What are your thoughts on women breastfeeding in public?
rthomas43 Guru
Do you think they should: 1. Be able to breastfeed anywhere they please, with no cover? 2. Be allowed to breastfeed anywhere, but only with a cover? 3. Not be allowed to breastfeed in the middle of public eye?

What Girls & Guys Said
19 21I said B because that's what I plan to do, but I honestly don't care if other women use a cover or not. I would, just out of modesty but that's it and if my baby REALLY needed to eat and I was for some reason unprepared and had no cover I would still feed it, id try and do it a little more discreetly but I would still do it.
It reminds me of my mother most of the time..
Please use a cover.
The baby's head IS a cover.
lol...
Where they want, no cover needed, but if they want cover that's perfectly OK.
Nobody was ever hurt by a lactating breast. It may be the first good thing a baby sees in life.
And NO, it's not against religion either.

Those who can't stand it can move on, instead of forcing mother and baby to hide.
With a little discretion no problem.
I think they should at least be somewhat discreet about it.
If its an emergency is ok,
otherwise it´s needless and make me penis get hard for nothing.
I personally don't care if she does it.
The baby comes first. You can't expect a mom to just sit at the house for a year (or sometimes longer). Don't like it? Don't look. It's natural.
People can use the same argument though to say that the mom can move herself to someone not in plain sight. So that argument goes both ways.
Yeah. That's true. But people need to stop worrying about what they are seeing and what the mom is doing. Baby needs to eat. The US is the only country where it's obscene to Breastfeed... I lived in Germany and Women would walk around topless at public pools. Around kids. Nudity doesn't scare anyone but the US
Where I live women breastfeed in any public place without cover (obvioysly, only the nursing breast is exposed). Totally acceptable
I think it should be with a cover. I know a baby has to eat and it can come at bad times but a little class is needed on the woman's part. I was at a gathering with friends and her kid needed to be fed. She just whipped her tit out in front of everyone and went to it. It made all of us feel really uncomfortable.
I guess all I'm saying is at least cover up and show a little class.
I voted A. If you can breast feed, no cover in a prison, why can't you on the outside? It's all about respect. Keep your eyes off my breasts and mind your own damned business. My kid is hungry.
To be honest I don't really take much notice. Why would I they're feeding there baby
I wanted to vote B, but there are still some places where I'd rather not see a breastfeeding woman. Like at a super fancy restaurant or something, where you technically shouldn't even bring your kids. Otherwise I'm for B 100%.
Why I want them to cover up a little is because I generally don't want to see PEOPLE topless out in public, unless it's at a beach. It's not because I think showing your boobs is super inappropriate or because boobs are oversexualized. It's just that I'd rather have PEOPLE in general keep their clothes on out in public, especially at cafés and restaurants, where people are actually trying to eat and seeing someone topless (both man and woman) can ruin my appetite a little. So yeah, putting a blanket over for a little privacy would be ideal to me. Otherwise I have 0 problems with women breastfeeding out in public.
and for the record, before anyone starts ranting to me, if I see a woman breastfeeding without a blanket it's not as if I'll walk up to her and ask her to put a blanket over her boob/baby. I'll accept it, even though I'd prefer her having a blanket on.
I don't find babies eating to be a sexual thing at all. So women should be able to breastfeed anywhere and everywhere they choose.
This isn't the middle ages or Saudi Arabia, where we insist that women cover up for the crime of being women, and live in the belief that the only way for men to avoid being assholes is for all temptation to be removed from their sight.
