A Little Bit Old-fashioned about Breast Feeding
By Old Timer
Published/Last Modified on Monday, June 1, 2009 11:36 AM CDT
Maybe it's just me, and it could be, but I believe that if a mother is going to breast feed her child, she should cover herself so as not to make others uncomfortable. I know there are no clearly written rules concerning this, but it just seems appropriate. At the CHS Volleyball summer camp, someone is feeding their child openly in front of all the students and any participants in the gym. If general nudity is not allowed in public, then this shouldn't be either. If someone out there knows about how this has changed or if this has become commonplace, please let me know.

I don't think it's pathetic that this is an open forum to have discussions/debates about various topics. Sorry that this topic around women feeding their children openly in public is considered 'pathetic' to you.
In case you didn't notice there are about 40 other topics that people have weighed in on recently. This isn't all there is to talk about in 'the berry'.
Maybe you should grow up and learn how to select 'All Talked About' that lists the other topics. "

You call it natural and that's fine. It is natural. I call it natural to look. I'm a guy that is attracted to females. You don't want me to look? Don't do it. It's just that simple.
You want to breastfeed, that's fine. I'll look. We both win.
PS. This is only for attractive people. Ugly people please don't do this. "

Also, when a child crawls up on your lap, unbuttons your shirt, pulls out your breast and suckles with a mouth full of teeth, it's time to quit. "

Now, how about some of those kids "dancing" for the parades to songs about all sorts of vulgar stuff Bad words edited but content is still there. Hootching down the street? That is acceptable but breastfeeding is shunned? Gotta love NI "

My point is that there is nothing vulgar about breast feeding a baby.It is the way nature has intended it to be for all mammals (there are 4237 species that breast feed). No one seems to blink an eye on all the flesh exposure one can see on the covers of magazines or for that matter on t.v. including the time slots that used to be set aside as family television.Old fashioned America had no problem with women breastfeeding in public.The shunning of breastfeeding began in 1800's because of a group called "Men of Sense".-continued- "

Just because you like seeing that woman's nice looking bare breast exposed in public, doesn't make it right, and it doesn't mean everyone else should have to be exposed to it. She should cover up while breastfeeding in public. "

Unfortunately, this argument has gone on since the 60's when it seems the human population lost alot of respect for themselves. "

I have just have one question for you. Do you have a daughter who attended this so called volleyball camp? I would think not since you don't have the facts straight regarding no camp going on this week. You are just a messy parent putting your nose where you shouldn't. "

I breastfed my son for a while, and I would never have considered doing so in public without being as discreet as possible under a thin light baby blanket (cover-up), out-of-respect-for-myself-and-everyone-else-around. "

So.... whether or not this happened and to compare the most natural thing in the world to general nudity is ludicrous. I agree a breastfeeding mother in public should be discreet, but when a baby is hungry they shouldn't have to be fed in a germ ridden public bathroom. Uncomfortable bystanders should look the other way! "
