MY only problem with a woman breastfeeding is that I am jealous I can't suck on a woman's breast in public, but the baby can..... Seriously though, doesn't bother me.

@Fantasyromeo Your suckling the breast would be classified as sexual. Whereas the baby is only for life sustaining nourishment and nurturing. The sexual correlation to the breast feeding is what primarily causes the controversy and peoples problem with it. I understand your humor though. Thank you for your comment.

How can you disagree with the idea of using a blanket or doing it in a way which it isn't obvious? It's a curtesy to do that and those people who think its ok to just pull your stuff out in public are missing the point. If you do it tastefully them there's nothing wrong with it,. Just use curtesy and common sense.

@Timmy2384 Because blankets don't work. Kids pull them off and they sweat a lot under them. The courtesy is in being modest without a blanket and also for the onlookers to mind their own. If you paid attention in my video I said mothers usually don't whip their whole boob for you to see. Breast feeding mother are very courteous and have extreme common sense hence they breast feed their child when and where the child is hungry.

Can I "like" this video more than once?! This is fantastic. Thank you for making and sharing it. Breastfeeding is hard, and our society is against breastfeeding mothers. Carry on, warriors, and keep giving your babies THE BEST! The rest of the world can suck up their discomfort. Our babies can't suck it up and stop being hungry outside of the house.

@101tinkbaby Thank you warrior momma! :) and you are so welcome! Absolutely!!

@SanguineBullet667 No. We won't use a blanket. If you heard my video I said most women don't show or plop their boobs out so a blanket isn't needed when your shirt or hand covers just fine. Common courtesy is if you don't like it, mind your business. Thank you!

@modernops101 Too bad so sad for you. Don't look and we'll all be happy.

I came across this video too late it seems. Everyone posted months ago. I really love this though & I'll be sharing this on my FB because its absolutely true!!! How do you feel about breastfeeding older children (5+ years old) When the child is in school. Do you think that will have an impact on the child in the future? I'm very interested to hear your POV on this topic & if you already have discussed it please disregard my question lol

It only bothers weirdos, its all about nature and shared love between beautiful babies and there mothers

LOVE!!! thanks for making this video! as a nursing mother, i find myself making this argument all the time...and sadly its often other nursing mothers who say negative things about breastfeeding in public.

[PeytonMarieThompson]

What's even more messed up is that I've seen commercials promoting breast feeding and saying how healthy it is for the mother and child, and yet women still can't do what is said to be natural and good for mother and child in public? Isn't that like saying "Oh yea eating food is totally healthy and good for you, JUST NEVER DO IT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE OR IN PUBLIC! EVER!!!" Makes no sense.

loooooooooolu made me laugh

[wabrams748]

You are right...

I'm a breast fan. To admit it, I find it dificult not to look.

[friscky02]

You are absolutly right!

@Timmy2384 Isn't it rude to stare at stranger, regardless of what they are doing? Courtesy is continuing to do what you were doing in the first place. Furthermore, the needs of a child who cannot control their needs trump the discomfort of adults.

This is my 3rd time watching this video because I can't get over how much I love it. You say what all mommas want to say with an added sassiness.
