The next decade....what's in store?

yeah but it's your blog you can say what you want
I've had enough of couples giving mutual tonsillectomies in public how about that

Where I came from people with manners put a rag over the baby and the breast--did she even do that?

Well yuh know some women nowadays, doan got nuh conscience. descreet ein't in dey dictionary. Just throw de diaper ova baby face and breasts and do yuh feeding

To me its ok if you are discrete about it. Throw a towel over yourself dont expose yourself. I know its all natural and stuff but no one aint ant to see your stuff like that.

On a previous visit to Barbados I was at Sheraton Centre in the foodcourt when this young lady sat down whipped it out and proceeded to try to feed a clearly not hungry chile. So for like a good 15 minutes her breast was just exposed staring at the boys who proceeded tio stare back. It was one of the funnier experiences I've ever had especially when one of my friends pretended he was talking to the baby and went 'buddy if ya cant handle it tag me'

Now I thought the shame of having a whole bunch of guys sitting about 10 yards away clearly oogling your breasts would make her put it away but nuh huh for like 1/2 hr it was exposed.

"Buddy if ya cant handle it tag me" LOL!!

I think that how women think about this changes when they actually have babies or something. Before she became a mother, my cousin used to complain in disgust about women nursing their babies where other people could see (even if it was in the living room of their own homes). Just a few months later, she was pulling out her breast just about anywhere without the slightest bit of concern. She just didn't think of it as being sexual anymore.

My mother breastfed me in public on occasion, but in her day women would carry around a modesty cloth to drape over their bosoms while they nursed. I hardly see women doing that anymore.

I thought every baby bag had one of them cloths to prevent overt exposure...maybe I'm mistaken...or the times indeed, they be changin!

Common place thing these days. Every morning there are a set of women out by Marcus garvey Drive, bad enough they have to use the community washroom but the breast feeding and walking in panties and bras is just the norm for them.

LOL ! It really does become tricky when the kid releases the nipple to smile at you and you're just left hanging there ! I did NOT breastfeed in public...jut at the doctor, and even there I found a corner and used a bosom cloth.

"Buddy if ya cant handle it tag me" LOL!!

I'm with Melody! Oh, and I don't really have a problem with it.

To me breastfeeding needs to be done in the home and not outside. Public breastfeeding is a primal act that shows that we are uncivilized and no different than animals

Like i said, i really have no problem with breastfeeding just as lomg as breastfeeding is done at home or in a bathroom so it wont be in the way. Breastfeeding is all about bonding with a child privately, not sharing the privacy with others who dont agree with it. Common curtiousy to all breastfeeding mothers out there, stay at home or at least use a bathroom, we dont wanna see your motherhood virtues being on public display

Using a coverup kind of removes the discrete aspect. I've got a bunch of kids and I've nursed them all over the place. I just use my shirt to cover up. Unless you happen to be directing your gaze directly at my bosom area, you won't see a thing unless my child pulls his head away. If that happens, it's a bummer, but it's so rare that the head comes off that way *and* someone is glancing there at the same time.

Lots of people say that they're ok with breastfeeding, just not in public. Well, that actually means that you're *not* ok with breastfeeding.

Moms have things to do. We can't stay home all day just to nurse. If people just avert their eyes, they won't see anything. If they're still bothered by the idea of breastfeeding, they should admit that it's the idea and not the actual seeing of a breast that bothers them. Then they should think about why and think about if that's proper.
