I'll breastfeed where I bloody well want when my baby is hungry!

[MsKLo]

Following on from another thread that got the old cogs whirring, I am always saddened by the fact that some people have a problem with women breastfeeding in public and expect bf mums to 'hide away' because it makes them feel uncomfortable.

I will always bf my baby where-ever and whenever she wants a feed and if someone doesn't like the fact that I am giving her amazing milk with amazing benefits they can do one!

Baby is hungry= baby needs food simple!! Regardless of whether it comes from a bottle or mum its still food. I have never felt uncomfortable when encountering a mother bf.

Do people get embarrased when they see a bitch feeding her puppies? or a monkey feeding its baby at the zoo? HELLLLL NO! so it shouldnt be any different for humans.

Why do people get so fucking wound up about this? People have gone crazy about bfing. I've breastfed 2 until over 1, done it discreetly and without commotion all over the place and NEVER, EVER been confronted. Just do it without a fuss.

Oh, and my kids are 10 years apart - first baby, 1997, noone banged on about the right to feed etc, we just got on with it. I would be interested to know exactly how many people had been asked to stop feeding their baby in public. This is a new way of shouting from the rooftops about how superior people who breastfeed are to non breastfeeders. People who can breastfeed without problems are fucking lucky, not special or oppressed.

And some older people are not comfortable around naked breasts and this is fair enough. Have a bit of respect.

Rant over

That's what I think chocolatepuff. Not criticising formula feeders as I couldn't BF dd1 for as long. I am still breastfeeding ds who is nearly 2. I just wish people would be supportive. BFing mums need to feed in public places sometimes.

The aggressiveness is in jest here zookeeper! (for once!)

I think the OP is referring to the P&O thread which was basically saying please BF in your cabin.
I have to agree that a company should not be asking it's customers to do this....

We never would have guessed MsKLo- you appear to be one of those mothers who 'eyeballs' everyone and if anyone happens to meet your gaze you start ranting what are they looking at if they dont like it look away etc etc..

Why don't people just stop going on and on about breastfeeding and just do it ...all the people I know who bf ,just well bf ,and don't bang on about it

HAHAHA i used to squirt DP

Fucking brilliant!

If you don't care or like then ignore, so you have hidden bf section? That says a lot

You still here gemsy

Blimey can't keep away can you!

op, how many times have you been made to feel uncomfortable when bf?

I breastfed OP but I find your post a bit....well....twatish.

I didn't breastfeed in public because I didn't feel comfortable with it. IT's got fuck all to do with anyone else to be honest.

You must be very cold up there on your moral high ground, no?

MsKLO you are quite mad

Because like many other aspects of parenting these days its a platform for immense smuggery for some. Just like those who have only ever cooked a roast chicken that was killed plucked and basted with their very own fair hands. Or their little Freddy whos first word was 'discombobulated'- really really!

YANBU, I'm rofl at

I'm with shineon. I couldn't give a monkeys if you bf or not. I stopped caring when I stopped BFing.

I never had any negative comments and neither have any of my friends. Many of whom have fed in public.

Don't understand why some people turn it into such A BIG DEAL. It's natural but people do have the right to decide if they want to or not.

Stop expecting people to polish your halo.

FFs...I BF'd three DCs and never had a problem AT ALL.
Get fucking over it.

And i'm talking about 16 -22 years ago.

Who gives a fuck?

Attention seeking again, with yet another aggressive sounding title.

Mmmm Roast chicken....

That's tomorrow's dinner sorted!

Just had a lamb Biryani.
Twas loverley.

Oh how funny that people are so bothered by my 'high ground' as they call it

I have had funny looks from people, especially now DD is older and I had a friend who was asked to leave a cafe once (!)

Blimey some people really don't get Tongue in cheek do they

I really really struggled with bf both times and I persevered as to me it is very important and makes a heck of a difference so yes I am bloody well
Proud of myself for bf

We had teryaki Salmon and Noodles this eve, Loving made by me.

Mine was cold though because the baby needed BF just as I dished up.

Not in public though, Although my curtains where open.

'This is a new way of shouting from the rooftops about how superior people who breastfeed are to non breastfeeders. People who can breastfeed without problems are fucking lucky, not special or oppressed'

the fact is the majority of women in this country DONT breastfeed, therefore it is not commonly seen in society, therefore it does make some people uncomfortable enough to express it to said breastfeeder.

there is no superiority about it, but i like many others are pretty outraged that in this day and age too many of us are still too prudish about boobs, and only see them in their sexualised context, not their feeding context, which is what they are there for in the first place!

You go girl.
