All good. They’re keeping a baby alive.

I’m More bothered about people who light up in public blowing cigarette smoke around.

Basically a lot of parents feel guilty that they didn't do the best things they know they should have for their children. They didn't breast feed, they smoked, they feed their kids a shite diet etc.

Those people represent the vast majority of those objecting to public breast feeding. They are projecting their guilt onto other people who are doing a better job than them.

When I bf my children, I did it wherever they needed to be fed, most of the time I ended up being when I was eating! I even bf one of my children in church, it’s a natural thing to do and people should not need to feel ashamed.

I refused to allow my children to eat in a toilet (the usual alternative to non-public feeding) therefore they were fed where they got hungry. Not one single person said anything to me. Either their feeding was discreet or my resting bitch face staved off comments, or a combination of both!

Anyone who thinks breast feeding in public is wrong should go and eat in a toilet. It's so easy to breast feed without showing a whole boob.

Ok please correct me. What are the reasonable and logical objections to public breast feeding that you find convincing?

And that's what's wrong today. No thought for anyone. I'm a parent. Look at me everyone. My child needs feeding. Right now. Look at me everyone. I'm going to do it in front of everyone. I don't care what they think or how they feel, or that I could easily do it in private like polite people do, and people used to in the past. I'm just going to do it here to prove a point.

As soon as I became a mother I used my breast for what they were made for to feed my child whenever and wherever she was hungry.

Its irrelevant though surely.

Show it or not show it- it's about the mum and the baby, no one else. People who accuse women of flaunting themselves should realise that it is them that are sexualising the natural way to feed!

Quite the reverse. I was feeding a hungry baby. They would look a darn sight more if the baby was howling the place down because it needed feeding!

It's never been about looking at me. It's always about the relationship between mother and baby- no one else.

And you have these clever covers that mean you can't see sweetheart- they are called eyelids. They are built in and mean you don't actually have to look! They even come on a clever rotating stand called a neck so you can turn your head away, and in extreme cases the elite version is mobile- they come with legs, so you can walk away! Ain't nature amazing. Sweetheart.

Breastfeeding in public is a big yes from me .

Why not ? It’s a food for a baby.

You can’t time it to feed at home only . When baby is hungry you just get on with it wherever and whenever.

I used to breastfeed my child until the age of 4.

It was very controversial as I don’t think UK public was educated about it 10 years ago.

I didn’t care as it was nothing to do with them but all to do with a health of my child .

I never follow a trend anyway !

So women should stay at home all of the time because baby might need feeding, in private

Spot on or for the men who bitch it's because you've taken that away how can they imagine there cock in between them when there's a baby's face attached to them and for the women who bitch it's because the women is trying to flirt with their men, it's a fucked up world.

I have no problem with it, most women are discreet.

The ones that want to make a big issue of it are a problem as they draw attention to it, get bad press and put the 'normal' women off.

There’s nothing offensive about a woman feeding her baby in public. In fact most women these days use a feeding cape !

What’s more offensive are people vaping and smoking around mother and baby !

I breastfed my son but i never did it in public...

Tbh though that was 13 yrs ago and if i had im guessing id have been told to cover up as i lived in a very conservative area at that time...

As a young mum, one of the worst feelings I ever had was when I got dirty looks from a couple in a restaurant after I had to resort to feeding my extremely jaundiced baby whilst sat at the table. I was very subtle and didn’t make a big show or fuss, but they still made it very obvious how disgusted they were.

Wish I could go back and tell them now what utter twats they were.

I’ve actually sat amongst family members who were breastfeeding and took ages to actually notice what they were doing.

Most women use a blanket or something along those lines when doing so, I think the majority of the time unless you really stop and stare then breastfeeding is almost unnoticeable.

Breastfeeding is natural and should be done whenever and wherever necessary.

That's what breasts are designed for.

Those who object have obviously not had to deal with a screaming hungry baby

I think any new mum gets subjected to so much judgement for what you should or shouldn’t do but I definitely think being young made me feel even more vulnerable to that. I mostly had a lot of positivity, but it sucks when that one negative experience stands out!

The point is, it does not matter what they could or could not see, or what they were subjected to.

Whatever it was, they were uncomfortable with it and it ruined their café/restaurant experience.

Why should they be subjected to that? Why are their rights less important that some woman with a child?

I breastfed both my children and on occasion, and by *necessity*, it had to be done in public. So what? I wasn't drawing attention to myself and certainly wasn't making a song and dance about it in a 'look at me' fashion

People who are offended by it should take a good long look at their sensibilities (assuming they can dredge up enough intelligence to do so). FFS there are 1001 other things going on in public which are genuinely revolting and/or unhygienic if you really need to vent your spleen about other people's behaviour ... dog owners who don't clear up their shit, people who spit on the pavement, d*unks throwing up everywhere, people peeing in doorways, etc etc. But the ignorant few get het up about a mother feeding her baby ??!!! ... a completely natural process which doesn't affect anyone else at all. Don't like it? ... don't bloody well look.

"Isn't it rotten that you subjected them to that too? They were clearly disgusted. They were in the café/restaurant as paying customers. Why should their experience be spoiled by your actions either?

It doesn't matter what they could or could not see? So they could could of heard that some cheeky cow was breastfeeding their baby in a room next door and still be in their right to complain and bitch how it spoiled their experience? Have I got that right?

Subjected them to what exactly? Possibly the slightest glimpse of a bare breast, if that? Guarantee I show more when I’m wearing a low cut dress but interesting that I don’t get

any complaints then...

The point is, it does not matter what they could or could not see, or what they were subjected to.

Whatever it was, they were uncomfortable with it and it ruined their café/restaurant experience.

Why should they be subjected to that? Why are their rights less important that some woman with a child?"

You're obviously trying to provoke a reaction, and keep coming back to stir the pot which says a heck of a lot more about you than anything - for fucks sake you're "apparently" an "intelligent" 44 year old man, not a fucking juvenile teenager!!

Either way you've just provided a great filter for most I would imagine.

Have I missed something, who are ‘they’?

Has anyone ever been offended - surely not?

Because the right to feed your child is enshrined in law.

Personally I am

All for breastfeeding & support any1 else that does it.

My son was premature so I expressed while he was in hospital , he even got donor milk too, then the bottle after a while.

As long as the little kiddies are getting fed,does it even matter?

People who are offended by it should take a good long look at their sensibilities (assuming they can dredge up enough intelligence to do so). FFS there are 1001 other things going on in public which are genuinely revolting and/or unhygienic if you really need to vent your spleen about other people's behaviour ... dog owners who don't clear up their shit, people who spit on the pavement, d*unks throwing up everywhere, people peeing in doorways, etc etc. But the ignorant few get het up about a mother feeding her baby ??!!! ... a completely natural process which doesn't affect anyone else at all. Don't like it? ... don't bloody well look.

So don't do it in front of people in a busy café/restaurant, and they don't have to look away purposely."

And that's what's wrong today. No thought for anyone. I'm a cafe customer ready to be offended at things that are none of my business. Look at me everyone. I’m eating my lunch. Right now. Look at me everyone. I'm going to do it in front of everyone. I don't care what they think or how they feel, or that I could easily do it in private like polite people do, and people used to in the past. I'm just going to do it here to prove a point.

Ah, so you find a baby needing feeding to be unnecessary.

I think you’d actually struggle to find a restaurant or cafe these days that would ask a woman to leave if she was breastfeeding.

So your list of none family friendly places must be quite small

I breast fed all my children and didn't hesitate in doing so in public. The first time I went to use the baby change/feed area; it stank of nappies and there was no way I was feeding in there. I never got any snide comments or looks knowingly but I'd have embarrassing them for it if they dared.

The woman years back that made the tabloids for feeding her baby in a swimming pool, I never really quite got that and thought she was in the wrong there.

I don't think I've ever read such a load of bigoted shite on here and that's saying something. You do understand, surely, that it's not actually *normal* to sit staring at anyone in a cafe, whether they're breastfeeding or not. It's hardly difficult therefore to avert your eyes from a mother and baby and mind your own business. As breastfeeding mothers are protected in law and do have to leave the house sometimes I suggest that perhaps *you* should avoid busy cafes and the like just in case your snowflake sensibilities are mortally offended because I'm damn sure that the majority of other customers in there will be indifferent to it.

It wasn't about anyone else and I didn't care what other people thought.

I can understand why some new mums lacking confidence perceive it as daunting.

And that's what's wrong today. No thought for anyone. I'm a parent. Look at me everyone. My child needs feeding. Right now. Look at me everyone. I'm going to do it in front of everyone.

Quite the reverse. I was feeding a hungry baby. They would look a darn sight more if the baby was howling the place down because it needed feeding!

It's never been about looking at me. It's always about the relationship between mother and baby- no one else.

And you have these clever covers that mean you can't see sweetheart- they are called eyelids. They are built in and mean you don't actually have to look! They even come on a clever rotating stand called a neck so you can turn your head away, and in extreme cases the elite version is mobile- they come with legs, so you can walk away! Ain't nature amazing. Sweetheart."

I still am a proud breastfeeding Mummy- and he is two. He rarely asks for it now unless it’s bed time- but if he did I would whip out his food as soon as he asked.

I’m sorry- but I wouldn’t give two hoots whether an adult became upset. They are the one with a problem.

My breasts were actually made for him- nothing more- nothing less.

People don’t get upset at seeing adverts for bras or boob jobs- yet more is probably on show. AND the boob is being used to advertise with sex.

People don’t get upset when they see men with their whole chest out- nipple and all.

I might ( without intending to) briefly show some nipple as he relatches- or I might have to have my breast up over my bra if I’ve stupidly worn the wrong one- but again that’s no different to a woman wearing a push up bra.

I could rant at the ijiot above all night. But I’m not going to. I have a son to feed goodnight. My role as a mother continues and I am very proud

I bottled fed all my three and do you know why? Why stupid bloody comment from my pikey ex mother in law was all it took, I was all set to breastfeed as that’s what mothers do, I happened to mention this to her and she said to me ‘you’re gonna ‘ave it ‘anging off your tit?’ And as a young ish pregnant woman who had never even held a baby that comment was all it took, I ‘tried’ with my first but always had that comment in the back of my mind.

‘If’ Ads and I had a baby now things would be very very different,

I have a mother in law that supports me now for a start!

On a side note: the answer to your question op, I’ve seen probably 2 mothers bf their babies in public over my life time and while the first time I was intitally a bit like ‘oh my’ (the above comment ringing in my ears), ultimately mummy was just doing what mummies do and feed their baby, that said I’ve probably ‘seen’ a whole lot more but haven’t noticed because it’s normal.

People don't bat an eyelid to an animal feeding their young, so why a human... oh because society has sexualised the breast, instead of seeing it as the purpose intended some see it as exploiting.

Having fed four children. I have spend more than 10 years feeding my children and have openly fed them until 2 in public. Most women fed discretely your be surprised that most of the time it looks like you are just cuddling them. Until they get to around 4 months and get nosy lol.

I am glad that my children see it as the norm. I have teenage sons they have seen me feed their sister and to them that’s how you feed a baby, toddler.

Yes breasts are sexual but their biggest gift is to nourish a baby and I always smile when I see a lady feeding a baby, to me there isn’t a more beautiful sight.

" Why are their rights less important that some woman with a child?

As a grown adult I’d happily but a babies right to be fed naturally above my own right to feel offended.

Well many people would not.

You’re totally right, but as a society, I think this thread proves they are in the minority.

Would you have an issue with a woman breastfeeding in a restaurant or cafe whilst you were in there?

I find it un-necessary, and I simply avoid family friendly places.

You should avoid all people

I avoid the types that I don't like.

I don't know what that says about the type you do like

"I breastfed both my children and on occasion, and by *necessity*, it had to be done in public. So what? I wasn't drawing attention to myself and certainly wasn't making a song and dance about it in a 'look at me' fashion

People who are offended by it should take a good long look at their sensibilities (assuming they can dredge up enough intelligence to do so). FFS there are 1001 other things going on in public which are genuinely revolting and/or unhygienic if you really need to vent your spleen about other people's behaviour ... dog owners who don't clear up their shit, people who spit on the pavement, d*unks throwing up everywhere, people peeing in doorways, etc etc. But the ignorant few get het up about a mother feeding her baby ??!!! ... a completely natural process which doesn't affect anyone else at all. Don't like it? ... don't bloody well look.

So don't do it in front of people in a busy café/restaurant, and they don't have to look away purposely.

I don't think I've ever read such a load of bigoted shite on here and that's saying something. You do understand, surely, that it's not actually *normal* to sit staring at anyone in a cafe, whether they're breastfeeding or not. It's hardly difficult therefore to avert your eyes from a mother and baby and mind your own business. As breastfeeding mothers are protected in law and do have to leave the house sometimes I suggest that perhaps *you* should avoid busy cafes and the like just in case your snowflake sensibilities are mortally offended because I'm damn sure that the majority of other customers in there will be indifferent to it.

It's not snowflake. It's just bad manners to do it in public. The law and manners are not equivalent.

Luckily family friendly places and smart restaurants are almost without exception, mutually exclusive."

If you saw someone breastfeeding in public what would you do? Would you say something to her?

Yep. Breasts were feeding babies long long before they were sexualised. I actually believe the reason *some* men get so upset at public breastfeeding is because they don't like to be reminded of their primary purpose. It's like they're throwing a hissy fit because what some see as *their* playthings are temporarily out of action!

So as most places don’t have dedicated baby changing facilities, you find it more appropriate for a woman to go into the toilets to feed her baby, than discreetly out in the seating area? "

No way have I ever sat in a loo or even a baby change area. If my baby needed feeding I would do it in a cafe where I could relax and have a drink too. I can’t believe people still have such an issue with people doing the most natural thing in the world.

I respect people however the choose to feed their baby but I find it so sad that some people judge others so much. I have friends who have bottle fed and felt judgement for bottle feeding.

We need to change attitudes and give lots of support.

Yours like the majority of posts here are totally correct. I have three family members that have had babies over the last few years one of which was adamant she would bottle feed and another that was determined to breast feed. Neither of them was given any grief on the decisions they made and I would never impose my view on a mothers chosen method of feeding her child and neither should anyone else.

As in a breastfeeding mum? She could pump or use a cover up but I have found those bring more attention that you are feeding. I always wore a vest and my top on top and you would not see any of my breast apart a quick one second to latch on.

God knows. You'll note that I didn't tar *all* men who object to public breastfeeding with that particular theory but I do think there's some truth in it for some. The others? ... and women who don't like it. I accept that some people are naturally prudish and don't like what they see as unnecessary displays of flesh. Maybe some of those have also been influenced by religious guidelines along the same lines. And maybe a few people feel horribly embarrassed because of their upbringing (thus selfishly placing their issues above the needs of a baby). But then you go back to the sexualisation of breasts don't you. The fact that first and foremost they're seeing breasts as sexual things instead of simply flesh fulfilling an important function. Which is bonkers.

A mum breast feeding her baby is a beautiful sight. Perfectly natural.

I find a deep unhappiness comes over me when I see a mum desperately trying to hide the fact that she is feeding her baby. Saddens me that she should have to hide away.

I breast fed my boys but I did it rarely when I was out as trying to feed twins discreetly isn’t easy! But it’s totally and utterly natural and a beautiful thing to do. If I spot a Mum feeding, it makes me smile and remember lovely memories.

Appreciate your point but as some of the "older" people on here we have no objections to a lady breast-feeding in public.

As the hub here puts it boobs are beautiful and a baby feeding off one is even more beautiful.

So we're prepared to guess that a lot of the objectors will fall in the more middle aged areas given FABs social make up.

I am not saying all older people take that view, but I think the people who do object tend to be older and they object because of the social values that were the norm when they were growing up.

Its over 30 years since i breast fed but i fed my children whenever they needed it and wherever we were. No way would i feed them in a toilet or nappy changing room, we wouldnt expect an adult to eat in such places. Its the most natural thing in the world to breast feed.

That's possible, but they'd also know the reason it's become socially acceptable is because of the overwhelming health benefits. Hence they probably feel guilty that they didn't do it. I also note the only objector on the thread is 44.

Because those "private times" might be as frequent as every 3 hours when the baby is young. It's not practical to expect to be in a private place every time they need feeding.

As an aside, my mother and all my three sisters dislike(d) seeing breastfeeding. They all breastfed.

One sister used religion as her reason, I didn't listen to everything she said, I switched off. The other sisters i don't know. My mother because of people staring, which is counter intuitive, the more it's done, the more normal it becomes, the less people stare.

I believe 81% of women breast feed. Would you assume the women objecting are predominantly from the 81% or the 19%?

Unlike some, I don't assume anything. I asked for proof, evidence to back your opinion, as you stated it like it was fact.

Ok you are scared to use your powers of reasoning. I'm not. "

Laughing! Whatever.

"Basically a lot of parents feel guilty that they didn't do the best things they know they should have for their children. They didn't breast feed, they smoked, they feed their kids a shite diet etc.

Those people represent the vast majority of those objecting to public breast feeding. They are projecting their guilt onto other people who are doing a better job than them.

How do you know that?

Occam's razor. If you have a more rational explanation then I'm open to hear it? This thread has not produced a single rational based objection yet though.

You have put forward one possible explanation and I have put forward another two. The only empirical evidence we have is one 44 year old bloke. I don't see how we can possibly draw any firn conclusions from that.

"I breastfed both my children and on occasion, and by *necessity*, it had to be done in public. So what? I wasn't drawing attention to myself and certainly wasn't making a song and dance about it in a 'look at me' fashion

People who are offended by it should take a good long look at their sensibilities (assuming they can dredge up enough intelligence to do so). FFS there are 1001 other things going on in public which are genuinely revolting and/or unhygienic if you really need to vent your spleen about other people's behaviour ... dog owners who don't clear up their shit, people who spit on the pavement, d*unks throwing up everywhere, people peeing in doorways, etc etc. But the ignorant few get het up about a mother feeding her baby ??!!! ... a completely natural process which doesn't affect anyone else at all. Don't like it? ... don't bloody well look.

So don't do it in front of people in a busy café/restaurant, and they don't have to look away purposely."

I’m not going into a toilet just because it makes people like you feel uncomfortable.

To be honest my knowledge of psychology doesn't go deep enough to comprehend hetrosexual men who don't like to see breasts. You've got me there.

"Ok please correct me. What are the reasonable and logical objections to public breast feeding that you find convincing?

1 and only 1... children should not be allowed out in public

Certainly not in First Class on the train from Monday night. Screaming small child - annoying. That is what Standard Class/Guard's van is for.

Luckily the Train Manager provided a bottle of wine as compensation without anything being said.

"

And did the bottle of wine work to stop the child screaming?

" As a male, public bf doesn't bother me in the slightest.

What I do find a little strange is that something that is so intimate and bonding between a mother and child would want to be shared with the public? I just think it's one of those very private times special to a mum & baby.

Because those "private times" might be as frequent as every 3 hours when the baby is young. It's not practical to expect to be in a private place every time they need feeding. "

Mother's always seemed to find a private place until 25 years ago. Surely if you know your baby is going to be hungry in 3 hours time then you wouldn't be sitting in Costa Coffee in 3 hrs time?

"I refused to allow my children to eat in a toilet (the usual alternative to non-public feeding) therefore they were fed where they got hungry. Not one single person said anything to me. Either their feeding was discreet or my resting bitch face staved off comments, or a combination of both!"

This! Totally...

I breast fed 2 of mine in public and never had an issue, in fact I was overwhelmed by the support and normality that was given by local cafes, library, church, doctors surgery, pubs and anywhere else I went. Most people don't have an issue, or don't even notice.

Unfortunately there are is a minority that do have an issue that are loud about it causing problems and there is also a minority of women who feel the need to flaunt it in everybodies faces. There are some women who just don't seem happy unless every person eating in the restaurant knows exactly what they're doing just so they can get upset on social media when someone else has the audacity to turn away. There are extremes on both sides which is why there is even a debate in the first place.

No, they are plastic, for safety on VTEC, so insufficiently hard to hit the child with!

Actually less women breast fed or had jobs for that matter. Is that how you prefer society?

In truth, breastfeeding with proper outfit choices is hardly noticeable. I would probably look away if I became aware but not for any particular reason except to not be looking.

Really can't understand what people are complaining about. From either side of the debate.

I say make it more acceptable. Fine public place that object or don’t allow it. Make people aware it’s best for the baby.

We need to be more tolerant as a nation not prudish. But hey the vast majority want the old times back

Not sure if I can share this but this is some historical pictures of women breastfeeding. Look at how normal it was and is.

I totally agree, I have 3 children my wife breast fed, it is beautifully natural and normal.

The world is forever changing, I'm just asking the question about mother & baby private time.

Babies have to feed when they are hungry.

The where is far less important than the child's welfare.

Correct. Women should have some decorum and do it in private."

I wish you had more decorum and kept your ignorance private. It offends me more than any breastfeeding mother could.

It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable but I just look in the opposite direction

I was out with my mum and dad and a woman was breastfeeding and she couldn't have made it any more obvious. Was like a big fuss and actually felt sorry for my dad a little bit. He's in his 70's and totally old school. I just thought my god can you not just do it normal instead of flapping them about. I think some woman think I'm doing this and I'm proud and I'm going to show everyone. Fair do's that you can but not everyone wants to see it x

I’m not saying that I find any of the arguments against breastfeeding in public convincing, but you’ve made absolutely unverifiable claims about other people’s reasons for objecting to it, based on unverifiable assumptions. It’s a little worrying that you can’t see the problem with your post, given what you’ve accused me of.

" Why are their rights less important that some woman with a child?

As a grown adult I’d happily but a babies right to be fed naturally above my own right to feel offended.

Well many people would not.

Tough titty "

Nicely put

My daughter breastfeeds her baby in public shes very quick getting him on and off no1 bats an eyelid . Nothing offensive about it ! Clearly op is in the minority here .
