Quackers Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Haha, this thread is so funny.... some of you people have no idea!!! Your lack on knowledge and understanding of this are laughable... I breastfed my daughter for 13 months... anywhere she needed it! Very discretely indeed... people would often comment on my 'sleeping baby' and have no idea my baby was actually being fed!! Draping shawls and muslins only draws attention and there is no need to get your 'baps' out! The baby's head covers everything and there is noting more on show than there would be if I were wearing a low cut top. Seriously though, it seems that some people have a very strange view of a totally natural thing to do. You are right. I breastfed mine too and as you say, it went unnoticed. I think some of these uninformed people imagine you strip off to the waist at the restaurant table to breastfeed! Then there is the hypocrisy of those bleating about catching a slight glimpse of a bit of boob (well, if they will stare)- as you say - no different from wearing a low-cut top - yet opening their newspapers to look at naked boobs. Strange, isn't it?! If it was just opening the paper to see inappropriate pictures of woman that would be one thing but when they are on the front cover of the paper, at eye level with children that's another. I regularly have to guide my 7 year old son through the door of our local shop, past the newspapers, to stop him seeing an image that I find offensive and unneccesary on a front cover.

You're right. Front page pictures of David Cameron are pretty gruesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you. I think it's very sad that little children that age (and younger) see women portrayed as nothing more than a pair of (surgically enhanced) tits. Don't think I've ever noticed a magazine front featuring a vacuous looking man with a pout, in a suggestive pose with a huge dick in my local newsagents. (Think I would have noticed! hahaha) There's nothing wrong with porn but for gawd's sake stop shoving it in little kids' faces in the local newsagents. It's so tacky - and sad.

I think it's very sad that little children that age (and younger) see women portrayed as nothing more than a pair of (surgically enhanced) tits. So it is ok for women to pop them out in front of children in public for the purpose of beast feeding, but they should not be seen in photographs. Christs sake, make your mind up!!

Cambon Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 M&S has a feeding cubical opposite the ladies toilets but because it also has a changing facility in there it smells really bad just like the ladies loo if not worse its very cold too, if i was breastfeeding i wouldnt do it in there I totally agree, Miss Roo. But the ones I have seen (only a couple as they are womens areas), have been very well appointed. One had a 3 piece suite in it and a small child play area.

Breastfeeding is was breast are designed for, and breastfeeding is very different seeing a woman in a thong holding her breast with a tongue hanging out suggestively. As I said before,breastfeeding generally can be done discreetly with no need for anyone to even see a nipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Login Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 is very different seeing a woman in a thong holding her breast with a tongue hanging out suggestively. I think I may require photographic evience so I canmake a decision for myself based on the evidence before me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not how they are usually - they stink and are very uncomfortable... it is enough to knock you sick, sitting there for 20mins in the cold, smelly, uncomfortable cubicle!! I would much rather sit in M&S cafe with a nice drink and discreetly feed my baby in there (as I have many, MANY times!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, are you concerned about your son being offended? Of coure not, it is you who finds them offensive. Big deal if he sees a woman's blamps and realises that woman have tits. It is not polluting children's mind to have them recognise what adults bodies look like and understand what sex is. It's who we are. Though Gilly has a point about objectifying women. Don't think I've ever noticed a magazine front featuring a vacuous looking man with a pout, in a suggestive pose with a huge dick in my local newsagents. (Think I would have noticed! hahaha) Probably because it would be too embarrassing dropping the magazine on the shop counter to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarius Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I breast fed my child for over six months. In those days Boots had a reasonable room to breast or bottle feed in which has now been closed to make way for a consultation area. Tescos and Mothercare have rooms too - they smell bad! However the room at the ferry terminal is pleasant and my car made a very pleasant place to feed - push the seat back, stretch out and nurse my baby looking at the sea. Very relaxing. Women should be able to bottle or breast feed wherever is comfortable for them. I don't know anyone who " Flops" out the entire mammary in public - on the contrary the only way you would know most women are breastfeeding is if you stare at them for long enough and if this is what you are doing then it might be prudent to get a life!

Frankly, this is all or nothing really, just a puff in the greater scheme of life. Babies need to be be fed, so feed them. Anybody objecting should be embarassed themselves. That is all you need Juan, so back off from tying up draughtsmen and Tynwald time when there are far meatier issues around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
