Would the police be called if a woman was caught breastfeeding in public?

[Anonymous]

Or would the woman at least be berated by the public?

This seems to be a catastrophe in many parts of the USA.

A blessing, or at least acceptable in most other countries. But a catastrophe and even a felony in many US states. 🤔

Breastfeeding is natural. But me personally, I would cover my boob while feeding in public. I wouldn't feel right whipping out my nipple in front of any of my guy family members or strangers so... that's just me.

But a woman should be able to feed her child without being berated whether she covers or not.

[TonyMetal___86]

Started it right and ended up wrong!
I do berate a woman if she does such thing without being covered unless she was an animal!

[andersopau]

@TonyMetal___86 explains why your relationship status is listed as single.

[TonyMetal___86]

@andersopau what does this have to do with being single, who told you that i even want a relationship?

Also why are you bothered sh*thead?

You know what, you're blocked! I don't need fools like you who appears from nowhere to judge me why i'm single or not 😒

[andersopau]

@TonyMetal___86 im so pained being blocked by you. Im so sad. LOL

[Apple1996]

Breastfeeding is legal in public in all 50 states 😊

I feed my kids all the time in public. It's no big deal. Most people don't even notice tbh

[Asker]

The other users answering this question beg to differ.

They say it's a disgrace, and nobody wants to see it.

[Apple1996]

Could care less if they don't want to see it. My son is underweight and will literally starve if he doesn't get breastfed often

[Asker]

Some foolish people suggest giving toddlers a candy bar instead, as seeing a "certain thing" in public would give them a heart attack.

[Apple1996]

That is just dumb. Breastmilk is best for babies

[andersopau]

I find it very refreshing to see your feelings on this. It’s natural to breastfeed and people shouldn’t get hung up on seeing it done in public.

[Asker]

@andersopau this Tony Metal guy below is disgusted by it, and has the attitude of an "incel"

[andersopau]

That can be his problem! There is always gonna be “that guy” but for me, ladies, feed away. It’s totally natural and healthy. I see no problem with it done in public.

[TonyMetal___86]

@asker , if my opinion makes me an incel to you than i'm glad to be this incel who will always be like a needle in your eye!

[Mr_twoface]

There are so many issues in the US these days. When I was in my teens, everyone wanted to move to the land of opportunity and seemed to love it. Today the US doesn't even attract me.

In Sweden its freaking natural and no one cares to call the police. Nor will the police interfere.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Laws are set up my towns and municipalities, or unincorporated areas under the county/parish authority. There is no monolithic standard on that in the U. S, so it would depend entirely on where it occurs.

[AlcoholicAngel]

The only problem any body should have is if it is either in a gov building (courthouse, parliament, etc.) or when both breasts are out while only one is being used. Then again, the last one could be a comfort thing, I wouldn't know, I've only ever worn a bra once to see what it felt like (fucking torture, and that's before I filled it up with fruit).

[TonyMetal___86]

It depends on the rules in each country...
Personally i believe that a woman shouldn't breastfeed in public cause popping her boob out just like this is too much, there must be public rest rooms for women or at least to hide her boob under a small blanket or her husband covers his wife while breastfeeding...

[Apple1996]

I would never feed my baby in a bathroom or cover up

[TonyMetal___86]

@Apple1996 not bathroom, a special place for breastfeeding and where's the problem in covering up? 🤔 you wanna breastfeed or show your boobs to people?

[Apple1996]

No baby wants to eat in a bathroom or with a cover on. Would you want to eat that way?

[TonyMetal___86]

@Apple1996 not a bathroom, a proper room for breastfeeding and the cover ain't for the baby, it's for your boob since it's a private part of a woman's body and should not be revealed in front of evryone in public...

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Is not it funny how totally natural and sweet process is so sexualized and demonized?

[V_Injector]

I'd just stream it live on Facebook.

Love me some big milkers

[EmmaMary]

As I always say...Only In America.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

It all depends on who she was breastfeeding!

[Katie1964]

Most women won't openly breast feed in public but if she did most people wouldn't object, at least in America.

[TonyMetal___86]

It's not a matter of objection but it ain't polite to breastfeed in public and if you had to than it shouldn't be visible to others...

Popping your boobs out in front of everyone ain't something that i support at all!

[Katie1964]

@TonyMetal___86 Well like I said most women in America will not openly breast feed. The will cover-up or find a private room.

That being said, its not a big deal anyway. Everyone has a chest and everyone has nipples, why is that so offensive to you?

[Asker]

I think he's of a certain religion...

[TonyMetal___86]

@Katie1964 why do you always starts good and end up bad 🤣, i'll stick your first paragraph that you wrote...

It's true that we all have a chest and nipples, but men's chest is totally different than a woman's boobs andnare useless and not sexual 😏

Do you know why the majority of women cover their boobs or find a private place because deep inside they know that it's not right...

I support breastfeeding for sure but only the way that you have described 1st...

[TonyMetal___86]

@asker , i'm a christian catholic but i'm not that religious and my opinion ain't influenced by my religion...

Respect and being decent comes with and without religion!

[Katie1964]

@TonyMetal___86 I can, and do, respect your opinion. Which is why, in my opinion, most women do cover up or find a private place.

When I was nursing my babies, I was not concerned if someone saw me. I just didn't want to offend someone who had beliefs like yours. Not saying anything is wrong with you beliefs but they are just different than mine.

I also would disagree that a man's chest is useless or not sexual. If find men's, especially Hubby's, chest very attractive.

[TonyMetal___86]

Good for you miss @Katie1964 , we all have our fetishes haha
It's not only respect towards me but it's self respect too!
I'm glad because you're a decent lady and do not listen to feminism trash 🙂

[RSav4013]

I see people breastfeeding in public some times. As long as they are covered with a feeding blanket or cover its not an issue

[RSav4013]

Regarding the update: It's not considered a blasphemy or catastrophic in most US states. It seems clear that you made your mind up before you even posted the question. Literally everyone is telling you there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a mother doing her duty.

[TadCurious]

I would like to think that if some inconsiderate prudes called the police that they wouldn't do anything.

[Asker]

And America is full of them.

The only country I can think of where people not only despise nudity, breastfeeding, but can't and won't mind their own business.

[midnightmoon05]

What’s the law for feeding your baby in public?

[Asker]

Indecent exposure?

[midnightmoon05]

Sure. Take me away… 😂

[NamerOfStars]

Okay, now you're just trolling. Can't you people even America-bash cleverly? I assure you, the country has REAL problems.

[Mangospacho]

I don’t think women get berated for breastfeeding in public like the internet makes it seem.

[Jessica405]

Perfectly ok in UK. As long as it is discrete. Happens frequently in the cafes in town.

[TonyMetal___86]

That's the true act of decency, DISCRETE and not showing everyone your boobs and how you're breastfeeding...

[sheikalana]

I don't think that breastfeeding your baby is a crime. Is it? Maybe in the US is I don't know.

[hbkfan]

As long as nothing is publicly visible it's not illegal it is only indecent exposure if the goods are visible so no

[handsomelad70]

In goober Yankee places, yes, but save kinda Yankee-like Alberta, in most of Canada, unlikely.

[nawtee_me]

It depends on what she was breastfeeding I guess…. A baby? Probably not…. A baby panda? Probably so…. lol

[legalboxers]

[KrakenAttackin]

Um... no. Americans have babies and we are not hysterical about breastfeeding.

[Anonymous]

They could be. I've seen cops called for a whole lot less.

[Anonymous]

It's legal as far as I know. I have no issues a woman feeding her kid.

[FunkyMonkee]

I wouldn't count on it.

[exitseven]

No I see it sometimes.

[verylovelyguy]

no. it's totally fine

[DreamLife7]

No, and I'm in the US you must be in a box

[electromagnetic]

Nope.

[Pterodon]

Not in my state

[ThatGreekGirl1996]

No it’s not illegal.

[Shedzij567]

Not here

[shortster]

They shouldn't be
