Let me see if I can help you understand. Let's say you're at some public place, I dunno, pick one. The baby is hungry, and you need to feed her. If there's not a private area around, what are you supposed to do? Feed her in the bathroom sitting on a toliet stall? Do you eat in the toilet? Sometimes situations just warrant that the baby needs to eat and you need to feed it. It would be nice if there were private areas in all public places, but there aren't. Make sense now?
Until you can explain why you want to share that with an audience you have no merit at all. Change my mind. Hook me up with some knowledge.
Jennifer I am not having a problem with breastfeeding in public. My point is why do it uncovered. Since you will have a baby bag anyway you know there is room for a feeding garment. What would possess you to not coverup when feeding? These are the answers I am seeking. I have no problems feeding the baby in public. See now I am repeating myself.
It's not about wanting or having the desire to "show it". It's a natural act that was intended. I doubt that when a mother is feeding the baby she has SEX on her mind. Please....:roll: And if ya don't want to see it, AVERT YOUR EYES. The woman is not in every corner of the area your in......DON'T LOOK. If that is the case, if your a man, stay away form booby bars!!!!!!!!
When a little baby is hungry, the faster you feed them the better. If you don't feed them pretty fast, you land up with a screaming baby who is too upset to eat. Would that make you happier? (not that that will change my decision.) You obviously have never been in that situation or you wouldn't have to ask. I would rather feed my child (when they were babies) in private. But, when in public, there's not often an appropriate private place to do it or if there is, it's far away (like my car). If I could, I would go in private-my preferance. However, I will stand up any day for the right of a woman to make the best decision for herself and her baby about where to feed them-in public or in private. It's not your place or my place to tell a woman she has to feed her baby in private or in public. Just don't look if you don't like it, as many besides myself have told you.
Oh... Well.....it might help if I read the whole thread huh? I think you should cover up the best you can, and if your baby wiggles alot, you should use a nursing bra and a button up shirt.
And just WHEN have you seen a woman flop out her WHOLE breast? She'd have to remove her shirt completely. AND the baby's HEAD is in the way of sight. Sorry, but you have no argument......
Everyone here has been trying to give you knowlegde. If you can't see that, then reread this whole thread. By the way, where is the spell check on here? I make too many typos!
Well so far the two that are on soap boxes can't read. They keep saying the same thing over and over again and have not backed up thier answers yet. All they keep saying is the baby is hungry. Not why they are not covering up. I am seeing a pattern here. To busy thinking I am attacking the act instead of taking time to realize I am actually cool with the act. I am just not cool with you not covering up. Do I need to dumb it down more that that? Can anyone translate that? Clif where are you???
Ree, just ignore him. He is just looking for attention, and really has no desire to carry on a thoughtful debate regarding NIP. And SS, I NIP because my baby is hungry. I sit and feed her wherever I am and I don't give a dam. It's your issue, not mine. Benches at the zoo, the bleachers at Morgan's gymnastics, El Cerro, the mexican restaurant by Walmart, the chinese buffet by Walmart, Golden Corral, Ruby Tuesdays, BJ's, Moes, Dick's, the Renaissance Faire.... Eh, the list goes on. Basically wherever I go. If she is hungry, I stop what I am doing and feed her just like you would give your baby a bottle. If you like, I could just let her scream, but I'm not into withholding from my child just cuz somebody has issues with breasfeeding.
...I will try on your level......SOME BABIES DON'T LIKE TO BE COVERED WHEN THEY EAT...it is not up to us guys to decide whether it is cool or not. The law states they can show the entire area when breast feeding. End of statement.
now now. I am very open. Why am I the one with a closed mind when I gave them an out to explain their answer?? I have explained mine several times. Am I the one who is not understanding?
Why don't you learn to read WITH comprehension. I have no issue with you feeding your child in public. It may be precious to you. But people just don't care to see. Unless it's another mom doing the same. and what the heck is breasfeeding?
