No body said a food court isnt good enough for a baby to eat, they said they disagree with plopping a b___b out IN the food court.Whats pathetic is if a man were to sit there and LOOK at the womens b___st HE would be the one thats in the wrong. As for teenagers wearing more revealing clothes. I disagree with that as I have NEVER seen any one OTHER then a b___stfeeding mother exposing herself like that in a public place and get away with it. There is a place for everything and b___stfeeding women should go to that place when doing so. I also b___st fed my child for over a year without feeling the need to expose myself. Even with a blanket you still show your b___st. I know, I have been there.

Alice, I don't know how you were b___stfeeding, because I only exposed myself in the very beginning, when I was learning how. I now bf in public, and not even my husband will notice. And, I've only been bfing for 3 months!

I am a pro at it. I already stated that I dont show my b___b in public but that I do see others doing that and its not proper.

You're obviously NOT a pro at it, if you can't do it without exposing yourself.

Whoa! People are very pa__sionate about b___stfeeding! I actually come from both sides, because babies definitely have a right to eat, and as mothers we should be willing to do what it takes to care for them. And even though I have very little shame about who sees what, I am still descreet because I know it can make other people uncomfortable. And just for the record, not everyone who is uncomfortable is a pervert! Sometimes people are embarra__sed by seeing another person's body, for the simple fact that it is another person's body. It doesn't automatically mean that they see b___sts in a strictly s_xual way, they are just probably unused to seeing them in public at all.

Umm Jamie CAN you read or is b___stfeeding the only thing you claim to be good at. I stated for the second time now its not MY b___b that gets shown, its OTHERS b___bs. Thats the point here I have been sitting across women in places like a food court and you will see ANOTHER women open her shirt , show her FULL b___b and then feed her baby THATS wrong. End of story.

I used to do it anywhere. I was really discreet about it and most of the time noone even noticed what I was doing. I have not yet been out with my new son (1 day old) but when I do I will again do it whenever and wherever needed.

Wow alice where do you live? Because i have never seen a woman in a food court just exposing her b___st for everyone to see. I do like to wear low cut tops that expose more of my skin than is exposed by every b___stfeeding woman ive seen. Maybe when people stop s_xualising b___sts they will see them for what they really are

I'm 32 and I don't think I've ever really seen someone in public b___stfeeding that was exposing their b___b. I think people get freaked out at the thought that you might be b___stfeeding w/out even seeing anything. For example I was rocking my son in the position you'd normally b___st feed but I had a pacifier in his mouth. My brother said "do you have to b___stfeed him now?". I'm like whatever freak, I'm not b___stfeeding him. He just a__sumed I was and thought it was wrong. As for people being good at b___stfeeding it has a lot to do with the baby too. My son who is 6 months will lift up my shirt while nursing, and refuses to be covered. I go to a private place for this reason if and when I b___stfeed for my own privacy. I could care less what others think but I'm more comfortable with that personally.

I actually live in Canada, not only have I seen a lady feeding her baby without a blanket and showing her full b___b but I have seen them walking through zellers without a blanket.. top part of her b___b showing. All I ask is get a blanket or do it so your b___bs arent hangin out.

I used to work at a grocery store, and there was a lady that ALWAYS came in and walked abound b___stfeeding. She would unb___ton her shirt and have her whole b___b out for the world to see. It made the men I worked with very uncomfortable, I can still see the expressions on their faces trying to scan her groceries without staring at the b___b. HA!!!!

'Public' b___stfeeding story... 4th of July picnic about 4 years ago... my daughter was several months old by then so I was fairly adept at feeding her 'undercover' so to speak... one of the guys my husband works with comes up to me - I'm sitting in a lawnchair with a light blanket over her as she nurses - he thinks I'm just covering her to keep her out of the harsh sun - he asks me if she's asleep, I say no - quick as a wink, he picks up the corner of the blanket, babbling baby talk...you should have seen his face when he saw that she was having her lunch...I can laugh now, but at the time I was mortified!

I have fed my 2nd baby in a shop before. We were in a queue that was really long and she was hungry and nothing else was keeping her occupied so I did it. If anyone had a problem with it then it's tuff. Noone said anything to me, except the shop keeper, who said - they don't half pick thir moments - and laughed. Breasts are there to provide milk for babies and thats what I use them for. I felt intimidated by those opinionated people who complained when I was feeding my 1st so gave up after only a few short weeks, but not no more. Why should I top doing it cos of shallow minded folk? If you are hungry you eat.... people walk round eating sandwiches and drinking pop, why can't our babies eat when they are hungry?

Wuld you walk around with just your hand over your b___b? Or your finger on your nipple and show the rest of your b___b? NO you wouldnt so why do we think its ok when we have a child on the end of it?Not being rude just asking.

Alright, Lindsay, would you hide in a bathroom to give your child a bottle? No? So why should we have to? And, Alice, re-read what YOU wrote. Quote: "Even with a blanket you still show your b___st. I know, I have been there." Tell me, how that is supposed to be read other than, you've been there, showing your b___st EVEN WITH A BLANKET. Hmm, gee - maybe you need to learn to SPEAK CLEARLY.

I also stated I b___st feed in a changing room dead.. I think you need to read properly and on that note I ALSO said I never b___st fed in a bathroom. READ before you speak.
