To be properly shocked at a 40 year old man equating a breastfeeding cafe with a topless bar?!

Or is this type of attitude actually common, and I have just been lucky enough not to encounter it before?

Man in question is my BIL, a lovely, university-educated, well-travelled, and liberal dad of 4 lovely kids (all bottle-fed Grin), who expressed this view during a discussion about me breastfeeding DD2 who is 2 weeks old... oh, and then asked me to send him a 'topless selfie' from the cafe...

Sorry busy day!

The breastfeeding cafe we were talking about is in New York where we're off to next month - it's called the Upper Breast Side Grin. I'll report back on what it's like when I've been!

I have to ask - why is it a breastfeeding cafe?
Every cafe should enable breastfeeding.

Why the need for specialist bf cafes though?

I think people should be able to bf wherever they want.

Totally agree Sallyingforth and Beryl - and I should add that I have no problem feeding wherever and whenever - but DH had got a kick out of the fact that such a place exists in NYC which was what led to the discussion.
