Teens: What is your view on breastfeeding in public?

We Answered:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
People are fine with strippers, hookers and girls flashing their chests in public, but as soon as something so lovely and natural as breastfeeding a child comes up, people say it's unacceptable. That makes absolutely no sense to me.

The easiest answer is to talk to them, go to their website, mail them, call them, meet them and help them.

Gladys Said:

Can anyone just proofread this? very short?

We Answered:

It's a good argument, but it's very repetitive at times and should be rewritten. If you would like me to help then shoot me an email. I'll be back on my computer in a few hours.

What is your view on breastfeeding in public?

We Answered:

I've never understood the argument against it. Alright, I understand people not wanting a woman to take her entire shirt off, flop everything in view, and feed her baby, but I've NEVER seen a breastfeeding mother do that. They all do it discretely with consideration of those around them. I think it's far more obscene when a woman is wearing tank tops and high shorts to be honest.

Having said that, I think that some consideration should be made for mothers who do use a blanket over their baby. Keep in mind that this isn't the 80's anymore, the blankets are made of muslim or lighter material that doesn't actually smother the baby but actually keeps them from being distracted (I asked a breastfeeder at the indoor park one time when she was feeding. She covers his face not because she wants to hide him feeding but because it encourages him to go to sleep and relax and stop looking around. She said she hardly can ever feed him in public because he's too distracted.) And you should look at some of the nursing bathrooms available. Sure some are disgusting, but I've been in many that have a sitting area with flowers, gentle music, and are separate from the bathrooms or sinks, quite nice. Again, for the babies who are distracted, or if you have a toddler as well and want to keep them close, this would be more ideal than being out in public.

Also keep in mind that women like me who had breastfeeding problems may never feel secure in feeding in public, and I know that breastfeeding raised an instinctual need to 'go to ground' in me, to hide and protect my baby while I was at my most vulnerable feeding them. I couldn't move once the baby latched on, I know some moms can, but I couldn't, so I had to be in a safe, secure, area.

Basically I've actually seen some moms say that we should be breastfeeding in public every chance we get to destigmatize it and force acceptance, and I just think there are instincts in some women that require a certain amount of privacy, and this shouldn't be seen as an insult towards feeding in public. And there are reasons to feed in privacy that have nothing to do with anything but a 4 month old who's pulling away and looking around while your milk squirts all over.... :P

Now, as far as men go, my husband was extremely protective of me and my children when they were newborns and he never would have felt comfortable with me breastfeeding in public. When asked to explain, he couldn't. It's not that he oversexualized my breasts, it had more to do with this instinctive need to guard us. Again, I have to wonder if some women, like myself, who feel the need to not feed in public because we feel vulnerable, also have counterparts in men who see us as more vulnerable and get stressed in a public atmosphere as opposed to a private secure location. Note, I know it's not that he was sexualizing my breasts because when I suggested feeding in the car where others could see he had no problem. The doors could be locked, and that made all the difference. And I do think some of the men who have issue feel like the women are more vulnerable than they are and feel responsible for their safety. It's a concern that is usually ignored in this argument.
