It seriously only became an issue after formula was invented and touted as the best thing for babies because science. That would be the late 1940s and through the 50s. Baby boomers grew up with the idea that a woman breastfeeding a child was low class and bad, and they've passed that attitude on.

My son gets upset when my wife tries to cover him up. I'm personally not a fan of eating with a sheet over my head either. She ends up either not feeding him or having to do it in some shit hole bathroom.
They're feeding fucking children. Get over it. |

Let 'em do it in public - I enjoy seeing the swollen, milk-filled breasts, and if the woman doesn't mind me leering at her bare udders, then go for it.

I don't care one way or another. She either covers or she doesn't. Her choice. However, if I'm sitting in a restaurant and a fully naked boob pops out, it's not my fault if I glance over for a split second. I mean, its a boob and I'm a dude so, that's as natural as her breastfeeding.

Wrong. I mind my business and don't care if people breastfeed. Feminist activists who act like this is an issue are wrong, just like they are with everything else. If I were a woman I would find a quiet area to do it. I wouldn't want the attention. If anyone wants to announce to the world they are feeding and do it in a high traffic area, that's fine too. Don't get upset when you're judged. If some dude is working outside and goes off to hide in the woods and piss, these feminists would be the first ones to call the police instead of minding their business, all while screaming that I should mind mine. View Quote Lol, you think anyone breast feeding in public is a feminist |

My wife's grandmother (married to a doctor) exclusively fed her babies formula, and encouraged her daughters to use formula instead of breastfeeding. Why bother with breastfeeding when formula is supposedly just as good? My wife lost her grandma to breast cancer, and her mom narrowly survived breast cancer, too. Obviously we're concerned for my wife, considering the family history. Fortunately she breastfed our children for about a year each. |

As a father of 4 , and with a wife who breastfeed them all, I have 2 cents to contribute.
It is natural , and very healthy for the baby and mother. It should make others neither horney or hungry ,if you don't like it , don't look at it. How hard is that to understand? |

I walked into a local Wendys and there sat a young mother bare breasted feeding a infant while she herself had lunch.
I took a double take as I wasnt expecting to see that. My very next thought was "cute baby" followed by "nice rack" Basically no shits were given. I actually enjoyed seeing the baby being fed and well cared for. The looks of others around was worth paying admission to see in itself. I guess if seeing that makes you repulsed or want to jerk off, you are the problem. |

Totally natural. So is fucking pissing and taking a shit. I prefer a little privacy. View Quote Its also natural to die, but if someone shoots you in the face.. Pretty sure its illegal to urinate and defecate in public places, at least in most cities it is. Eating is not, and people eat in public all the time, so there's a far more honest comparison than pissing and shitting in front of people. It just so happens that a baby's food comes from his mother's breast. Mothers naturally tend to look for a bit of privacy when brest feeding, but its ridiculous to demand of them to cover up. Just chose something else to stare at. |

I don't get too worked up over it, and I'd vigorously oppose any law that sought to regulate the practice, but...
...a little discretion goes a long way. Social mores aren't always bad, even when they're illogical. Just be reasonable. I don't go out of my way to make people around me feel uncomfortable, if I can help it. It seems to me like one side could ease up on their prudish tendencies a bit, and another side would do well to ease up on the "we're here, it's legal, get used to it" activist angle. This applies to a lot more than breastfeeding, BTW. Thankfully, most women (including my wife and the mother of my two children) appreciate nuance. She neither banished herself to a public toilet, nor flopped her tits out loud and proud at a restaurant like it was no big deal. There's a happy medium in there, if you've got at least a modicum of self-awareness. |

I'm more Offended by people Chewing their Food with their mouth open......

Unlike a grown ass neckbeard, a baby cant wait for a few hours to eat, because it so happens its a baby. If that's the case then have a minimum level of decency, control yourself and just stare elsewhere. If this much skin makes your private parts tinkle then that’s just sad.

Does it bother you if some guy discreetly takes a leak somewhere like a backyard or after walking into some nearby woods? If so, why? Sure doesn't. It also doesn't bother me if he eats a sandwich or sucks down a Big Gulp, which would be comparable actions to a child eating. Elimination of waste is not at all the same thing as feeding a child. Changing a diaper is also waste elimination, and it's pretty gross when people flop their babies on restaurant tables to do so or chuck the diapers on the ground when they're done. You *might* have a point if the woman was expressing milk onto the ground and no hungry child was being fed, but that's about the closest you could come. |

View Quote But you don't have to be retarded (unless you really, really want to ) but the analogy is very simple really: a baby eating in public is as bad as you eating a sandwich in public. Simple as that. The breast part was adressed in the pics posted above. The analogy to you shirting and peeing in public would be the baby doing so as well, but without the diaper and upsetting everyone around him. And keeping it honest, some adults do use diapers as well and no one is bothered by it. |

A.W.D. View Quote No, I'm not a pedophile. Everyone in this thread is throwing names and trying to insult the moral integrity of those they disagree with, while completely ignoring facts. But I guess you're right. Just because something is natural, doesn't mean it's appropriate to do in front of others. So if we are going to base our justification of societal norms by screaming that it's natural, well, that's very progressive. It's actually a keystone in most progressive movements. They say "Gay sex is natural, promiscuity among women is natural, polygamy is natural, pedophilia is natural", etc. So since we've established that not all natural things are appropriate for public, the argument of "it's natural" is worthless. Luckily, I support a free country, so the reason of "I want to breastfeed my child in public" is good enough for me. Just stop screaming the word natural in my ear. |

Breastfeeding is the healthiest, most natural endeavor a mother can have with her baby.
I wish there were more women who could understand the physiological, psychological, and emotional benefit to both mother and child that comes from breastfeeding. I fail to understand why breastfeeding in public is even something worth discussing, unless it is to heap praise upon the mother for doing the absolute best thing for her and baby. All the whiners and complainers need to grow the fuck up, do some research on the benefits of breastfeeding, and if it really bothers you that badly, just look the other damn direction. Babies feed when they're hungry, and if it happens to be in a public place, so be it. Let momma whip out a boobie and let the kid go to town. Haters gonna hate. |

Its courtesy to cover up.
If you don't, don't be alarmed at people staring or looking. |

out of the few I have seen they were all fairly discrete and weren't bothering anyone..
I haven't seen any attention whores feeding their spawn but I don't consider all open carriers as being attention whores either. |

Moms covering up the poor breastfeeding baby so as to not offend some nutcase are almost as bad. They honestly don't know what they are doing. A baby looks for mom, he makes eye contact with her, bonds with her in ways neckbeards will never understand (maybe they've never been breastfed,which would explain a lot). I've seen it many times and it's beautiful. My point is don't cover the poor child as if it were some hideous monstrosity. Look at him, bond with him and fuck anyone that isn't minding their own business. Dad of two here, which were breastfed, fortunately in a society where in spite of having many flaws, stupid breastfeeding paranoia was not one of them. Babies eat and thats all there's is to it and never heard of anyone having a problem with such a thing until now. |

Breasts are generally only used or exposed in a sexual manner outside of feeding a child. See the pic of Melania Trump for exhibit A
In the US they are almost universally required to be covered and exposing them is a social and potentially legal gaffe. For a lot of very sound reasons, among them because of "creepers" and predators that may be watching. Now we have a group of people who insist on breaking those social mores while feeding their baby, because...reasons? Nobody is against breast feeding in concept, or if a woman accidentally flashes a boob while covered up, it's the vocal few that choose to hang their boobs out in public, and then defiantly lash out at anyone who might dare to object. It's snowflake central; screw all the people around me who might be offended for whatever reason, Ima do it my way! |

I grew up in a family and a time when the women just whipped it out and plugged the little monster in. They would do it mid sentence talking to you without missing a beat. It was no big deal. It was more like the baby is feeding and not look at that boob.
