And as long as you're covering yourself up via a small blanket when you're feeding and not exposing yourself to the world, that's all good. No problem.
I agree with this.
I think the problem here is whether people are being selfish or caring about others. the selfish person says, "It' MY RIGHT to feed my baby where ever I want! So if anyone else has a problem with it, TOUGH!"
Yes, it is your right. You should be able to feed your baby.
Also a selfish person says, "I don't want to see that, EVER! Leave MY presence if you are going to to it!"
And yes, they too have the right to not have to see mother's breast everytime their baby needs fed.
But, common people. We're all human beings, we're all people with our own feelings and our own views. We should take care of each other and help eachother. That's the problem with society everybody thinks only of themselves. A mother should care enough about other people that if they find it offensive she should respect that. But also, the other people should realize the mother's position.
Is this such an unrealistic attitude? To actually care about other human beings? To care about what they think and feel and respect that? Seriously, we're all in this together.
Should a mother have to ask if it's ok, when her baby needs to be feed? If she has respect for other people then I would say, Yes she should ask. If the people she asks have any respect for here then they should understand her situation and say that it's ok. If there are those who find it inappropriate that should be respected too.
For me if a woman wants to breat feed her baby that's fine, because I understand that need and I respect that. But that woman should also respect that fact that I don't want to see her pop her breast out and start feeding. So she should cover herself with a small blanket or something.
Is it really that hard to care about other people?
