It depends how it's done. I occasionally had to breastfeed in public, but nobody ever saw my bosom, I used to carry a large scarf to cover the baby's head.

mutter:

Femmy, after squeezing and sucking your mothers bosom you now want to deprive other babies of the same? The joy of bosom feeding is not just the milk but also the body contact the baby has. So if you are so particular about hiding the baby under a cloth I hope the baby is still content and not suffocating under the cloth. That does not mean one should fling their bosom out indiscriminately.
No third party can stop me from giving my baby what it wants and what is good for it, anytime or anywhere.

As a mother (and probably a more mature one) your uncouth manner of addressing another, and specifically your rude reference to his mother is disturbing. Everyone has the right to an opinion, besides, Femmy did not state others should not br[i]e[/i]ast feed in public. He stated his opinion. Get it? HIS opinion. Next time, consider that, engage your brain before you open that gape in your face, and castigate someone else, and refer to their mother in such a derogatory manner!

Ok now, with our generation, i do not think it is apropriate for a lady to bring out her bosom gbaga!!!! in public all in the name of bosom-feeding a child, don't get me wrong i bosom fed outside, but in a secluded place, where no one would see me, moreover, there are so many things that you could use to coverup the ''good ladies''.

@OP
When did your bosom become a sight of death? What is wrong in sighting a bosom, woman or man? The world is turning into something trivially idiotic that seeing a bosom or a woman bosom-feeding a baby is now sacrilegious.

Siena:

I think you're missing the point here. Obviously the purpose of this thread went right over your head.

I was in the banking hall once--a very public place by most standards--when the lady seated next to me, perhaps in an effort to quieten her noisy baby, whipped out the WHOLE DAMN THING and shoved it into the baby's mouth

Dede1:

I do not know how you and the poster arrived to conclusion that publicly breastfeeding a baby violates common standard of decency. Again, what is indecency in breastfeeding a baby in the public and who the hell set such common standard of decency such action violates? Probably eating any food in public also violates common standard of decency.
Ironically it is appears there are too many goofy people on family section of this forum.

a reason why nursing mothers need to wear large, loose blouses when going out with their baby.

in addition, breastmilk can be bottlefed these days.
