If shopping at Target is part of your Wednesday morning plans, here’s hoping you’re not squeamish about public breast-feeding. Nursing mothers intend to turn out en masse from Maine to Oregon to breast-feed their babies while wandering through after-Christmas markdowns or sipping a latte in the in-house Starbucks — it’s a maternal twist on civil disobedience: the nurse-in.
In recent years, the nurse-in — a.k.a., the breast-feeding flash mob — has become a protest vehicle for nursing mothers, a means of banding together in solidarity over perceived mistreatment. In the most recent protest of significant size, moms gathered in Whole Foods stores last summer to express their unhappiness that a shopper had been told to cover up while nursing. (Whole Foods apologized, even offering snacks to the miffed crowds.)

I nursed all three of my children. I believe you should be able to nurse in ANY public place BUT I also believe that you should cover yourself with a baby blanket or jacket. The mothers who expose their breast for all to see are just plain inconsiderate.
ReplyDeleteThat's why the terrorists hate us.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the non-moms on the beach (or at the mall anymore!) That expose their breast for all to see? Is that inconsiderate, too? A baby's head covers more - even without a blanket or jacket - then many bathing suit tops, and some shirts! Are exposed breasts ok as long as they are sexy?

ReplyDelete1:00 No it is not okay to expose breasts as long as they are sexy. Women should have a little more modesty and that includes ones that are breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteits silly how breast have been sexualized its a human utter
ReplyDeletepeople should hide their faces now there is something truly ugly especially when stupidity runs out of mouths
If anyone is that immature to recognize that a woman is feeding her baby, they should not go out in public.
ReplyDeleteThey don't do it for shits and giggles or to make little boys snicker and laugh in a corner.
No one should be staring at the woman in the first place. If you notice someone breastfeeding, AVERT your eyes.
It really is that simple.
