Does A Woman Breastfeeding In Public Bother You?

[looksgoodinred]

I'd have thought this was a complete non-issue almost everywhere in the world by now, but apparently not. Why a woman would still need to go to the loo to breast feed her child strikes me as ridiculous. But I'm not a man.

 

As long it's done fairly discreetly, does it bother you when a woman breastfeeds in a public place?

 

 

In the poem, McNish talks about the shame that she and many other women have been made to feel about breastfeeding in public.

That shame has forced many women into public toilets when it comes time to feed their children - including McNish.

In her YouTube description, she explains "I wrote this poem in a public toilet after my six-month-old baby fell asleep."

Over the course of the video, she talks about aggressive marketing of baby formula, as well as the double standard applied to breasts: they are celebrated in sexualized magazine spreads and billboards, she says, but seen as shameful during breastfeeding.

She told the Huffington Postthat she wrote the poem a few years ago (her daughter is now three), but that she was "too embarrassed" to share it sooner.

McNish also clarified that she's not completely opposed to baby formula, but that she hates "the divide created between mums because of this issue."

"So many friends of mine swapped to formula because of embarrassment and no other reason. That makes me really hate our culture," she said.

Depends if she has nice paps or not.

[cow]

It's perfectly fine provided the woman doesn't mind an audience.

I think people should stop breast feeding before they are two,, or even earlier but I don't mind seeing a woman sooking on another woman's pap for fun.

You could have at the very least snuck in a little example of a video of a naked pap rather than that ginger freak

i did say *discreetly*.

 

i'll take your response as non-bothered then. in the right circumstances.

[fatjim]

it's no worse than fucking a corpse.

only slightly less erotic.

you'd think your wife could work up a bit of enthusiasm once in a while, ffs.

[fatjim]

she cheers on the sidelines.

[chaos_defrost]

She looks like she's flat chested. She's probably just bitter that she isn't getting a good reaction from onlookers.

[Bluto10]

as long as its nae cheeseppipes im nae bothered

It's illegal to advertise formula breast milk on TV in the UK to promote breastfeeding. That's why they invented that follow on milk bullshit to get round the advertisement ban. Follow on milk is pretty much the same but with a slight change in ingredient and name only.

 

There's your titty milk fact for the day.

[ChutneyLove]

Veiny paps. Gads min. Paps that look like a page out of a road atlas should be banned.

[ChutneyLove]

A prolapsed anus is always a turn-off.

[daytripping]

Nae even a raised eyebrow from the dayts camp, you need to feed your kid then go ahead and do it, my child was breastfed, it is the best after all.

 

Anyone moaning about it would have been knocked out, nobody ever did.

 

Anyone who would whinge about a mother feeding her baby as nature intended needs to take a long hard look at themselves, it's a fucking boob, so what.

 

Same with the naked rambler guy, he wants to walk about as god intended then let him, these kind of things don't even register with me.

[zander]

Can see gay foster parents objecting as its not equal rights if they can't breast feed than neither should a mother.

[tightbreeks]

^{bitty...bitty!!}

[diamondsr4ever]

nae issue with it, though if the bairn is aboot 4 or 5...then that would be a tad weird!

[Red Dragon]

Not in the slightest but that has came after both mine have been breastfed.

 

Not to say it "bothered" me before, just was never exposed to it before. The first time a woman started breastfeeding in my company, I didn't know where to look tbh and I was the one embarrassed, not the woman who was feeding.

 

IME it is the older generation who still have a problem with it, and not only men. My brothers mother in law has gone as far as to say that breastfeeding it wrong and that that is not what they are for . Quite what they are for if not feeding, I'm not sure. Mind, she is a brainless idiot though.

[a don in oz]

No problem with discreet.

 

Big problem with the militant "here is my tit, see? nipple and all, go on and hassle me" types. Seen a few of them around, but mercifully far more women are discreet. Baby need a feed, baby needs a feed.

 

There was a story here recently that annoyed me. Woman in the hairdresser has her baby and it needs a feed so the hairdresser moved away and left her too it. When she was done the hairdresser had another patron appointment so moved to them and offered for another staffer to come and finish the job.

 

The woman cried that her rights had been denied because 1. the hairdresser wouldn't cut her hair while she was feeding the baby and 2. she wouldn't then subsequently drop her next customer to do her hair when baby was done.

 

Don't know about you but if I was a business I wouldn't want to be waving scissors around or spraying at times pretty harsh chemicals around when there's a baby right there.

[Huntlysheep]

Nah nae problem at all, it's a natrual thing.

[Tyrant]

Doesn't bother me at all. Find it hard to believe that folk would get wound up about it.

[The Hulk]

Has anyone tasted breast milk? It tastes much nicer than I ever thought it would. It's like sweet, thinned-out condensed milk.

I have no memory of the taste but that sounds amazing.

Yep. It is nice. My oldest was born two month premature so was tube and then bottle fed with breast milk. Always had a taste to check it wasn't too warm.

 

There is a market there for a brave individual.

 

Breast milk sold in bottles shaped like tits. More natural than drinking cow's milk.

Imagine having a breast milk farm...
