If the baby is crying in public and wants to be fed, you should've thought of that ahead of time and kept a bottle in a diaper bag.
There's no real excuse for it. It's inapropriate and disgusting. I do not want to see some kid sucking tit while I'm flying a kite or riding my bike.
Nobody's asking you to stare. To be honest you're pretty immature if you can't cope with someone breastfeeding while you're out and about. (BTW, if you're riding your bike you really should be concentrating on other things, road safety anyone??).
There's no excuse? it's called FEEDING A BABY. Lots of babies prefer to breastfeed, as do some mothers, and the health benefits are much publicised.
I think the description of breast feeding as 'disgusting' is incredibly offensive.
But DM is right, we shouldn't be having a debate. So everyone just chill out and remember that I am always right. Cheers.
I don't think I'm immature but I find that breast feeding in public if not done modestly can be rather disgusting o-o. Don't get me wrong my best friend has had a baby not long ago and she breast feeds her baby. Yes she could pump the breast milk and use that but breast milk is highly perishable and doesn't last long at all so sometimes it's just not convinient. (and don't tell me that mothers who can breast feed should buy formula so you don't have to see them breast feeding their babies, which is what doctors recommend if babies will take it)
Anyhow, back to my point, she breast feeds and it's fine, she covers up. There are weird contraptions out there to cover up but she just puts a light cover over her and makes a tent. Yay for breast feeding and her baby.
However I'm at walmart buying my stuff and don't get me wrong I have boobies, I'm a girl I've seen boobies other than my own...and don't get me wrong after I say this because I hate my own breast and think they are hideous but, this lady she just wips out her boob in public and there it is right in front of my face in my field of vision...big huge boob with dark nipples...which are now imprinted in my brain forever x_x...and ever and evahhhhhhh. Now, I have no problem with breast feeding, I may have to do it myself some time if I choose to have kiddos but come on lets be a little considerate of others. I had no time to avert my eyes, I was a victim of breast feeding boobage attack x_x.
Okay maybe I really had no point here, but I had to express how I've been scarred, venting has made me feel a little better...but yes please watch where you point those things.
