Me personally I think a woman should be discreet about it.
Sex, just like breast feeding, is completely natural, but I don't think you'll find very many people who will think that it's okay to have sex at the dinner table.

Recently here in Toronto a patron complained about a woman who was breast feeding her baby in a public change room at a skating rink. People say she had every right, and some people think she shouldn't have just whipped out her breasts and started breast feeding when so many people were around.

I just think women should be discreet about it. Go into the washroom, or drape a blanket around your shoulders so that your breasts aren't hanging out everywhere for everyone to see. I just see breast-feeding as a very personal thing, and it's something that shouldn't be shown to whomever is around.

I agree with you. For someone to just start breastfeeding her child in public is really not something I'd want to see. It's a private kind of thing.

I think that they should pump their own breast milk into bottles for when they go out, so they can use those instead.

I'm even more disgusted by breastfeeding after I learned that many women have orgasms doing so because it induces uterine contractions. So I don't particularly feel I should ever even know someone is breastfeeding.

I don't really care so much if it's in a mall but if I'm eating my lunch and notice a porous n****e with a crotch droppling latched on to it, my appetite is pretty much gone.

It's up to the public to be able to accept what nature has created, and that it's hungry and needs to be fed. Besides, what if there are no public restrooms in sight, and there are some fifteen year old pervs following you? What then?

But yes, I also agree there should be restrictions as to where they are allowed to do it. Not in the Food Court, because that causes loss of appetite.

Saying that someone can't beastfeed in public seems like denying a child food. It's not like she is trying to turn someone on or doing it for a reason other then that.

But again, I ask what about sex? Sex is natural, and when you're hungry for sex, it's only natural to feed yourself with it... however you'd get arrested for having sex in a public place. Just as defacating or urinating are natural, and when you gotta go you gotta go, but you can't do that in public.

It is if it's a PUBLIC change room.
Have you ever been to a skating rink? They're not change rooms as in Men are separate from Women changing clothes. It's a big room with a couple of benches with people coming in and out constantly to change their skates and put them in lockers.

I don't agree with it.

Pump the milk and bottle it.

I don't want to see your breast hanging all over the place, thanks.

Men always seem to like seeing breasts until they are used for their intended purpose.

Ironic, isn't it.

Personally, I think Women should be allowed to feed their babies anywhere where a bottle would be acceptable.

I think it should be done discreetly. No need for exibition. If al little kid saw a woman breast feeding her baby it would definately provoke some complictaed questioning.

Yes Sex is nautural and when you need it you need it but who are you to say
"Dont eat that sandwich here starve your child until you get home!" Baby's NEED breastmilk they dont understand waiting....

it so wrong because like once i was at a concert in monteray and then when i looked at the lady next to me i saw her breatsfeeding her baby in publi...even though she was trying to keep it secret it was nasty i saw everything

I think that it is fine. If the child is hungry, it needs to be fed. Anyway, it's a natural part of life. Women have breasts and the breasts are there to feed babies.

Offline
I think in some places it's okay.
Like, ya know..breast feeding the restroom or someplace private is alright. Because it's a discreet place. And if the baby is hungry, then it's hungry.
However, if a woman whips out her breasts in a public area, I think that's kinda disrespectful.
