Simple. Get a milk device that you can hookup to yourself and load up on breastmilk so you can bottle feed it to her. Problem solved.
This doesn't have to be a huge issue. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience.
You're talking about a breast pump. If it were that simple, women would do it. But pumping is time consuming and not all breastfed babies will even take a bottle. I'm glad you think it's that easy, but thankfully you'll never have to find out that it isn't.
@cpzpbx3
You should really look up the definition of Simple.
It means it isn't complicated. There's not a lot of moving parts. The concept isn't difficult to understand. Easy means actually doing it is not difficult.
Now, I personally know people who use it and they've not complained about it and even recommend it. So while I understand you may not feel the same, breastfeeding straight is not the only option, which is what I was sharing with the asker who has an issue to be dealt with.
Have you ever seen a breast pump? There are like fifteen pieces that have to be taken apart and cleaned after each use. I know what the definition of simple is, but I don't think you really get to say what's difficult and what isn't about something you will never do, ever.
I'm not saying breastfeeding straight is the only option for every woman, I'm just saying there are a multitude of reasons why it's easier and more beneficial for mother and baby to not have to pump all the time. Why should she have to inconvenience herself to avoid having assholes approach me and make shitty comments? How abut people just leave other people alone, especially if they aren't bothering anyone? Sorry, I just don't see why the mother should have to make her life more difficult just because people are dicks.
I'm just really saying that it's pretty arrogant to say "problem solved" like the poster had never thought of pumping before, or like it was the magical perfect answer to breastfeeding.
@cpzpbx3
I'm sorry... did you ask her if she thought of that before? Because I'm talking about her. Not you.
And seriously, you're just arguing semantics.
It wasn't your suggestion that was arrogant. It was the way you said "problem solved" afterward, as if you'd just said something utterly profound and unheard of by the general public. Lol
@cpzpbx3
How do you know the asker has considered a breast pump?
I'm not saying she has or hasn't. I'm literally saying your phrasing was arrogant.
But if she hasn't considered a breast pump, she probably lives under a rock. They practically throw them at you in the hospital after you give birth if you say you're breastfeeding. Mostly because they make money if you get them from their apothecary.
@cpzpbx3
Well I'm sorry your delicate constitution was disturbed, by the delivery of my answer to another user.
Oh it didn't bother me a bit. Just made an observation, and explained why I disagreed with you in the first place.
@cpzpbx3
Lol sure.
People learn to fuck off with their unwanted harassment when they realise you are filming them on your I-phone.
You should be able to breastfeed in public if you want to. As you said, it's not only a sexual organ. For people to come up to you and say vulgar things like that is disgusting. It's literally just a natural thing that babies need to do.
It's a normal and natural thing to do. Ignore idiots like these. You're just feeding your baby, how is that inappropriate?
I don't care, but it really seems like more of a want than a true need. I would respect it more if people would just admit they want to do it instead of making it seem like its a matter of life and death. Just like people showing affection in public, its a want , not a need. I guess having sex in public will soon be legal, because the "I should be able to show affection wherever I want" argument
You're right, it is a want. I "want" to breastfeed because it's healthy for my baby, it's healthy for me, and because formula is fucking expensive. I'm not going to choose to give my baby sub-par nutrition because someone might be uncomfortable.
As for why I "want" to do it in public, it is quite simple: if I ever want to leave my house with my infant, I have to do so with the understanding that they MIGHT GET HUNGRY. Babies tend to do that. So if I have to choose between occasionally having to breastfeed my child in public, or staying home all the time--guess which one I choose? It's not like anyone can see anything anyway. I always do it in a secluded area if possible, and I never draw attention to myself. If someone wants to go out of their way to be offended by what I'm doing, I really don't give a fuck. Cry me a river.
You can literally see more of my tits when I have a low-cut top on and no child attached to them. Oddly enough, nobody has ever complained to me about THAT.
@cpzpbx3 You could actually take the time to fill up bottles if you wanted to, but you don't. Instead of admitting You believe the fucking world revolves around you and that you want to be able to do anything you want. At least own up to it and stop making it seem like its a real life or death need.
How about admitting that the world doesn't revolve around YOU and YOUR comfort level? If I'm not exposing my nipple (which you don't when you nurse) then I'm doing nothing wrong or illegal, and your discomfort is not my problem.
Also, pumping is actually extremely painful and time-consuming, and doesn't even express that much milk. My son also never really responded to a bottle even though we tried many different ones. It is so much easier to just find a place out of the way and nurse really quick if the baby is hungry. Why should I inconvenience myself and my child to such a degree just because some random crybaby MIGHT be offended? It's not like I'm walking around topless (which most of these same whiny men who bitch about nursing wouldn't actually even complain about). You can't see anything when a woman nurses, so comparing it to public sex is fallacious and inaccurate.
@cpzpbx3 You can have sex with clothes on not showing anything, but I bet a person will go to jail if they did, so its pretty accurate. .
Having sex is different than feeding an infant. This is not a difficult concept. I'm sorry you struggle with something so basic.
Also, I have literally nursed my son so discreetly sitting in a booth in a restaurant that I am positive no one even noticed, even though the place was crowded. I don't particularly WANT attention to be drawn to be, but I also don't want to be inconvenienced by my efforts to conceal what I'm doing--especially since I am NOT exposed while doing it, and don't see why it is such an issue. Is it that hard to mind your own damn business? Or are you so self-centered that you feel the whole world should cater to YOUR misguided ideas of what is appropriate?
@cpzpbx3 maybe they didn't care.
And sex is a natural thing just like breast feeding.
you should be able to breast feed where ever you are its a natural thing to do and people should support the nourishment of babies who don't understand the meaning of you need to wait
That's so fucked up. In my country, a woman breastfeeding her baby naturally is seen as something that's perfectly normal.
in Peru you see titties all the time, it's america that's stupid and guess what the women don't even get harassed its a normal thing no one cares
You can do it. its just a baby sucking for milk, not a man sucking for pleasure
So you ladies would be okay with a fat hairy chested man breast-feeding in public (men can lactate and wet nurse too).
fat hairy chested men are allowed to walk around shirtless all the time for no reason at all so i fail to even see your point
@xobrowneyedbeauty my point is that there's gonna be a fat hairy chick who decides to breastfeed if we allow it to be legal. There's already enough gross shit in public.
ah just as i expected - a very childish response
@xobrowneyedbeauty how is that childish? My argument is that it's a slippery slope when we allow women to breast feed in public. I don't want to lose my lunch when I go for a walk in the park. Nor to I want to be grossed out when eating on the patio of a restaurant when I see some gross woman in public breast feeding. I have a right to go out and not be disgusted by the people who can't go somewhere private to breastfeed.
it's childish because it's a very immature, closed-minded, and selfish view of the topic.
@John_Doesnt
So what?
a slippery slope is a fallacy.
churchm.ag/.../...acies-slippery-slope-620x384.jpg
@jacquesvol not really a fallacy because it happens all the time.
If it happens all the time and it hurts nobody, why not accept it?
Breastfeeding is natural just do it.
Don't cover up you have nothing to be ashamed off.
There is no question, of course mothers should be able to breastfeed freely in public.
If someone doesn't like it, they don't look. It's that simple.
It's a natural thing, and the baby needs to be fed.
Nice take. YES. BREASTFEEDING IS NATURAL AND NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF...
I find it a bit awkward if the woman is fully exposing her breast, but honestly I don't really care
Go out to the car well on the other hand stay here, the waiter didn't put any milk in my bowl. Lean over and let me pour some in my bowl
It's a natural process between mother and child. Let them do it
It should be possible, but at the very least cover up.
Do you like to eat with a blanket over your head? My baby doesn't either.
Also, you can't see anything when a woman breastfeeds. Obviously the baby is covering just about all of it. If you can't handle a little side boob, you need to put on your big boy panties and get over it.
@cpzpbx3 Might as well cover my knob and piss in public then... no one can see the end of it, so it doesn't count!
If you honestly struggle to identify the difference between urinating and feeding a child, then you are not mature enough to be having this conversation.
@cpzpbx3 Oh cry me a river.
In my country that's a perfectly normal thing. And I live in the land of the Church, so there are not even any religious things against it.
I would have phoned the police.
