Now what is it with us, we want to control even nature? Impose our ideas and 'ideals' on hungry infants too?
An infant is hungry and he/she needs to feed, that's all!!!
How can anyone view that as sexual or exposing boobs etc?
Oh yes there are women who don't realize 'cover' at that time but I'm sure they aren't doing so to flash their boobs to the open public, they are more concerned about their child's hunger WHICH IS IMPORTANT at that point of time.
I don't even think we should even think of making an issue of this - it's creepy
P.S most women cover but like I said there are times when they don't realize it or is not possible so it's ok. End of the day just as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, malice & sexual thoughts too in this case is about those who are looking
When the infant's hungry it ALWAYS IS an emergency :)
If they want to I have no problem with it, anyone who see's feeding a child as indecent or in any way sexualised has issues... sure they could perhaps be discreet out of courtesy/public protocol. Anyway in the summer time large fat men walk about with their breasts out and no one will remotely care.
I don't see an issue. The baby has to eat... They should be able to do it wherever, within certain parameters and as long as they are being decent about it. So for the most part, I would say B. I think it is okay so long as their breast isn't exposed for children or other people passing by to see. I know that it's not like the whole thing will be completely in plain sight... And Yes, I know they're natural and a part of life, but regardless of how we feel about it, breasts are sexual. If I see a woman without a cover, I don't care all that much... It's not something that I am really passionate in advocating about, but it just seems like common decency and common sense to have a cover.
nice question, this is actually becoming more of an issue here in australia.
i honestly think that number 2 is the most suitable. a woman can breastfeed wherever and whenever the hell she wants… no needs… to. heck, the baby is fricken hungry…and its hungry NOW. so y can a mother not feed her child and cover herself until the baby is full?
i can understand y people wouldn't b ok with option 1. but saying that a woman shouldn't b able to do it in public altogether? no thats just plain derogatory to mothers.
I think people should have the freedom to breastfeed anywhere the baby needs it, but the women also have to be considerate of others too. They have to cosider the possibility that some people might not feel comfortable with the sight of bare breast out in public, and should at least make an effort to cover up. I picked B.
The baby's head does cover most of the breast while feeding.
not when it's seen from the side.
The people that don't feel comfortable seeing a breast in public should stop staring at it. Problem solved.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I think a woman should not hide to breastfeed, though it's better to be covered and there's some places you should not do it but when a baby needs it, you're not going to hide all the time
Women should be able to breastfeed anywhere they please with no cover, because the babies can have a temper tantrum when the mother tries to put a cover over them, but women should still make *some* attempt to cover up instead of lackadaisically setting her puppies free.
B. Anywhere with a cover.
Babies get hungry at the most inconvenient times, so mom has to be ready to feed anywhere. But she should use a cover. I also think a cover would help the baby be less distracted during feeding, especially if they're in a really busy area.
Voted A. The baby's head is blocking most of the view.
My wife breastfed 3 kids in public and nobody ever said anything.
If they cover it up it's okay, but honestly I would prefer if they went to the bathroom or something. We don't have those baby toilets for nothing.
Saying you can eat in the restaurant but the baby should eat in the toilet?
So the baby has to grow up associating eating with the smell of shit?
I was surprised to see the number of women who voted B, because I figured most women would be aware that many babies get upset at having their head covered. These babies will reach up and throw off the cover, and if you force it on them they will fuss (noisily) and perhaps not be able to finish. As noted in some other topics, there are places where toplessness and even nudity are legal. Many cities have it written in law that women appearing topless is completely in their right.
It is a natural thing. She has to deal with it. But personally I prefer with cover since there are lots of perverts.
As soon as they start regulating adds like Victoria secret then they can start telling a mom she can't feed her baby in public. It's insanity, people watch p*rn and go to strip clubs and just every sex sells whatever they want to sell and it's a damn shame that's ok but a mother feeding her child is not.
I'd go with B. It should be allowed at any time and at any place, but covered would probably be best for everyone involved.
I don't think anything of it. I feel more sorry for people who have an issue with it. Boobs are primarily for feeding babies. The fact they also have a sexual feature is just a bi product caused by modern society xx
Should cover up no one wants to look at blue veined engorged mammary glands
That is not something women should do in public... just, no. Yes, it's natural. So is sex. Most people think it shouldn't be in public. It's not going to kill nursing mothers to go find somewhere private to breastfeed.
GROSS! EWW! NO! GO AWAY!
In fact, babies should be kept out of public eye sight!
No.2 is what I would choose. A mother should have the freedom to breastfeed her child anywhere, but she should cover herself too i.e. with a scarf. It ensures the baby and mother both have privacy
I think there's something seriously seriously wrong when we are so prudish about the human body that someone would think feeding a baby the way nature intended is somehow offensive.
I use to breastfeed in public all the time, but with a blanket over me. So, I have no problem with it. I don't see what the issue is with something that we are suppose to do naturally; as long as you are covered.
Sure - why not... they're only breasts. But there should be some cover, if nothing else I don't really like anyone eating in public.
They should be able to do it where they want to. When a baby is hungry it's hungry you can't ask the baby to wait till their home, I personally prefer when they use a cover, but if they don't out of respect towards them I do not look. But I'm fine with it either way :)
As long as the mom's body and the child are covered with a shawl or the like, it is fine.
She should be able to do it anywhere with it covered
