im getting so sick of being told, bf in public is alright as long as its discreet! grrr

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

well its not always that easy to do it discreatly.how fucking rude to say do not flaunt it

grr!!!
yes im cousin was asking me if i fed in public, i said yes, her and her husband started going on about how bf should be donediscrectly

they fucking asked me

i tried to explain that i dont believe any woman does it to flaunt it,he pipes up one i meet did. and went on to tell a really lame story of someone daring to bf in his presence.she had the attitude of i can do this anywhere, oh course she did ffs

i tried to explain its not that easy for some women to be discreet, and it was probably just a new mum, struggling really hard to do the best thing for her baby.

but they wouldnt listen to me,
started turning into a row
i am really fucking angry about this

Obviously, when I say 'I'd rather see that', I'm not talking about group sex.

PMSL at MB and first line of policywonks x-posts!

why do people get so over excited at nipples?

even guinea pigs have nipples

shitemum

Bloddy x-posts making me look foolish

yeah they definnetly are the minority, but thats what people remember or even remember if just told of such thing, they easily forget the loads of women they have seen bf reasonably discretely, despite odd flash of a nipple. My dh used to be against bf in public all because one of his mums friends sat herself down infront of him asking him about school with both her breasts fully exposed about to latch on ds, when he was 14. He was so embarrassed and didnt know where to look. Thats all he had in his head regarding bf in publc he soon changed his mind when he realised how most women bf. Like always people often remember bad, shocking things and often forget good positive things

LOL policywonk!

have you ever been to Aberaeron? Never was there a place less ready for open air group sex. And it must have been fucking cold

(or cold fucking)

No, don't believe I've had the pleasure MB. Been to Ogmore-by-Sea, if that helps.

rofl at aberaeron

its not much like ogmore, no

it has a pebble beach, you see

almost as dull

I went there as a teenager on an Orchestra course.

But we are diverting the thread

well, she wouldn't have wanted sand up her arse would she? She had some standards.....

cardiff has a rift in the space-time contiumuum

but still not bfding exhibitionists

why is that then?

(oh it is past my bedtime)

Oh my cousin was just on a different plane of existance to just about everone else on the planet. She did live in cardiff for a bit. But her dd was a teenager by then and I think that her nips were mostly under wraps by then

Aberaeron is lovely.

She could have been admiring the facade of those fine Georgian houses rather than the facades of those fine West Walians (and I sohuld know,as I own one.)

Did the shagging occur en 6masse^?

not sure of the exact details but they were all nekkid together according to family lore!

Blimey.
I must tell dh.
He spent his entire adolescence fantasising about such shenanigans in that part of the world.

This would have been in the mid to late 70s btw

I can't wait for this baby to be born - I'm going to get my breasts out at every opportunity ! I remember being quite self conscious with dd1, but bollox to that, I shall feed my baby when and how I/she wishes.

When his hormones were raging then.

My mums friend bfed all 3 of her boys, and used to show it all. I remmeber being really embarassed, and it made me very determined to bf discreetly ( i always have used bfg tops or a vest top below a top so I don't show much flesh. Have not got big boobs though. My sister who bf 4 kids says the same thing.

rofl at the abaraeron discussions .

in response to the OP. I quite agree. Easy enough to look away if you are that bothered.

i got asked to move out of the reception area of doctors surgery as i was feeding dd.funnily enough i was there for pnd which wasnt helped by feeding problems-really knocked my confidence and i stopped soon after.

oh cheesesarnie im so sorry to hear that and really angry on your behalf.

its attitudes like this that make me want to rip someones head off.

i wish i could just do something to help us mums.

feel a bit bteter for my rant on here

glad rant makes you feel better!i love a good old rant!

you can always reply on the MN crew to pick you, when someone pisses you right off.

my blood is still boiling

milkgoddess - just patronise the bugger like mad next time you see him.

Say - 'it's quite understandable you should feel uncomfortable - we're very neurotic in this country about normal breastfeeding, and you can't help having been socialised in that way! '

And if he says anything else just laughingly whip the other tit out and offer it to him as a joke!

I know someone who did this to a man who tutted at her when she was feeding her newborn in a shopping centre. Gawd - I'd love to have been there!
