Why is breastfeeding in public frowned upon?

Question

Why is breastfeeding in public frowned upon by so many people when it’s a natural thing? Should women be allowed to do it in public? Here is a link to a social experiment with breastfeeding.

I have seen everything from women who nonchalantly whip out both their naked breasts to feed their babies to conservative mothers using scarves and blankets to cover up or going into fitting rooms or other places out of sight to feed their babies. None of it bothers me at all! Breastfeeding is a strictly functional process of making sure an infant has proper nourishment and it has got absolutely NOTHING to do with sex, indecent exposure or anything disgusting so, if you think it's acceptable to starve an innocent little baby by hindering and harassing a it's mother who is trying feed it, I suggest that you all go home and start a blog and make your rants there because women are not going to stop feeding and caring for their babies because a perfect stranger can't accept that. Just saying!

Bruh, these comments. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Breastfeeding is tf normal. y'all are out here fuckin in public places and freeing the WHOLE nipple but y'all are sensitive about a mom breastfeeding? While I personally wouldn't do it because I feel like that would be special time for me and my baby, I'm damn sure not gonna shame the next mom. And FYI, all babies don't like to be covered. Most of them pull the covers off or get fussy being covered. It's hot and uncomfortable. If it happens to be an emergency and I do have to publically breastfeed I wish someone would say something to me about covering my baby!!!

I can't believe this is even still an issue. When I was a kid in the 60s, it was common (the hippie chicks did it a lot). Even my prudish mother didn't make a big deal out of it as long as they weren't blatantly exposing themselves more than necessary. And now 50 years later it's still an issue? Come on now, that's absurd.

Society as a whole has moved soooo far to the left since then, but this trivial issue still persists. People seriously need to get over a few square centimeters of skin that looks exactly like the skin on the forehead or back of the hand. If they are seeing anything other than a content little baby bonding with it's mother, something is wrong.

I voted "no" because your options did not account for whether the breast feeding is done discreetly or whether mama flops her tit out for all the world to see. I have observed women breast feeding in public but with a drape that shields their breast from the view of others. There is absolutely nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public as long as it does not serve as an occasion for some unnecessary exhibitionism.

nightdrot · Answer

Why is eating spaghetti with your hands in a restaurant frowned upon? Because it is bad manners. Just because you can do it and it is "natural" does not mean it is appropriate in all times and places.

Frankly, the current view of public breastfeeding is a - historically speaking - relatively recent development. Moreover, there are at least some indications that it may be changing.

That all said, the notion that it is some offense against women and nature that public breastfeeding is not approved of is absurd. Urination is natural too, I'd just rather not see it on my front lawn.

madhatters4 · Answer

there should be an aim to be as inconspicuous as possible but beyond some woman standing in line at mcdonald's with a child hanging from their boob there should be no consternation about breast feeding in public.

Allie_Oops · Answer

Get over it. It's a natural occurring phenomenon. If you don't like it then don't look.

GinaEdwards · Answer

I loved the comments from the few men in this comment section that clearly knew where breast were biologically created for in the first place, I also saw a lot of comments saying that breastfeeding in public should be covered up because it is common decency to others around them etc. some had even compared an exposed breast to basically any other body part example that did not serve any purpose to baby feeding needs...

Most of the people who made these type of comments had neglected the needs of a baby, yes sure you can find it disgusting to look at a breast feeding women and her child in public but no one ''No one'' forced you to look at it, the moms who are breastfeed in public are doing what they are suppose to do, they are putting the needs of their own child first breast feeding is necessary an other lifeforms, mothers cannot be selfish to their babies needs because breast milk is a necessity and we should respect that, if breastfeeding to a baby was irrelevant to a babies needs it would be a different story but it is not, therefor it comment to respect any mother just trying to do her job and care for the baby wherever it is needed.

I respect breast feeding moms in public and so should you

SnowyOwl · Answer

All woman saying it's disgusting, check inside your shirt and tell me how horrible the view is. The body is not disgusting (1). Those girls at the mall in the video, shame to them, because they must have so little self-love that they feel the need to project it onto others.
I see many woman saying it's ok but the mom should cover. Why? Don't tell me you never saw breast before. And if you really haven't, know you were a hungry baby once, and I hope your mom didn't hesitate to feed you. If you're not comfortable seeing a part of the human body, because you think it's disgusting or you think it's a sexual taboo of some sort, then you need to work on: your self esteem and or your self control. Your discomfort comes from your mind being corrupted by the ideas of your culture, the ideas of others.

It's the same for kids, if they understand the purpose of breastfeeding then they won't feel uncomfortable. If people around them don't make it taboo, then it won't be.

It's only disgusting in your head, it's only oversexualized in your head. Try to understand the bigger picture. The baby is hungry, the mom feeds him. Every other animal does the same. And yes, we are animals, we breastfeed, we're not metal, we're not robots. So work on your perspective, and your misconceptions, because there's nothing wrong with a mother fulfilling her duty.

CubsterShura · Answer

I'd say no. While it's true that breastfeeding is natural and there's nothing to be embarrassed about it, it doesn't change the fact that breasts are still sexual and a very private part of the body, and the convenience of public breastfeeding is not worth the creepy stares of perverted men. I don't want states at my baby especially! Remember, they don't care about breastfeeding they just wanna enjoy looking at an exposed breast.

It is not very practical either. It can leave a woman at a very vulnerable state. Covering is not always a good idea especially if the weather is hot, and you may risk suffocating the baby.

The alternative to public breastfeeding would be pumping milk in a bottle, which is lengthy and tough. Despite trying so hard you can barely fill half of a small bottle. So that doesn't work either. Better not use formula if the baby is not not 6 months old yet.

I believe that we need more nursing rooms in places, so wherever mothers go with their babies they have a place to sit comfortably and breastfeed their babies. Oh and it has to be in a secure place to keep creepy dudes away from there.

You can't compare breastfeeding with pooping. If you're grown up then you can control yourself until you can get to the bathroom but babies don't understand that and they will cry for milk when they are hungry wherever you go. I'm not sure if I want to continue breastfeeding my babies when they learn to speak because then they will ask for milk in front of people and that would be so awkward especially if they are loud and obstinate.

Sbgirl · Answer

I've seen experiments like this before. And it really angers me. Personally, if were to ever breastfeed, I'd probably cover myself as much as I can (personal preference) and my mum always covered with a blanket when she fed me in public. But what the general consensus seems to be when the examples given are a breast feeding mother and a woman in a low cut top is that because breastfeeding isn't a sexually appealing thing, its seen as disgusting, whilst the women with the boobs out at least gives something nice for the men to look at. Well, newsflash people but breasts are actually there for the purpose of feeding babies. That's their function. They are not a sexual organ. Whilst it is ok for a man to admire aspects of a woman's body, and breasts do have appeal to them, they are a sexual organ, they are there to produce milk if the time comes.

Society has such mixed opinions on these things. There are magazines and television that are showing breasts as sexual e. g. porn, magazines, etc. But meanwhile, many people hold the view that 'breast is best' and they should be giving their babies the best nutrition possible (its perfectly ok to bottle feed a baby if that suits you better though). If we want this, why aren't mums allowed to do this in public? Their nipples won't even be out for long because the baby will be sucking it.
I think its disgraceful breastfeeding mums are shamed. They're raising the next generation on the nutrition that's there for this reason.

Ljd213 · Answer

I feel that it should be okay but I am a curious dude and if I am just strolling by and women breastfeeding a baby popped in my face. I don't want to be called names such as "Pervert" or a woman looking at me with a face of fear just because she was in my field of vision for about a second.

A great example would be: if I am at work with a lady that brought her babies to work. She likes talking to me and then she wants to talk to me while breastfeeding her baby, I am sorry but I will stare at titties sometimes because it's in my face.

Also, If I put my hand up to my face to block the vision of her chest area, I feel that the lady would be heavily offended I did such and thing and tell me to grow up.

I also feel like Americans are going to find a way to troll breastfeeding rights such as pranks where girls running around shooting breastmilk at everyone. Or girls shooting breastmilk on someone's food, drink or coffee if they don't like them.

Also, you know there are going to be some lazy ones in public transits such as breastmilk stains all over train seats and such. It could potentially be a biological hazard for those breastfeeders who have HIV or other STDs.

Mombie · Answer

Breast feeding is totally natural.
I have done it many times. 90% of the time no one says or reacts any different.
Its not like I'm whipping my tit out and showing off my nipple or waving them around in the air. I'm literally feeding a hungry baby.. So using my boobs for EXACTLY WHAT THEYRE MADE FOR!
It you dont like it, dont look. Or go somewhere else. Its fucking 2018. Women can wear nipple stickers out in public with no top on but god forbid a mother feed her child without a blanket over their head.
Its fucking stupid.

Izumiblu · Answer

Lol I completely don’t understand why this has to be such a topic of concern.

It is legal in all 50 states for women to breast feed in public.

However, private property is not subject to public law in this regard. An owner of private property may choose to set rules that prevent it just like they can say no food or drink allowed.

For every woman I’ve ever noticed breast feeding in public I’ve seen 50 articles threads questions complaining about the fact some people don’t like it. You no more have the right to tell them what they should think is ok than they do to tell you what isn’t ok.

Do what you are going to do.

SkyeMind · Answer

To me, this is also a cultural and religious thing.

I find breastfeeding to be natural, I think it should be done discreetly in public. It's a private moment, but yet a normal moment.

We have booths here in Sweden, for the ones who wants to use them, otherwise we breastfeed openly with the shirt pulled down just above the baby's face. Others put their blanket over. It's really not a hard thing to do.

Breasts are sexual, always have been, more so in some areas of the world than in others. I'm however raised in the 80s with topless being the normal occurrence on beaches. To me, there is an incredibly heightened drama around this, nowadays.
Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it needs to be flaunted in people's faces.
Use common sense. Be respectful (goes both ways).

Reset "normal".

Minnie97 · Answer

Society views breasts as a sexual thing, so when a woman "exposes" herself in public instead of everyone having the mindframe that she's just feeding her young the way any other mammal does they automatically get the thought that she shouldn't be exposing herself and she needs to cover up or go elsewhere. Breast are meant for babies. If a mother wants or needs to feed her child she should be allowed to do so wherever and whenever she deems fit regardless if she decides to cover herself or not. Her child needs to eat, people can get the hell over themselves.

PinkMichae · Answer

It should be a private thing for mother and child. Just because it's natural it's still a private part of a woman's body. It's fine if you're discrete and not showing your whole breast. But my kids don't need to see a woman tits. Women did it for years discretely just fine. But now women are entitled, selfish, and lazy. They care about them and what they consider an inconvenience to cover themselves. They don't care about other kids. My vagina is natural too but I'm not having sex in public because I'm naturally making a baby. Most normal parents teach their kids that boobs, butts, penises and vaginas are private parts you don't show to strangers. Unless it's an emergency situation there's no need to pull your tit out for everyone to see.

Anonymous · Answer

Feeding a baby is like peeing or having sex. It's a normal body activity, but people would rather not watch people do their business or excrete fluids. The breast is a sexual organ to adults, plain and simple. I could walk by a mother breastfeeding just fine because I'm an aunt so I've seen it. Men will probably stare tho. I can understand it from both sides. It's natural but it's also distracting because it's an exposed squishy boob. We may just have to accept that this debate has no right or wrong. Moms, just do what you like!

Lilyanony · Answer

Because breast are amazing. They look good when full and plumped, they nurse you/your child. There is a lot more to breast than you think, they are so magical. They are sacred.
We all know this deep down. Hence the various feelings people feel when they see them. Mostly intimidation though. The female body is so capable of so much things we all know but I believe so much more. Don't think I'm discrediting men I'm not, I don't know what it feels like to be a man. But the energy and love a mother presents when Brest feeding especially it makes others uncomfortable. It's deeper than just Brest in my opinion

JZ909 · Answer

I don't agree with most public decency laws anyway, and think women should be able legally walk around topless regardless of if they're breastfeeding or not. However, even if I didn't think that, I don't know how breastfeeding would not get a pass. Feeding babies is a necessary part of our existence as a species, and breastfeeding is the natural way to do it. Of course you could argue that sex is too, but humanity doesn't exactly need people to have sex every couple hours in order for us to survive, so we can arrange for it to be more discrete.

Benedek38 · Answer

Should sex be legal in public?
Why not? I thought that's perfectly natural, too!

Mothers with babies are already the most entitled people on the planet, I encounter them on a daily basis shoving people aside with their baby carriages, and they are totally smug about it... ugh! Don't take it personally, there are obviously NOT annoying mothers out there, but many succumb to the "motherly superiority" syndrome, where they think they can do whatever the fuck they want.

So, they are already at the peak of entitlement, and you want to give them even MORE bullshit rights?

OK, let's play this game. Abolish public indecency as an offense, and we can talk about breastfeeding.

daydreammarie · Answer

Nope. It's disgusting to see a mother feeding her baby in public. I can not believe the audacity of some people the fact they just freely whip their boobs out to feed their crying baby so it doesn't go hungry and calms them down. Like how dare they. I was in Victoria secret one time and I the conner of my eye right by the big poster of the model modeling the underwear there was this lady and she was breast feeding right there in the middle of the store it was unbelievable I am still scared from it. It was an awful experience.

Udbhav_Bantwal · Answer

Men are disgusting. Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural thing, if anyone in public is uncomfortable then they should just leave because it's their problem not the mother's problem. Babies don't have a particular schedule on when they need to be fed, so often times they need to be fed when they are in public and if not then the baby will start crying and cause a scene, all I see is disgrace upon people who frown on public breastfeeding. Laws and society should not interfere with natural things like this.

SirRexington · Answer

There was this one woman in Cracker Barrel who was breastfeeding her baby at the table but she had this specially made cover that went over her shoulder to cover the act even though you knew what she was doing you couldn't see it occur. I thought it was an incredible invention and a responsible way of breastfeeding your kid in public.

I don't support free the nipple or slutty attire either by the way and I understand the difference between that and breastfeeding. But still, don't show your tits in public. That is a sacred moment for her and her kid.

Florancerose404 · Answer

I breastfeed my son no matter where he is if he’s hungry or thirsty he has it on demand as I exclusively feed.

I don’t cover his face or my boob because well frankly he’d pull it away not to mention it’d be hugely uncomfortable for my son especially on a hot day. Imagine being sat with a sheet over your head whilst you eat or drink your food I’m pretty sure it’d annoy the hell out of you.

RoeyD · Answer

I think it should be allowed at some point, and in some places and not now. I don't want any woman or baby to be assaulted during that, so if you don't educate people, don't show that it is normal or don't educate to be ethical and help if help is needed, it won't end up very well sometimes and it's not a good option for that reason. You can't deny the fact that there are people who would hurt you. Your right to live and be safe is much more than the right to breastfeed in public. How can the countries keep you safe if a rapist would try to rape you? Think about that. You would try to cover it, and you would try not to be in a crowded place so it would be even easier to rape you. You could be sexually harrassed. It's definitely a thing I would be worried about if it was allowed in my country. I think you should wait a bit, figure out how to solve some problems first and then allow it.

Cuteusernamehere · Answer

Feed your kid whenever they're hungry 🤷‍♀️ I only notice when a babies crying and I look to see why lol
Most people that complain are women who don't want their men looking at another's boobs in public. Most guys could careless. There's plenty of other boobs to see that aren't spoken for 😂

leMadPotterHattress · Answer

I remember reading an article a while ago, that suggested that the reason some men don't approve of public breastfeeding, is because the thought of a women's breasts being out for something other than his own enjoyment upsets him. I've never forgotten it

Anonymous · Answer

Because in our society breasts aren't seen as a tool to sustain a tiny life, they're seen only as something sexual.

I've heard my boyfriends brother in law shame his own wife about how brazen she was about breast feeding their baby while out for dinner. She had none of his shit and told him "ok I'll go pump, come back and you can either go sit in the bathroom and feed her or go sit in the hot car and feed her, either way she will start crying, so you have fun with that. Ill sit here and enjoy eating my meal. Or i can feed my baby whenever she's hungry in the quickest and easiest way."

I usually tell people "Dont like it? then you dont have to look at them."

Emmdk · Answer

Yes!  People who say it's nasty/unnatural and so on, are the nasty ones. Perverts sexualizing feeding your child. It's the most natural thing in the world and people should relax and go home to rub one out if it turns them on so much instead of complaining like little bitches

ryancg · Answer

While I don't have a problem with it, I suppose if I think about it I could understand where some people might. I guess some people would rather not be reminded of the fact that the tits on a female of any mammal are actually for feeding their young and not the "fun bags" they usually like to think of them as. When they see a woman breastfeeding her child, it's hard not to draw the comparison of a cow or dog or some other less savory animal. And no, that's not me comparing women to livestock, I'm simply trying my best to explain other people's thinking. I could very well be wrong, this is just the best and most rational conclusion I could come up. Now then, I invite the downvotes and/or insults from anyone who hasn't bothered to actually read and understand what I've just said.

dandee55 · Answer

Yes. To all those saying "they're showing too much" or "it's indecent", etc., when the baby is nursing, it's mouth is covering the nipple, so there's no nudity. And how much time is it between "freeing the nipple" and putting it in the child's mouth? 15 seconds (or less)? Plus, a lot of times, the mother lifts up her top on one breast, so that basically covers the top of her boob and the baby's head basically covers the bottom part.  But, if she's in church... Most churches have a nursery where they should go to do it. I mean, the root of "nursery" is "nurse".  In the state I live in, there's a chain of supermarkets that have a "mother's room" between the restrooms, where moms can breastfeed (or change diapers) in privacy. But, personally, I have no problem with them doing it in public as well.

TripleAce · Answer

Who has such an idiotic sense to actually stop and make a negative comment... I’ve never seen that before lol... I mean I’d just walk by... EVEN if I did find that disgusting, which I don’t, I still wouldn’t say anything... Ehhhh cause like who cares... These people who said something seem to be the overly opinionated ones that don’t know when to shut up at a party

blasiangirl12 · Answer

If my baby is hungry, I'm gonna feed my baby. I'm not letting my child starve because of what the public think. If you don't want to look, turn your face. It's a natural thing so I don't see why there should be a problem.

BrittBratt2416 · Answer

my mom thinks breastfeeding is okay, but all the women in my family lay a thin cloth over their breast/shoulder so no one can see their baby eating. They don't want strangers to look at their breasts, that's only meant for their husbands to see. Also people consider breasts to be sexual, the sight of breast gets men riled up and even some women, so that's why people think it's best to do it privately.

talltom94 · Answer

Because as a society we've sexualized them so much that we see boobs, we're more likely to think sex, which is obviously not appropriate in league with kids, but if you see boobs for what they actually are, and not what we've made them be associated with, they couldn't be more appropriate for kids 😂 it's basically the packaging for a babies meal 😂 they fact that some people say "boobs aren't suitable for kids" is pathetic, they couldn't be more suitable if you remove the idea that they're about sex.

Lovi87 · Answer

Pricks. I'd tell them to fuck right off.  She is feeding her baby.  If women didn't have children,  we'd ALLLLLLL be flat chested.  "That's hot" and "That's disgusting."  Should have said, "Well you best not be  out in public either then, because you're disgusting yourself, mate."

Servus09 · Answer

Very few people care or have strong feelings against breastfeeding in public. The media just likes to report on isolated incidents because big milky tits generate views to their articles. A couple years ago I read a story about this hot mom who had a professional photographer take pictures of herself breastfeeding her babies. Nothing wrong with that, except she shared the photos on her Facebook page, and when people saw her giant gazongas they left all kinds of nasty comments. No worries though, the media gallantly saved the day by writing dozens of articles, all of which featured pictures of her massive jugs for the world to see. Now we get to fantasize about those delicious hooters. Err-I mean, we get to have an open dialogue about breastfeeding in public.

snowangle · Answer

Yes, it should be acceptable for women to do in public. Any sane person should prefer a child getting fed over a hungry child screaming next to them. And yes, they should be allowed to do it anywhere, without having to excuse themselves. If they want to cover, fine, but if their baby doesn't like the cover (many don't) then no big deal. It's a normal and natural thing.

Anonymous · Answer

huh.. well i always see people breastfeeding in public it's completely normal and nobody gets disgusted or whatever here. there is always a cloth to cover which i think its important bc come on people are either gonna think it's gross or they're gonna think sexually - it's nearly impossible to change what people truly think yk.  and lets say babies get their milk from a dude's ball. ain't nobody wanna see that 🤷‍♀️ i know a lot of people don't agree with me because it's "natural" but i still think you should cover and yes i agree that breastfeeding should be OK in public

AnimalFanatic · Answer

I think it's fine. It's natural and when i have the chance to have a child i'll breast feed wherever i am. I'm not covering up if i don't want to. I'll try to keep my nipple covered with my shirt but for when i am latching the baby on that nipple needs to be out.  I'd only use a cover if it's cold and the baby was a bit cold. I'm not making my baby overheat under a blanket on a hot summer day though. You don't like it? Don't look. Easy enough.

This is one of the silliest and most immature controversies out there. I have yet to encounter anyone across Europe who even remotely has a problem with this. Americans...

Vesuvius87 · Answer

It's as natural as taking a pee or doing # 2.  However, do we do this publicly proudly go around telling everyone about it? I don't think so. The same goes for breastfeeding. Yes, it's normal but there needs to be some discretion. If I were a mother, this would be a special moment between my child and I.

markscott · Answer

It amazes me that people have a problem with breastfeeding. It's normal and natural, and very good for the baby. It helps establish good health for the baby. How amyone can be Okay with skimpy clothing, but find breast feeding disgusting, is beyond me.

angelin · Answer

Breast feeding is ok just cover and be decent about your breasts being exposed because most people, men and women alike find breast to be a sexual thing and for arousal. Breast feeding is neither but still it’s uncomfortable to most and can be distracting as well. So happily feed your babies in anywhere but with courtesy in decency.

aicarg · Answer

Reading through these comments biwilders me.  I see so many people out in public go braless and make it noticeable by wearing a sheer top /white tee... but for some reason when a mom chooses to feed her child which is a BIOLOGICALLY PHYSICAL need, people shame the mom with uncomfortable looks. If there is no place to feed the child, if the child is frolicking and doesn't want to be covered while feeding, who is to shame a mom in doing her duty to nurture her child?

englisc · Answer

It's frowned upon because boobs have become overly sexualised in our culture. Dumb people think that they're sex organs and as a result even if they know that they're there to feed babies, which many people are too stupid to realise, they see it as kind of perverted and therefore something that should be done in private - just like sex. Pretty fucked up if you ask me.

Jisoo_lover5683 · Answer

I was watching a movie with my friend the other day and there was a scene when the lady was breastfeeding her child. He was like “omg, you didn’t tell me there’s nudity in this!” In a joking tone.  I just told him “she’s feeding her child, leave her be, it’s natural.” Because it is. It’s better to have a well fed baby than a screaming baby next to you in the train so suck it up people. Breast feeding is for the purpose of feeding offspring, not for a show.

aishsh · Answer

Yeah according to me breastfeeding in public is absolutely fine there is nothing that sorts of crosses a line but it's the social stigma we have in our mind that whenever we see breasts all we can think about is sex we should have a control over our mind and we should understand that connecting everything with sex is a sign of sick mentality.

DakotaNorth · Answer

Being totally honest, I have seen many women breastfeeding, the majority of which it's so casual it just looks like they're holding their baby close to them. The only way you'll see nipples is if YOU look too close to where it is really none of your business.

CaffeinatedCactus · Answer

I think a mother should feed her baby whenever and wherever she feels is appropriate! It's not our business. If she is comfortable having a stranger glance.. cuz that's the kind of world we live in. But I think its natural and doesn't bother me.

Gypsy_x · Answer

If people struggle that much with diverting their eyes from an infant suckling on their mother's breast, then I think society has some serious problems.

CandacePerry · Answer

Its part of life and someplace don't even have a private room. or will be too hot. They should let mum breastfeed. If people going be a pussy about it then add lactation room or club. if fucking ok to do it public. I don't like when a people fucking a child around.

ThatPersonOverThere · Answer

Taking a shit is natural too, and nobody is arguing that we should do that publicly... Having sex is natural, are we going to do that in public? If you support it fine, but don't use the "It's natural" argument if you're going to be selective with it. Either "It's natural" is a valid argument which applies across the board, or it's an idiotic one that you need to stop using.

cherryphi82 · Answer

Bananaman177 · Answer

When a woman is breastfeeding, every man in the area has to be conscious of the fact that they can't look over in her direction. You have to keep your head pointed the other way, and sometimes that's not convenient depending on seating arrangements. It's just annoying to force other people to enforce your own privacy for you, to force other people to protect your dignity for you.

ipecaclust · Answer

That video is so fake. They're literally saying the exact same thing and he's blurring their faces clearly so that people don't know its people in his family/friends group he's having say the exact same phrase over and over again. People aren't actually this verbal in real life. And even if they were there's be far more variation in word choice as oppose to everyone saying "disgusting."

JoanSH · Answer

It is a controversial topic. First of all: Yes, it is normal, but also a personal action, like going to the bathroom. I'm not agree about that thing saying "Its not acceptable". Cause it already is, the first months of child life they depends of breastfeeding, AND some situations can't be delayed. Conclusion, it's normal and shouldn't be frowned UP, but even though it should be considered like a mid-private action.

rjroy3 · Answer

As long as it's socially acceptable to stare and no one is going to get shit for being a "creep" then I don't care. It's a twofold issue. Because you know people are going to have it both ways. "Why can't I just feed my child without guys staring at me?". Well, most people don't have to get naked before feeding their kids in public lol.

Boobies are not scary people. The sight of them will not bring about the end of the world. They will not cause you to go blind. And if you can’t help but stare, then maybe you’re the one who should go to a special room so the breasts feeding mom doesn’t have to feel uncomfortable.

I mean, we are allowed to do it.  Should we all go tribal, walk around shirtless and feed the baby at the restaurant, during working hours at our desk or whenever, wherever we please? I'm inclined to say no. As for the argument which is made often enough "it is natural", I can only say "so is pooping".
