nearly 4 years old so I don't understand why some people would object about breastfeeding in public places. It is a food for a child !

Adults eat sandwiches and pies on the street or public places so why babies can't drink milk ?!
