I would like to retract my previous statement directed to you.

This child is 19 month old, certainly old enough to eat some animal crackers or something else if a bit hungry. I was expecting this to be a 2 month old.

Lot of women breastfeed their child until about age 2 it is their belief that the breast milk is much better for the child long term.

Mind you have no scientific evidence of this but you know what they say “Mother knows best”.

Aha. Sounds like mommy is a bit of an activist.

WOW I fully agree with you that the age of the child is a big factor. If the church had a separate room, it should have been used, or at the very least, the woman should have gone to the back. There is something to be said for not trying to offend other people, just for the sake of exercising your own “rights”. I think this gal was looking for a fight or a way to promote breastfeeding in public.

Yep. It sure is not a case of an urgently hungry or fussy baby. The crying room would be the place to go or even a Sunday school classroom. I wish I had seen the age of the child before my first comment.

I would think a child that age is quite interactive when breastfeeding. Which makes it more difficult to have them keep quiet. People do have a right to a peaceful service when they go to church.

That makes it a whole ‘nother issue.

That child should NOT be being breastfed in public.
