Moms Promote Nursing in Public
CANOE -- CNEWS - Canada: Moms promote nursing in public
Baby's got to eat when baby is hungry...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hot Topics" hasn't got any action here lately...the last one is about OJ and he's old news now...
I'd sure like to know what guys think of this, and women, would you do breastfeed in public?

Re: Moms Promote Nursing in Public
I have no issues with breastfeeding in public. Sadly most countries in the world & religions do.

Re: Moms Promote Nursing in Public
I used to do that when mine were babies. I was discrete and covered myself with a blanket. Only did it a few times but when you are out shopping or something and they are hungry and they won't take a bottle, I think the people around would prefer that you make them shut up. The one time I remember I was in the food court at the mall so we were having lunch. Besides, when you breast feed and they are ready it hurts to not do it so giving a bottle would have hurt me.
It is a natural thing so I don't see why it should be hidden in the house all the time.

Re: Moms Promote Nursing in Public
I also think men enjoy looking and kind of start sort of glancing....I hope I'm not offending any men by saying that....  |

Re: Moms Promote Nursing in Public
My gf's stepsister became a mom for the second time. Her husband does have issues (religious) but I don't.
Nothing is more charming than a man or a woman caring for their baby. Nothing is more annoying when that does not happen, and causes a baby to cry.

public nudity; private affairs should not be in the public sphere. He is from a conservative church - but a great father for the older child.

I have no problems with it either, especially if I'm the one feeding 
I'm with Vautrin on this, taking care of your kids is nothing to be ashamed of. |

I had plenty to go around when I was nursing!!! But, alas, that was a long time ago.
