Breastfeeding in some public places?
I just read an article about how they want to stop mothers from breastfeeding in certain public places and like school events, libraries, play grounds public parks, and resterants. I thought this was a good idea cause I've always hated the idea of mothers breastfeeding in front of other children but I figured I would post this and see what others thought as well

What Girls & Guys Said
57 24why is there a law against it?
does it look disgusting?
is it sexual?
Most of us had sucked a boob for food when we were children so why should children not see what they did when they were younger? Is it going to scar them for life? Give them a boner? Become afraid of boobs? Like holy crap. Is a mother going to become rape target for feeding her child?
When I see mothers breast feed in public, it's nothing like the second link, it's more of a blanket over the child and boob when the child is breast feeding.
There is no law yet but they my pass one stopping mothers from doing it in public places where other children might see them and the reason why hope it passes is cause most mother have no shame and just let everything out for all to see as in the 2nd set of pictures and it teachs are small children that it's ok to be naked in public
There is no law against it. Most politicians are much smarter than that, it's just some idiots online that do that, but it will never get through, don't worry about it
Um, what about the little 1 year old girls wearing bikinis? What about the 10 year old girls wearing short shorts that have their ass hanging out? What about those really low cut tank tops that girls are wearing? Mothers breastfeeding in public is in no way of influencing kids that nudity in public is appropriate. I watched plenty of mothers breast feed in the park when I was an infant and that didn't teach me it was okay to be naked in public. What teaches me that it's okay to be "naked" in public is modern fashion influenced by nowadays big celebrities.
@izzy2102 the sad part is that your probably right
@dihydrogenmonoxide I have never in my life seen a 1 year old in a bikini so I can't comment on that but as for the girls in the short shorts they are still covered and not exposing them selves. No one can stop grown adults or people in general from wareing repealing clothing but one now matter how revealing some of can get they are still not exposing them selves but I also feel like that is wrong to do in front of small children but that can't be helped
From wareing revealing clothes
from wearing revealing clothes* okay, well fashion nowadays is all about being more revealing and so exposing that to small children influences them into that fashion because they grow up around it. Seeing a boob here and there in public isn't going to make them want to become naked the next day. I'm sure parents raise their children better than to become heavily influenced by petty things too easily. If a child takes that being naked is OKAY in public by just seeing a mother breastfeed her child, then that's pretty weak parenting that child's parents have.
I'm sure if you saw a child exposing themselves, someone will immediately discipline that child to keep their clothes on.
I can understand that it's disturbing to some people to see a woman openly have their boob hanging while breastfeeding in public. It's better to have a blanket over the child and mother. I've never seen a woman openly have their boob hanging out while breastfeeding, I've watched women cover their chest as well as the baby while breastfeeding in public. I think it should be some common sense to cover up while breastfeeding in public because it's well known that it can be disturbing to people so we should consider what others may feel by exposing ourselves before we attempt to.
If you put down on the table that you think it's a "fact" that children will think it's okay to be naked in public because they see mothers of babies having 1 boob exposed while breastfeeding, why don't you ask some children? Make a video, post it on YouTube with those children's permission to bring evidence to the table.
sorry, I meant those children's parents permission to film their child answering your question, "Do you think it's okay to be naked in public when you see mothers breastfeeding their babies?"
You're like... obsessed with breastfeeding, which is weird. You need to grow up. Babies need to eat, it's a natural thing.
Seriously...
And your both right I am obsessed but it to teach are younger generation to have more respect for them selves, others around them, and yea children who don't know any better
Or maybe we can teach them that breasts are over-sexualized and serve a purpose other than appealing to dudes.
@asker Are you a teacher? Are you a parent? I am just curious about those two things because in this post:
www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1085510-if-you-could-pic-a-favorite-part-of-your-body
You stated:
"Well from that small pic you do look like you have nice lips and boobies but can't see the legs"
So... apparently you have no issue checking out an internet chicks tits and attempting to netsweep here, however, in the case of breastfeeding in public you appear to have a different agenda.
Strange contradiction wouldn't you say?
@dirtydawg4424
To take it a step further, on top of your internet goobering of T&A. You also, in the past, advocating sex in public:
www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1041391-public-nudity-sex-i-find-that-there-is-a-fine-line-between-the-two
So, let's get this straight. You are all for internet checking a girl, you are all for sex in public, yet you aren't for breast feeding by a woman in public and have now made two posts about it.
You are either a troll or you truly have a serious mental deficiency of some sort. I am angling to the former.
@med11 what I do in public is of none of concern but because you brought it up I will I have never done anything that has done any harm to children and as to your 2nd yes I have 3 kids and I teach them to do all of the right things
@dirtydawg4424 So what you do in public is nobodies concern but a woman breastfeeding in public is a concern? Got it! You have "three kids"? Awesome man, I truly appreciate you making that admission. I can't tell you how appreciate I am for that forthright and direct answer. It really (truly) helps me quite a bit. Just remember, you brought it up and just remember, it is you who is saying these things publicly. In other words, you made the choice to act as you are acting and as a grown man of three kids that you "teach", your decisions are your own and what happens based on those decisions are equally your own responsibility. Thanks!
@med11 way to check out some history on this hypocrite. I'd say your last comment is end of discussion. He objectifies and disrespects women, thinks it's fine he traumatize children in public by having sex and yet women feeding their children should be against the law. He needs his balls cut off and to never be allowed around children again. He is going to make little girls think they should only be naked for men entertainment and tell boys that women should only be used for sex. God forbid boys know girls could be mothers some day.
I in think as long as the woman covers herself so she's not exposing anything, she should be able to feed her baby anywhere.
That's one of the problems they don't cover them selves any more

Shouldn't be any punishment but if anything just a small fine but it pisses me off how prudish our laws are. Our government seems like a bunch of prudish, immature children who are afraid of private parts. WTF is wrong with feeding your baby with your natural mammalian organs? There are too many laws and social stigmas again anything that is even remotely sexual and honestly I have no idea why. What is wrong with sexual organs? Or in this cases, mammary glands to feed your fucking child?
I don't have a problem with it if you're doing It behind closed doors in your home or if you put something up on your windows and doing it in your car or in a restrooms stall where smaller children can't see doing it
It's just a breast though... seriously dude. Like we are raised thinking it's such a terrible thing. Is a boob gonna put an eye out or something? I'm confused.
No it teachs are young children that it's ok to be naked in public look on my questions and you will see the first part of this question
I think that women should either excuse themselves to a private area or pump their milk into bottles before going out in public.
Thank you

Seriously, what is wrong with you?
Nothing is wrong just asking a simple question
And none of those would work as punishments
You're not exactly the brightest nipple in the bra. Didn't they teach you about sarcasm in camp crazy?
I know its sarcasm I just don't find anything funny about teaching are new generation to have some respect for them selves and others around them
You sound bitter. Didn't get breastfed today, eh?
Before I came to the US about three years ago, I didn't even know people who have an issue with mothers breastfeeding their child in public even exist, let alone that there are actual lobbies trying to outlaw it. It was one major WTF?-moment I had when I first heard of this
I love this country. I really really do. But this is one of those completely outrageous things that make a lot of people in other western countries shake their heads in disbelief at the US. And I hate to see people feel that way about you, because like I said, I really love this country.
And I won't even bother adressing the actual topic, because it is too moronic to be taken seriously, in my opinion. I still can't believe this even a legal debate. So instead, I only have one thing to say to all you anti public-breastfeeding people:
Calm your titties, will you.
It does present real problems
You're out of your mind. High unemployment and crime rates are real problems, not mothers feeding their children. You either have an extremely boring life that you feel the need to rant about petty things like this, or you are some extreme pseudo-moral fanatic who tries to impose his wacky beliefs onto everyone else. Either way, I'm not taking anything you have to say about this seriously.
I've seen some of the things that can happen with my own 2 eyes
Speak a human language to me please.
I speak clear English
That last sentence was not clear English. But it doesn't matter. Even if you make linguistic sense, it won't make any more sense of your ridiculous agenda. So please spare me your pathetic pseudo-morals. I've already had my daily dose of lunatics in the subway today.
Sad to say it's happening all over the UK too... completely boggles my mind... wtf indeed!
Well its a real issues that should be taken care of asap
Yes, you are right. Unemployment and crime are real issues that should be taken care of as soon as possible. Another real iusse that needs to be handled is lunatics like you. Maybe you wouldn't be such a wackjob if your mom properly breastfed you. And now please STFU.
If you don't like what I got to say then stop commenting on the issue at hand
If you don't like it when mothers feed their children then stop breeding.
I can't speak for others but I got 3 kids and I'm done
Poor kids.
Why you say poor kids they got a fantastic dad and 2 wonderful mothers and I have never taken a government hand out in my life or in their lives and they no they have to respect them selves and others around them
You misspelled "fantastic". The correct spelling is "fanatic".
I wouldn't mind it if you stopped commenting on my answer now.
Well if you make a comment on this topic that I feel like I have to respond too then I'm going to do just that if you don't like then don't comment
All I'm reading is yadda yadda.

@SandPlanet - I was curious where you came from, but your update tells me. :-)
@Red_Arrow: I'm not from the UK, if that's what you were thinking. Haha.
It was. Oh well, it was a reasonable guess.
So what are you going to do? Let the child starve? Or force mothers not to be able to run errands because the baby might get hungry and she won't be allowed to feed it? Or force mothers to go with the bottle/formula method even if that's not what they want to do? Like, no. Just no.
They make pumps that she could put the breast milk into bottles if she wants to go that route or she use a rest room or If get really bad you could through something up on the windows of your car and do in your car you don't have to be sitting on a park bench or in the middle of a reaterrant full kids or library full of kids
I'm not worried about kids. Kids haven't been conditioned yet to consider breasts to be "sexual" or "naughty". And breast feeding isn't whats going to enforce that conditioning. Victoria's Secret commercials and ads and the sex-saturated media is what's going to be doing that. You really want to make your point? Rant about the vulgarity of media. Don't condemn women for trying to feed their kids.
2 to 5 year olds aren't watching the media or looking in magazines or watching tv in less it's something like cartoon on nickalodeion or something
Well they sure as heck aren't going to care if they see a woman breastfeeding her baby at 2-5. They'll ask what that woman is doing, and their parents will tell them she's feeding her baby, and the kid will ponder this a while and then run off to play in the mud. Like, literally. That's how it goes.
No its not and if was that easy going do you think they would be trying to pass a law stopping them from doing it

I'm really not sure what the problem is with a mom breast feeding her child. Odds are those children have been breast fed themselves or have seen their parents naked many times over. I know that I have... Mother's tend to give up any reserve for the privacy of their bodies, because of their children. I'd be more concern if she was doing something sexual, but she's not... She's just feeding her kid.
I don't have a problem with a mother breastfeeding I just don't think it should be done in public in front of other people kids and if you do at home and want to teach your own kids about it I don't have a problem with that either
And what is so inappropriate about it?
Cause it teachs small children who don't know right from wrong that it's ok to be naked in public and I don't feel like that's the right thing to be a child
that is absolutely insane to honestly believe that. Young children run around naked regardless of who they have seen. You're really trying to place artificial reasoning over what already takes place naturally.
What are you talking about
Something that you cannot comprehend.
What ever you say
I'm not the only one saying it.
Your not saying anything that's why I don't know what your talking about
I clearly said something.
No you muttered something about young children running around naked weather they see a breastfeeding mom or not or at least that's what I got out of it but that's not true cause I got 12 nephew's 8 necies and not one of them have run in public naked or at home naked ever
well that's your family, not every kid is like yours.
I'm not saying that other people family are different but I would hard pressed to any mother or father would let there kids do that
how is that your business?
It's not I'm just saying that i find hard to believe that anyone would do that
That's because you were raised in America.
Yes I was
It's painfully obvious.
I'm proud to be a American
smh.
I don't think there is wrong about breastfeeding. But how they do it, can be discussable.
When baby cries and he is hungry, there is no solution. Mother goes for it wherever she is. It is natural act.
I think they still need to hold right doing in public places maybe more discrete way. There can be special cabinets, separated places, that they can use. It is not just about children. I also notice so weird people, who watch mothers. I don't like it at all.
Thank you for your opinion I appreciate it even though we have different out looks as to why it shouldn't be done in public
No problem. You are welcome.

There is something wrong with our society. We have fetishized female breats to the point that it's considered inapropriate to have then out. Breats were meant to breastfeed babies, society has sexualized them into something else.
And unfortunately many of us are brainwashed when it comes to boobs. I wouldn't care it a woman breastfed in public, there's no reason to focus her. I can always move my head around and look at something else and move on with my life.
And? i don't think it's even about sexualisation, but public decency. I don't really care about that though..
@carnix Dude, you are brainwashed. You just said boobs showing up in public is public indecency. Do you know why you're saying that? I know you do. It's a result of our society. I don't see any reason why someone gets bothered with boobs in public. Don't like it, don't stare at them. Just ignore them like they're meaningless. And I know for a fact you don't have problems with boobs showing (slipping off) when it comes to carnival times.
You can cause your a grown adult who knows that it's a natural thing to do but a small child wouldn't know that and doesn't know right from wrong would only see a naked women in public and think that is okay to be naked in public
@Asker - so at what age is it ok to see boobs. Since you are so hung up on children being scarred for life by boobs. So when they're are eating boobs are ok for them to look at but then they turn 3 years old and boobies are bad to look at. But then again at 13 years old boobies are ok again. You have some very serious issues with women. I bet you love strip clubs where you don't respect them women. Then outside of those doors you want women to act like Mother Teresa. How about we do what we want and when we want because we aren't hurting anyone.
When women breastfeed in public, they usually have a small towel that covers the baby's heard and her breast. Someone would have to get purposely close or purposely stare to notice the breast. And she wouldn't be naked. Seeing boobs and seeing a vagina is a whole different ball game. That child has also most likely seen his own mother's breasts on numerous occasions and would not flip out over seeing boobs in public. He would probably laugh and say, "Mommy, she has boobies just like you..." It's going to take more than an occasional breast glimpse in public to rotten the child's mind. And besides it's also the parents' job to instill some sort of maturity about the human body into their kids' minds. Make them understand that it's simply a natural human process. Children are not as dumb/gullible as you think, they can learn.
About they can learn and it is a lesson that should be learned at home by your own parents when they feel that the kid is old enough to understand. It should not be forced oppond by other before the child is complete able to graps why it ok for her to do it and not them
@turtleluv there is no age limit on seeing boobs that is up to the parents to decide if there kids are mature enough to see nakedness or not and between 3 and 5 kid don't know and better they hear something and repeat it and they see something and the think it's ok for them to do too. It's literally monkey see monkey do with kids that age maybe so where 6 and 8 they might be able to understand that it's a natural thing to do so that she can feed her kids and the yet realize that they can't be doing that them selves
I don't care about public decency... is there a reason I must? And no, because in my "society" we don't have much hang-ups about sexuality... most in my generation don't... And?
@asker then keep your kids away from nursing moms, it's a very simple solution that isn't restricting how a woman feeds her child. Girls see half naked women all over the place and dress like sluts I don't see you wanting to restrict that 'monkey-see-monkey-do' behavior that IS actually harmful. I repeat a woman feeding her child is normal and natural. Men that don't like it just don't like seeing a woman's boob that isn't for his entertainment. Nudity in public needs to become a norm so that there isn't so many body issues, especially with girls needing to be twigs with big boobs. Some states allow women to go around COMPLETELY topless, I bet you don't have a problem with that because it's for you to ogle and not a woman feeding her child.
lol... why do you have such an issue with sexuality? if men like boobs, who are you to say they cannot?
That is impossible to do and I do hope that they pass this law
@asker how is it impossible. Here's an example. There's a nursing mom at that bench let's go over to the bench on this side of the park. @carnix If you like boobs then stop trying prevent women from feeding their kids. I have issues with men that want women to dress like sluts OUT IN PUBLIC and stare at their boobs. But then have a double standards against women trying to be a mom. I have a problem with assholes who only see women as sex objects.
It's not as easy as walking to the other side of the park and sometimes there's more then one women doing it. It's a lot easier for a woman to decreatly walk in to a rest room or put somthing up on there windows of there car and do decreatly then for someone else to say oh she about to feed that we so we have leave now and run away
it's my right to like boobs... look if you hate sex, i don't care... tell it to somebody who DOES care...

Honestly, as long as some sort of attempt at direction is being made, I couldn't care less.
How many pregnant women do you see on a day to day basis anyways?
Id have a baby just to protest.
Not if the punishment where hard enough you wouldn't
Yes I would. Unless they were teargassing or shooting rubber bullets. Something that would hurt the baby lol
Before I start this I know that these punishment are ridiculous and completely off the wall crazy and that's why I'm asking for people opinions. If someone where to ask me this question I would say the first time someone was caught would be a 5000 dollars fine. The 2nd time would be 6 months of some type of hard labor like maybe cleaning all those unsanitary restrooms and temporary costudy lose of your kids to who ever you may choose to take care of them. The 3rd would be permanent costudy lose and mandatory jail time
I'd say first offense would be $100 Then $500 Then 30 days in jail That's just going by my state though and their typical bs.
That might work
I would suggest that for the "crime" of breastfeeding in public: 1st offense - three "atta girl"s. 2nd offense - public commendation. 3rd offense - a big bouquet of flowers.
Lol I don't know if you'd be praising her because you're pervy or because she's feeding her baby hahahahaha
Praising her for being a good mom and not worrying about pervy people like this questioner. I am pretty sure that many moms are more worried about condemnation from fools than they are about any part of her breast being seen.
Lol ok. I completely agree with you then @Red_Arrow
It totally fine for me but there are specific blouses and shirts that are for breastfeeding and even if you don't have the money to buy them a simple cover will do. Why do people have to think so nasty sometimes? BUT there are ladies that just let their boobs hang and show, they are exposing themselves. I think it's fine as long as the mother is covering herself appropriately and people stop thinking wrong of breastfeeding.
I don't have a problem with the act of breastfeeding cause it is a natural thing to do but as you pointed out most of these girls today just let them selves hang out in the open and then they think it's ok for them to do the same and that not cool
True but hey that's their stupid fault if someone tells them to cover up. Usually a woman breastfeeding who is covered up and trying not to bring attention to her self won't be attacked with comments. Like you said there are other woman who don't care and just let it all show which is stupid, THEY should be removed from where they are and cover up.

If the baby is hungry indeed, just give him the teat.

I think they should let women go shirtless like guys, I'd like to be around when that law takes place in the states. The laws make it seem like breats on women is a bad thing. I'd like to see all the nice perky boobs other women have. lol and so be it if there breats feeding
You only want women to go shirtless in public so that checking out random women's boobs in a sexual way is justified. Typical guy.
I would mind that myself but that's not the point here
true, fuck conservative norms...
The only reason boobs are as sexually looked at is because of the laws. If women had them hanging out all the time it wouldn't be sexually looked at. There are tribes of people who do this in other places in the world and it's not looked sad own on musicbrain5
You are 100 % right but until they changes thoss laws that how it's got be taught to others

I wish I could go around topless without being ogled. Or if I have to deal with perverted men I should be allowed to kick him in the balls so he stares at the ground for awhile. Boobs should never have been sexualized.
I highly support mothers who breast feed in public but I'm not going
judge someone else for having a different views on this matter cause
everyone is entitled to his /her own opinion and i believe breast feeding
a infant with another child (sibling) in view should not be a big fuss
made over it. What about you take kids to a farm park there lays the
mother pig breast feeding her babies the little kids say hey mommie
what is she doing with her babies yes children are inquisitive but
i do support it but not going to judge others against it
I understand that point of view to but we are not animal and everyone is in titled debut there points of view I'm just starting mine and appreciate you'res
Thank You

The United States as well as a crap ton of other countries love seeing tits. They like little bikinis and strip clubs and low cut shirts and Hooters and breast implants and ads with half naked women but god forbid they see a breast fulfilling its actual purpose, which is to nourish infants. When people see that they get extremely offended. That's the natural use of a breast. Sorry.
That's not the point I'm making but I do agree with you on that point of view
yes, and natural use is also sexual...
@carnix I'm not saying it isn't. But our society thinks that's the only thing boobs are for. Most mom's don't even breastfeed anymore.

Why is it so bad for a child to see a woman breastfeed? It actually serves as a biology and anatomy lesson. They will see what breasts are intended for. Kids in the US just think boobs are supposed to be big things that everyone is obsessed with and guys want to touch. Yeah, let's let kids think that, rather than that a breast serves as a way to feed an infant. I'm done with this. For a man your age you're very dense and very unintelligent.
I think I am pretty dame smart actually and you could look at those pictures and say that you think small children should see that then your the dense one not me
*damn *you're And what the hell is wrong with a child seeing a mother feed an infant the way nature intended? Its not sexual or wrong.
What if they are at a place, they can't leave or go anywhere, and the baby suddenly gets hungry... would you rather that child starve because of your half-assed reason you think breastfeeding in public is wrong? So what if anyone sees? Get over it, and let these mothers do their job without ridicule.
If there is no rest room to use which there is almost always is you can pump out a few small bottles of your own breast milk at home and feed like a normal child
There is no excuse for teaching children that it's ok to be naked in public
Making a child eat in a bathroom is disgusting, you have a deluded idea of what is normal, breastfeeding is completely normal, and if you're so worried about kids being corrupt, maybe you should worry about those kids parents not teaching them right from wrong... don't blame breastfeeding mothers for the fault of others. You are PATHETIC!
You are a complete idiot if you think breastfeeding mothers is teaching children that it's ok to be naked in public... You have no logic
I have a good sense of logic and I've seen first hand how kids react to seeing mothers breastfeeding and it not good
I've seen kids seeing mothers breastfeeding in malls and such and they don't even react at all. Kids don't care about that shit. They're not going to see a woman feeding and then scream bloody murder because they're seeing some side boob or something, wtf.
@musicbrain5 it's not that there going to run away it the polor opposite actually they get intrastead and then think if she can do it so can I and then hear lies the problem in teaching that it's ok to be naked in public
"you can pump out a few small bottles of your own breast milk at home and feed like a normal child ". So, @Asker, you are saying breastfed children are not normal children?
No I'm not saying that at all I would go that route if I was a girl but breastfeeding in public is not normal and that's why those pumps where made so that woman could still breastfeed and go places and do things
It's completely normal, maybe just not as common... those pumps are made as an option only if the mother had to go somewhere without her baby, so the baby will still be fed

Those pictures mean nothing
I have no problem with it whatsoever. If you don't want to see it, you can look elsewhere & mind your own business.
I don't see what's wrong with doing it around children. It's a natural thing & has nothing to do with being sexual. But even sex is natural. The American society is what has made nudity such a terrible thing when it honestly isn't.
I'd also like to say that sheltered kids tend to grow up to be some of the dumbest adults. Just putting that out there.
I don't have a problem with mothers teaching there own kids about breastfeeding but it shouldn't be forced oppond other people's children
It's not being forced upon. They're going to learn about things regardless because that's how life works. There's no way that breastfeeding is forcing anything upon anyone.
It does cause they see women doing it and then they think it's ok to expose them selves
