I love the reasoning, "It's such a beautiful and intimate time for a mother and her baby." Yes, that's EXACTLY when I want to invite the whole world in.

She glared at them because they were staring. She has every right to breast feed and they were trying to intimidate her. Just because some (few) new moms don't cover up like you'd like doesn't mean you blame every breast feeding mother. Wow.

She glared at her, took a picture and posted it and wrote about it. She could have ignored the lady.

Where did anyone blame all mothers who nurse? I don't care if a mother nurses or not. Mothers has a right to nurse their babies and people have a right to eat and not be uncomfortable. Cover ups are great and intimate and common courtesy goes a long way.
Most mom's I know use Bonny's method of nursing. Cami/t-shirt. Cami goes down, t-shirt goes up. Baby is eating uncovered with nothing showing. It really can be done.

that is fine. I think people are bothered more by just whipping out the boob in full monty. When I had my first baby I just pulled up my blouse to nurse my baby and my poor nephew turned so red and embarrassed so I started to use a cover whenever I nursed in front of people. I felt bad for him.

Tongues and twerping are fine, but breastfeeding not so much.
I don't get it.
Tongues and twerking are gross.

No she was just saying not covering up bothers her and she wasn't blaming all women who breast feed.
Thanks, Lindley. I appreciate it.
TD hates me, so I'm used to it by now.
flan
I don't even know you so I don't hate you. You seem to have had a problem with me since day one. You're the one who has to insult me when you can't find a good argument and have the need to jump in no matter who I disagree with. Then you act all "I'm ignoring her" as you insult me. Try growing the hell up and stop the victim crap will you?

She said she couldn't not look. I call bull. Sure it may make you uncomfortable so why are you looking?
Really? If I'm in a restaurant and she's at the table in front of us...
If any other poster had made that statement, you would have been fine.

Look at your food, look at your husband. Being offended by something you CHOOSE to look at is silly. No matter WHO makes the statemnt it's just not true.
It is hard avoiding it if it is in your face. I've tried to avoid looking at a guys butt crack in a café but it was real hard since he was sitting in front of my table and there was no where else to sit. I've nursed in public but used a cover. It is just common courtesy and it doesn't take to much effort.
OF COURSE IT IS!
Butt cracks, or guys with beer bellies & a too-small T-shirt, gals wearing clothes 3 sizes too small...
I breastfed both my boys & frankly, I didn't want strangers looking at my b00bs.
flan
Then don't show other people your boobs. NO ONE is saying you HAVE to nurse in public--but what you and a few other fvcking whiners want in society is IRRELEVANT.

Haha...You are right Ohfour. I forgot she was a porn watcher. Iguess boobs during sex don't make her as uncomfortable as a mom feeding her baby.

But, in general, I will always be in favor of showing bewbs in public. I'd actually prefer they weren't nursing.
I kind of knew you'd feel this way. You are a man after all...Seriously, I find that the uncomfortable (fear) feeling about boobs to be just weird. You'll (general you) watch someone beingtortured and killed on tv but show a boob and you blow a gasket. That's just wrong.
ETA At least I won't have to worry about flan coming in to save you because we actually agree. Which we do more than you and flan do believe it or not...lol

But just because she is not using a cover or doing it the way you would prefer her to, does not necessarily mean she is 'making a statement'. She is just nursing her baby the way she and baby are most comfortable.
I finely looked at the article. If she had lifted up her shirt instead of pulling down her top and whipping out the full monty no one would have cared.
That is not true, there have been several articles about women shamed for nursing discreetly with the top shirt pulled up and a nursing tank underneath. People are offended to even know a baby is breastfeeding nearby.
I get more offended when stuff starts coming out the other end of baby.
It's a baby suckling on a nipple. Grow up people.

Maybe majority is the better word. I don't care if someone is nursing their baby, just don't want the full monty.
Seems juvenile to be offended by something so innocent.
