If my baby needs to eat, I dont care where I am or whom is around (other than driving) my baby will be fed.

America, with all its modern advances and touting that they know how every other culture in the world should live....is pretty damned sexually repressed when the sight of a woman feeding her child in the NATURAL way makes people upset. It is clear that women who would like children and have none would be upset...but get a grip folks. What a joke.

a creepy situation happened for me while I was breastfeeding my baby in public. I was using an utter cover (basically a huge bib that covered my chest and the baby with a tiny opening at the time for me to look down and watch my baby). This guy thought it would be funny to look in that same hole. He smiled (creepy) and then said "you should cover up." UHM GROSS!

it so silly that there has to be videos on this. breastfeeding is normal. there shouldn't be a problem or even a discussion about breastfeeding in public. the mother is not doing anything sexual with her breasts. some people do need to grow up and realise breasts were made to feed our children.

I dont really know what to say, this whole idea of covering yourself when you are breastfeeding sounds absolutely stupid to me!! Obviously I belong to a different culture where you can breastfeed anywhere, without covering yourself at all! Nobody will tell you anything. If you dont like it, dont look at it, thats it. Boobs are there for a reason, the exact reason that you are trying to hide...isnt it ironic?

@edwardcullenismine00 you are third teen?

This is what I want to say to people who say "Why don't you just go in the bathroom to breastfeed": Would you want to eat your meal in a bathroom? No? Then, why should a baby have to?

i am third teen and to me this whole situation,is really stupid i believe that woman should not have to stay home to breast feed, they have life they have to go on with life and by people saying you can not breast feed in public it like starving your children it like saying a person can not eat at a fast food place, they do not want to starve then why should the babies.i never had a child before but people really it non your business what a mother and child do, it not your right to know either

I really don't believe that breastfeeding in a restaurant is wrong. There are places made specifically for women to do so... restaurants/stores/not okay.

I use a shawl. It's a nice piece of accesorie and it covers me and my baby. That's what I personally recomend.
