Breastfeeding in Public

go on your way and let an intimate moment remain intimate !

If the mother looks at me, I give a smile and go on my merry way, I always have my son with me and he's a handful. I think it's a great thing to nurse in public!

Just simply walk away. You don't have to do anything. Just keep minding your own business and do nothing. Moms do what they have to do, it is not a matter of choice, they do it so their babies won't get hungry. Just like one of the respondents, I believe that one should keep an intimate moment intimate.

i would tell her its awesome that she does that!! i would have had no problem breasfeeding in public, but do to infections after delivery that made it impossiable. but with baby #2 i am deft. going to do that. if someone looks at me strange i will just ingore them. if someone says something to me, i will just say i am not going to let my baby starve just cause you dont like it, dont like it dont look!its very natural and very healthy for baby (and mom).

I wouldn't say anything, it isn't any of my business how another mom feeds her child. I chose not to brestfeed my kids and Ic ertainly wouldn't want someone coming up to me saying anything because I am giving my baby a bottle. It is the same thing, just how we choose to feed our baby. Sometimes I wonder how a woman can be all out there and not be embarassed (because i know I would be) but it isn't my place to judge anyone.

IM gonna go with look the other way, if the babies hungry what can ya do. Im not a parent by the way lol. Nor do i plan on being one anytime soon, i just think we eat when were hungry and we dont hide to. Why should mothers have to hide feedint their babies?

I still comment on the baby being cute. Some women seem to be less discreet though, and if you can see too much and think maybe they are hoping no one notices, I wouldn't say anything. Definitely no nasty comments.

i wouldn't say anything. i probably would just walk by. baby got to eat so. i think that if i saw that happen in a public area where there were lots of people and children around then i probably would shoot a what the in the world look although i wouldn't mean anything by it...but u never know

Whats the big deal this is a natural thing? Its not polite to stare and maybe she feels folks are staring. Feeding an baby is mother natures natural way and should be accepted this way by all.

I don't know about the idea of bre*stfeeding in public. I mean I would not want to expose that much of myself in public, regardless of what the reason is. I think that if women are going to bre*stfeed, they should do it somewhere private, not in public. I'm not trying to be close-minded, but I think it's something that even she wouldn't enjoy doing in public. And some people might be offended by it. I usually just bottle-feed my baby in public.

Some people also here in the Philippines do that. Sometimes I myself feel ashamed because even its not me I feel like they are looking at every womans body. Its like they have already seen me with no clothes. Which I find an awkward feeling. I think women shouldn't do that in public.

Very touchy subject. I read about some lady get kicked out of a department store because she was feeding there. I think they should do their best to hide it, because regardless of the nature of the situation, a lot of people are not interested in watching that, similar to PDA (public display of affection) - now obviously this is a TOTALLY different subject, but I hope you understand my thinking.

i look away it isn't nasty but i sure women don't want everyone watching.I also think women could just pump a bottle before they leave the house or go to the ladiesroom to feed. If you cant I understand but i do not look i think its rude.

it depends how does the mom looks like.. if shes hot.. i will smile at her.. if not, and i will look away .. haha
