Question for mother's, do you feel bad or awkward if in public you feed your baby and a male look at your breast carefully

[EmmaMary]

I am currently breastfeeding our four week old baby daughter, and should I be out and about and she needs feeding then I simply cover with a muslin cloth.

However, if by the remotest chance I don't happen to have one, I still wouldn't hesitate in trying my best to discretely feed her... I most certainly wouldn't feel bad, awkward or embarrassed in any way whatsoever.

My breasts and those of every other woman have one sole purpose in life, and that is precisely what I am doing with mine as and when my baby requires them.

Thank you so much @oliver4love for the MHO.

If i breast feed my hungry baby in public i will make sure i am covered so that no man can stare at my boobs it's shameful that those who do that to a mother who is only trying to feed their hungry baby

I'm not a mother but I must have my share of the conversation! Breasts produce milk for a reason, people who get uncomfortable seeing a mother feed her baby (especially if she takes care in covering herself) but do not bat an eyelid when women are exposing themselves to showcase their 'adornments' to the world need a reality check. Whilst breasts can be attractive, their purpose is not sexual gratification, it is to ensure that if a woman does become a mother, she is able to provide the best possible sustenance for her baby. People who shame mothers for breastfeeding should hang their heads in shame. I'm not fielding any replies, this matter is closed. Thank you x

I would think it was immature and rude of him. More of mild annoyance than anything else, its just a boob afterall and its got a baby attached to it.

[pupluv45]

Thats part of the reason why i will never breastfeed in public. And its hilarious how some moms expose themselves in public then complain when men stare.

[oliver4love]

Yeah but when a little baby is hungry and a breastfeed mother traveled in a public train 🚉, bus or plane ✈ etc or in a public gathering.. A mother heart don't bother society or males near her.. Her baby is her 1st preference..

[pupluv45]

You can find a wall and turn around to face the wall. Feed your baby in front of the wall.

Truth is, if you truly dont want to expose yourself, you will so your best to find a way. People who don't really care, they just yank their breast out on nice display for teenage boys and perverts to ogle at. Dont be shocked if someone ends up secretly recording you too.

[oliver4love]

You are absolutely right but sometime it's not possible when you in a bus, train or in public gathering so that time a mother heart don't think that someone use her breast as a sexual attention or attraction because you a girl you understand better that only little skin of breast is visible at time of breastfeed 🤱 and if some males sick in the mind with dirty thoughts then it's not a mother problem who breastfeed her little baby 🤱..

[pupluv45]

There are walls everywhere. You can breastfeed even in front of a car. You can breastfeed in front of a building. These things are everywhere 95% of the time. You can also try to pump milk in a bottle at home before you leave the house.

Its also respectful to avoid inappropriately exposing yourself in public.

[pupluv45]

Not everyone is comfortable witnessing nudity. Some can get very uncomfortable. Not only that there can be kids under 18 who can get curious

[oliver4love]

Yeah I understand your view's..

[pupluv45]

If i become a mother, i would do the exact things i said. I like being respectful and considerate. It requires extra planning but its worth it

[oliver4love]

But in this modern world when we are near 2023.. Girl's normally wear top, t shirt 👚 with some part of upper breast visible in cloths, so it's my thinking if in breastfeed little skin is visible it's not a big matter because nipple covered by baby mouth.. I think nows it's time to free the mother's to breastfeed any where..

[LovingLoverReturned]

yes, I'd feel uncomfortable so I'd probably place a thin breathable flap like cover. But it wouldn't stop me from doing what is necessary.

[Apple1996]

Nah I never feel bad. I just breastfeed my baby and ignore everyone else

[Mmmariaxc]

No i don’t care, that’s their own problems not mine.

[elizamichale1]

No not at all.. that is one of the most beautiful thing a mum can do n i do it proudly.. when its my boys' feed time i dont care wht others may think n if they look at me well let them

[Kelly6]

No o never feel bad, I feel normal because baby needs food.

I have even went on fictions where in middle I had to feed baby in front of people.

[dustybiker]

This isn‘t creepy at all.

[oliver4love]

Yeah you are absolutely right but some sick in the mind males treat it as a sexual attention but it's shameful

[Ushna_Sh]

It is a privacy of women and women should feed alone in a room
