    Barenaked Ladies Breasts

    Is it okay for mothers to breastfeed their babies in public? Some say it's disgusting and should be done in private. Others say it is a mothers right. What do you say?

    Done with manners, I have no problem with it at all. Should be one of the most natural things to do

    Anything that keeps the kid quiet is fine by me.

    i like the way south east asian women breast feed babies.Their type of dress,i don't know what it is called, hardly makes breast or baby face visible.Also some muslim women who wear rain-coat type of dress are good for the purpose.

    Yes breast feeding is natural and can be done anywhere,provided mom keeps look out for peeping toms:D

    If I had my way, they'd pass a law allowing mothers to breastfeed babies in public... but strictly prohibit anyone from changing a dirty diaper in public! :bbg:

    Because of the capitals in the title, I was lead to believe we were talking about these breasts.


    Yikes!

    I support breastfeeding in public, and offer my assistance to any woman who needs it.
    ...Just ask me...

    No, these are the guys who did Pinch Me, so it's really important to be cognizant of the difference.

    Am I the only one here who has a problem with breastfeeding in public? I know it's natural, but I still get uncomfortable if a woman plops-out a tittie in the middle of a public park and her baby starts a-suckin'.

    As far as right and wrong, I don't think there is anything WRONG with it. It just makes me feel uncomfortable. And...why is it that the only women who do breastfeed in public are ugly, dirty hippie types? If it was an extremely attractive woman, maybe I'd not have a problem with it. lol

    No problem at all, there are ways to dress and/or hold the baby so that one isn't exposed to those that are uncomfortable. Maybe we should worry more about those who eat in public, with their mouth open, or talk and splatter food around as they do so. Much more unsavoury!!!!:o

    Yes I know, my Mum thought it downright rude of me to breastfeed, "the bottle was good enough for you!". But, the breasts were primarily functional, not just to make clothes hang nicely, and I agree, they are sexual too, but surely folks can separate the functions?? If not, well, thats their dirty minds, and their problem, not that of the Mum or baby!!

    Nothing wrong with it. I preferred privacy when breast feeding my kids, and only had a couple of occasions when this wasn't possible.This strikes me as another example of the odd relationship Americans have with sex--no problem with ads showing half naked women, and lately men, strutting their stuff to hawk beer or whatnot, but a woman feeding her baby is somehow squirm-inducing and "disgusting"? If your mom didn't love you enough as a child, deal with it. Mothers get blamed for everything!! Perhaps you weren't sufficiently lovable???;)

    My wife breastfed our son both indoors and outdoors, there was never any problem with this, no one was offended.
    I cant understand the US situation, most of the porn on the internet comes from the US, you have legalised prostitution in some states, yet the country went ape when janet jackson exposed one of her boobs:hammer:

    breasts

    Whats the big deal, if you look at half of the optical ads that are out there in the trade magazines, theres more showing in some of them then you will ever see in public. Conclusion, boobs sell eyeglasses, so let them show and increase your business.

    I think the Revolution Eyeware catalogue is the greatest book since the old Montgomery Wards catalogue!


    I have nothing against women breastfeeding in public. But, I think that there should be an age cutoff........
