Tiny new baby, aww. In the supermarket.
Walking down an aisle.
Boob out completely trying to get the baby to latch.
Wtf.
Does anyone think this is normal? I bf myself for the record.

Masturbating and breastfeeding is known as FALSE EQUIVALENCE ‘ You can not compare them and it is foolish to equate one in public with the other. Breastfeeding in public, at the supermarket, sat on a bench or a bus, walking down the street is not only normal, but it should be treated as such.

@NoParticularPattern I was involved in that conversation too. I regularly check my milk. At a few weeks it was super super sweet and lovely. At three and a half years... mainly water 😆

You ladies must have stunning boobs. Mine are so saggy I wouldn’t be able to lift one up to my mouth....

“Whole tit” aside (no pun intended), when you’ve got to do it, you’ve got to do it. I was never particularly shy about it after the first few weeks, but I did get hot and bothered when in public when the baby used to fuss and get too hungry, making me flash my tit to everyone and crying at top volume (the baby, not me, although I felt like it at times) to attract attention.
My favourite bf moment was in Cyprus with 5 month old DS, visiting an ancient mosaic site. I found a nice, quiet, shady bench and proceeded to feed the baby. Cue large tourist group marching right past by the dozen three minutes later. The women all cooed and smiled at us. One old fella at the back tut tutted at us as he went by. My sister tutted at me while pissing herself laughing at me for the rest of the holidays.

I wouldnt give a shit. It's a boob. What is the problem?

Cannot begin to imagine how feeding a baby could cause a problem.
Hats off to the woman for multi tasking too.

NoParticularPattern you are most very welcome Grin PMSL at you trying to do it whilst walking round the supermarket. Now that WOULD raise an eyebrow...

ChocolateAddicted thanks for sharing the results of your scientific research Grin
