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

  • why 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.

  • 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.

    • Show All
  • 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

    2nd strike - One month of daily penal servitude at Hooters.
    3rd strike - Permanent mammary amputation.

    Or, alternatively:

    1st strike - Ten minutes of @Dirtydawg4424 goggling at your breasts.
    2nd strike - One month of daily supervision by @Dirtydawg4424.
    3rd strike - Permanent brain amputation through @Dirtydawg4424 talking nonstop for an hour.

    Seriously, what is wrong with you?

    • Nothing is wrong just asking a simple question

    • And none of those would work as punishments

  • 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

    • Show All
  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    • Show All
  • 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!

  • 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
