Bare breasts in public

110 replies

Do you feel it is acceptable to bare your whole breast while breastfeeding in public.

I remember getting on a bus in summer and somehow was shocked to see that a lady on the bus had slipped off her spaghetti strap and lowered top to breastfeed her baby. I was surprised that i felt disgusted by it. surely she is feeding the baby. Couldnt she have lifted up the top instead? the teenage boys behind me were more into the huge breasts and it started to look like soft porn.

Talk about drawing attention to yourself! Breastfeeding cape - PMSL!

I might get one, with a big SB emblazoned on it (for SuperBreastfeeder) - and wear my underpants over my jeans.

hunker....I can see you in this one (big enough for you?!)

can't see what this actually hides, to be honest

hunkermunker · 25/11/2005 11:36

What a waste of fabric, tiktok!

Amazing all these products are what women have been "crying out for" - really?!

tiktok · 25/11/2005 11:36

Cliff, lol at the link you sent, and actually, you may be right about the trolling.

But so what...it's give us all a larf, and stitch has made me giggle too, with her hanky idea

Caligyulea · 25/11/2005 11:37

Wow. Baby burkhas.

hunker, apparently, and I quote, 'this will quickly become a necessity for you and a comfort to your baby'.

Eh? Necessaity? Woss all that about, then?

It looks like a huge terry nappy with a big knot in it to me.

mumfor1sttime · 25/11/2005 11:39

Must say I am getting bored of the bf in public threads...........
No it is not offensive
No it is not porn
Yes it is natural

yawn zzzzzzzz

hunkermunker · 25/11/2005 11:40

Why "must" you say, MFFT?

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 25/11/2005 11:45

D'ya think this is too revealing? It might get finefatmama all excited!

aloha · 25/11/2005 11:47

Lol at the baby burkha!! Classic.

aloha · 25/11/2005 11:47

The 'viewing window' is particularly choice.

dejinglejags · 25/11/2005 11:54

Norkage - Hunker you are on fire today - I had to fight hard to suppress outright laughter at that one

still cackling away to myself.

zippitippitoes · 25/11/2005 12:03

those capes cannot be for real...is there no end to the ridiculous products to come up with

what a larf

and while I'm here what about breastfeeding names for mumsnetters so we know who might be baring all at the keyboard

sadly too late for me but I could have been zippistrappitops

zippitippitoes · 25/11/2005 12:03

or zippitippitits

hunkermunker · 25/11/2005 12:03

frannyandzooey · 25/11/2005 12:14

I could be frannyandboobey.

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 25/11/2005 12:24

I could be CliffRichardSucksTitsinHell!

Then again, maybe not!

zippitippitoes · 25/11/2005 12:25

PMSL

moondog · 25/11/2005 13:04

Blimey,there's a whole bizarrer subculture of cape wearers (or sellers at least-have you ever seen anyone use such a contraption?!)!

Gettaloadofthat first one-designed by a mother of seven! Seven! You'd think she'd have better things to do with her time than piss about designing plastic viewing windows.

Don't like the use of the word 'peep' either.
Very pervy word is 'peep'.

I'm Mammarydog from now on.

hunkermunker · 25/11/2005 13:04

PMSL at piss about designing plastic viewing windows!

Perhaps she wanted to wave goodbye to her boobs as they fell out of sight past her knees?

moondog · 25/11/2005 13:09

psml!

Excellent thread. It's even got Mam'zelle (aka Tiktok) quite frisky!

Nightynight · 25/11/2005 13:29

eek - that was Batwoman on that link, surely, with Batbaby!

finefatmama - Id be a bit embarassed to show a lot myself, but I dont think that the mother you saw was doing anything wrong. I admire her courage! And it was probably more educational for the lads than the sort of mags they normally read!

Lio · 25/11/2005 13:35

Ha ha, all v silly. Perhaps I could have been OhForGoodnessSakeThey'reOnlioTits
or
IfYouDon'tLikeItStopLiooking ? maybe a bit subtle.
