HIBAP (He is being a prick)

He's being AIBU. It's your boob and it's a lot more handy...

NumericalMum · 11/01/2013 21:53

No!!!!!! YANBU! Please please please do.

Depends who you are Bfeeding, I suppose.

EricNorthmanIsMyMaker · 11/01/2013 21:53

YANBU. Your DH is being unreasonable.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 11/01/2013 21:53

YANBU in the slightest!

YANBU your baby is eating a meal.

FryOneFatManic · 11/01/2013 21:54

YANBU, he is.

And for the record, no one ever saw my boobs when I was BFing in a restaurant.

chipmonkey · 11/01/2013 21:54

YANBU!

I have breastfed in many restaurants and never offended anyone to my knowledge.

BunnyLebowski · 11/01/2013 21:54

YANBU.

Why are you married to such a schmuck?

Flobbadobs · 11/01/2013 21:55

Unless you're going to wave your boob around while people are eating their starters no one will see your breast!
YANBU. Just do it.

My DH made me go upstairs when his parents came to visit or feed expressed milk. Why did I agree to it? If there is ever a next time I will feed happily in my own house!!

LurcioLovesFrankie · 11/01/2013 21:57

YANBU. I spent quite a lot of time BF in restaurants, by far the easiest way of keeping a small baby quiet while you eat. Was one of the great downsides to bottle feeding when BF didn't work out (you need both hands for FF - so none left for the fork, at least not until I get my wish of being reincarnated as the Goddess Khali, at which point, in addition to enjoying my many arms, I will be coming round to have a word with your husband about his antediluvian attitudes).

PurpleStorm · 11/01/2013 21:58

YANBU.

The other diners probably won't even notice, unless your DH makes a big song and dance about it.

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 11/01/2013 21:58

Are you planning on squirting some into the next tables creme brulee?

If not yanbu.

Sirzy · 11/01/2013 21:58

why would they need to see your breast? surely they can only see a baby having their milk. why would that be a problem?

EauRouge · 11/01/2013 21:58

YANBU. He is being a knob. BF in public is protected by law.

Flobbadobs · 11/01/2013 21:59

lurcio you can ff one handed as long as you're quite bendy Grin
Honestly OP, I've seen any a woman BF in many places and no oe has given them a second glance. Your DH is being a bit silly.
