Where do you stand on breastfeeding in public?
September 1, 2018 at 9:56 am
We all know breast milk gives babies the best start in life, but it's a chance to whinge for some when women feed their kids in public. I'm all for it, I can't see why some people are disgusted by it.

I know people who also think that women should stop after 12 months. At what age would you say the child would be when it becomes unacceptable to continue breast feeding? And do you think it would be ok to continue for as long as the child wants it as long as it's not done in public?

I'm asking because there was a radio debate on the subject, and I was surprised how many people are against women feeding in public.

The prudes can just avert their eyes. These are people with the same mentality as those who wanted brassieres for cattle.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

You gotta take the bad with the good if you want to see any at all.
