’ Expressing the breast milk into a bottle and giving the baby the bottle with the mother’s milk is done all the time by people who are not exhibitionists.’

Apparently you do not know the paedetricians research and recommendatiosn which says bottle feeding cannot replace breast feeding and bottle feeding does not help the development of the infants gums and teeth and it can cause problems to the teeth. For a crying child, a breast provides a comfort zone which cannot be replicated by a bottle. You seem clueless, so better read on the literature on the benefits of breast feeding and it is not just the milk.

If you again bothered to read what I said before , it is clearly mentioned that breast feeding in public is acceptable if there is NO OTHER CHOICE. Clearly one would prefer someone to do in the privacy of their homes and preferably covered up but again when someone has no choice they can do it in public if they wish.

The breast primary purpose in nature is to feed a hungry child, it is not a sexual object or something to be felt ashamed of as you seem to think it is.

As a conservative I recognise the importance of natural bonding.

You seem to be wrapped up in your elitist liberal thought process where common sense is lost and you make up your own facts. Try to be rational.

And in the 1920s, pediatricians said to feed babies on a strict schedule and not to pick them up when they cried. These medical fads swing with the pendulum - no one who knows history could take this seriously.
Furthermore, a baby’s teeth are not going to be impaired or gums ruined by being bottle fed a couple of times. In fact, millions upon millions of perfectly healthy people were bottle fed as infants.
I hope the next time you are, say, in court, your lawyer starts to breastfeed her baby in the middle of cross examining a witness. Or your busdriver does it, or your dentist in the middle of filling a cavity. Let’s have a child-centered self-gratifying world with no social boundaries. It’s better for our gums.
