Was just finishing my shopping today with dc (6 weeks) and as I went to the car the woman in car next to me had her back door wide open and was sitting there breast feeding her baby. We smiled at each other as both had babies only a few weeks old and I was just about to also bf dc. Then to my surprise I saw she was also smoking.
I did a double take as the sight sort of shook me, I suppose because I personally find feeding dc such a nurturing and loving act (regardless if bf or bottle) it shocked me to see someone combining this with a known harmful act.
I'm probably being really judgey but it just seemed wrong.

YANBU.

That would be a shocking sight.

I'd be a bit taken aback. I wouldn't say anything (that would make me an arsehole), but I'd think it.

miffybun73 · 19/07/2013 21:20

YANBU, poor baby :(

LegoAcupuncture · 19/07/2013 21:21

Yep, I'd have been judgey as well. Poor baby.

CuppaTeaForTheBigFella · 19/07/2013 21:22

Apart from the obvious I would also worry about dropping hot ash on the baby!

babyhmummy01 · 19/07/2013 21:23

Yanbu but its her baby and her decision

nethunsreject · 19/07/2013 21:24

That's bad! Was it a proper fag, not one of those electronic ones? Sure, that's not great either but nowhere near as bad.

Yonionekanobe · 19/07/2013 21:26

YANBU. Really horrible.

Figgygal · 19/07/2013 21:28

Why do people do such stupid things Shock

filee777 · 19/07/2013 21:28

Nasty... Must have no idea of the damage it causes

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 19/07/2013 21:32

YANBU

That is pretty bloody awful. Poor baby :(

Nagoo · 19/07/2013 21:35

her baby and her decision.

And our prerogative to judge her for it.

babyhmummy01 · 19/07/2013 21:37

nagoo read my post, I agree the op is nbu but why get upset about something you have no control over

Moxiegirl · 19/07/2013 21:39

It would have bothered me too.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 19/07/2013 21:43

Yanbu. I would have felt very sorry for the baby too. It would strike me as very strange to see good and selfless parenting set against such a selfish and harmful backdrop of cigarette smoke.
