Should mums have a legal right to breastfeed in public?

a mothers milk is alot healthier then the powdered stuff, i disagree with your statement on this issue........

Re: Should mums have a legal right to breastfeed in public?
 

That's fairly typical of your attitude, what if the mother and child are out somewhere for the day? Somewhere for example where there is nowhere "out of the public eye", should the baby starve? Should the mother give up any thoughts of a social life because people like you can't deal with it? I think the answer is no.

Well try telling a starving baby that he/she has to wait until you can take them home! :rolleyes:
That would also be like condemning breatfeeding mothers to staying at home - not very practical at all. Personally I don't think there's a problem with it - just as long as it's done discreetly - I never had any problems - after all it's what breasts were designed for, not to be ogled at on page 3! :eek:

Really :eek:

Sorry SDA - but restricting it to "home" is just a plain daft idea.

oh, and despite it being on 5 live - I think this is more a lifestyle question - moved.

I think there should be the right for babies to be breast fed in public, perhaps the people who don't like it should stay at home? ;)

Exactly, or they could just not look. Notice how SDAL edited his posted to remove the bit about them staying at home, good job it was quoted ;)

I can't believe people still argue over this issue. Yes its acceptable, The only reason some people dont like it is because Breasts are seen as sexual objects, but if anyone actually finds a woman breast feeding sexually stimulating then they are a very sick puppy indeed

I heard about a woman breast feeding while at an outside cafe, she had her child under her top so nothing was visible, but you could tell what she was doing.
The cafe owner came out and threw a bucket of water over her and told her to clear off.
If I had been there I think I'd have decked him and I'm not a violent person!

Nicely put Bifta.

Clever edit by SDAL.

Perhaps he should think about his posts and engage the brain before typing.

Backtracking faster than an Italian.

To me the as some have said the Baby should be fed when they need to be fed.

As Chim said trying telling the baby to wait till you get home :rolleyes:

Mothers milk is there for a reason.

:D

And I'd have helped you, do you think he knows that he could have given the child pneumonia (spelling?) by doing that??
I think I lose more braincells drinking a pint than some people have in total.

Nobody is forced to look at anything, if you dont like it you dont look at it plain and simple.

Re: Should mums have a legal right to breastfeed in public?
 

Who is forcing people to look?

Well I can't recall ever seeing a breatfeeding mum flaunting herself in public - perhaps you are a little over-sensitive SDA?? And I'm sure you wouldn't suggest a bottle feeding mum should secrete herself away in a corner - so why should a mother who is only doing what nature intended?
