AIBU to think that women should not have to be discreet when breastfeeding?

I'm not saying that anyone should purposely flop both boobs out into someones dinner. But it makes me really mad that some people think women should have to be discreet when feeding their baby, sit in a corner or breastfeeding 'booth'.

I also think a breast is just not comparable to a penis to a vagina and if people are offended because they see breasts as purely sexual then that is their own problem.

Noone would object to me sitting in public drinking my coffee or feeding my baby a bottle of cows milk yet people find breastmilk offensive.

I'm not bitty mad I lasted 2 weeks breastfeeding but it still makes my blood boil that it is seen as controversial by many.

AIBU?

MrsTP, the saddest thing is my little yellowraincoat has been badly damaged by the washing machine and is no longer wearable.

It was lovely too. From H&M Kids (I am short).

Oh put them away Pickle, that is DISGUSTING.

Nooooooooo. The yellow rain coat is no more.

Oh Christ, I'd better not go out tomorrow with my mum as dd will want feeding at some point.... Oh no, wait, my mum is one of those 'militant' bf specialists, and we're going to a charity event full of bf champions...... I suspect that I'm going to be fighting to keep my breasts covered!

I did, however, walk around my house with one boob out and people looking in may have had a booby wave

Maybe you can do a poll re the waving s d waggling and report back if it actually ever even really happens? If so we need the waving technique!
