Next up, a law enforcing SEVERE DRACONIAN PENALTIES on anyone who tells a breastfeeder to cover-up.
I know these people like the back of my hand.
How old is that kid?
Why can't those complainers go eat their breakfast in the restroom?
Sounds like she though she, er, had it covered. :)
Oh yeah, look at that smirk. She’s pleased with herself. You know she made absolutely certain everyone saw everything. It’s not difficult to simply drape the blanket over your shoulder, but oh no.
want to stop public breast feeding?
1. walk over to the woman
2. stand about 6 feet away
3. directly face the women
4. smile... creepily
5. make low guttural noises of approval
she’d cover up and leave in no time.
Need a tarp to cover that one.
I used to practice with my baby boy in front of a mirror to make sure I could do it unobtrusively. I nursed in church (side back aisle pew), in restaurants (corner booth) and once, egad, on a speakers' platform, and I assure you nobody noticed.
If she was not adequately covered, it was her fault and she needs to apologize sincerely and learn better nursing etiquette.
If she was covered and somebody objected in principle to feeding babies anywhere but in purdah, then I suggest the objector move to Qatar.
The word “illegal” gets thrown around a lot nowadays, with morons like this lady using it without any idea what it means. I wonder if she decides to change her son’s diapers in the restaurant - illegal or not? And why?
She just wants to expose her boobs.
Breastfeeding used to be a special bonding time between mom & child now activists want to make it nothing special, a spectator event for all in public to witness
So..it’s “natural”....so is most sex...
Breastfeeding is natural but, it shouldn’t be a spectator event. Women who do this are seeking attention about how good their mothering skills are...hey, look at me!!
These days one can purchase, or make, a simple rectangle of cloth with a strap that goes around the neck and adjusts with velcro. Between where the strap attaches, there is a piece of flexible plastic boning that holds the fabric away from the mother’s chest so she can look down at the nursing baby. It’s called either a ‘nursing cover’ or a ‘hooters hider’. One can be made in an afternoon, or purchased online, although some are as high as $40!
They make a terrific shower gift, and eliminate virtually all problems associated with nursing away from home.
I was once in a shop where the owner has her toddler daughter with her. Knowing full well my husband was in the shop too, she whipped out a breast and nursed the child in front of him. Yes, it was very deliberate, the child wasn’t even fussy. She lost a sale.
I nursed four babies and not once in front of my mother-in-law, even.
That looks like a pretty good sized kid; maybe weaning
age or past. (The woman probably thinks she and her “cute”
dimples are going to be discovered by some movie director.)
So... I can take a dump in public and no one can say anything, right?
“I told her ‘I think it’s illegal for you to tell me to cover up’.”
In other words, “I don’t care what every other customer wants. I demand the right to do what I want even if it offends everyone else.”
Another case of the Tyranny of One in our bizarro world. They should have tossed her onto the sidewalk when she refused.
My answer to this is I wish everyone in the place would just turn to her table and stare. I’d bet exhibitionist or not this would make her uncomfortable. She likely enjoys seeing the unease people around her have with her breastfeeding so kinda turn the tables and make her uncomfortable.
Really though I have seen women breastfeed in public in a way such that you didn’t even realize what they were doing. Sounds as if this case was not one of those cases and while I can personally deal with it, were I to have 5-6 year old kids its not the kind of thing I’d like them seeing so casually. Modesty still has a place in this society I’d hope.
mooo
Bring a cloth to drape over the babys head. The baby will appreciate it the most. Baby needs privacy (semi-privacy) too.
‘”There shouldn’t be a stigma about breastfeeding,” mother Lauren Hernandez said.’
Gee, what if I decide there shouldn’t be a stigma about farting in public? That’s a natural body function too. I doubt Mrs. Hernandez would agree that I should be free to flatulate near her while she is trying to eat at a restaurant.
