Your Sentiments on Breast Feeding in Public

[Chad32]

Shaming a mother for feeding her child is disgusting and uptight and misguided.

It is not a dirty function, like urination or defecation.
There is no waste being produced.

It is not a sexual function.

There is nothing shameful or immodest or dirty about feeding an infant.

It is frowned upon ONLY because we have made breasts more primarily sexual things,
than for feeding infants.

I think humans are the only species who have done this.

We are all human.

That is how humans feed their infants.

If anything, it should be respected and protected.

Nobody else hesitates to eat in public,
and some adults eat in a far more off-putting manner that a nursing infant does.

Let the kid eat.

Humans feed their infants with a bottle, as the good lord intended. You use a pump to fill the bottle in a room behind 4 locked door, in the dark. Then when you're done, you clean yourself up and ask god for forgiveness for touching your own body. Then you tell everyone you're feeding the baby cow's milk, like you buy at the store in jugs.

May I ask what it is about it that bothers you, even if it's a family member doing it in the house?

I'm not sure why it bothered me back then. It doesn't really now. I guess because I was unfamiliar with it. It seemed odd. Like if someone suddenly dropped their pants in front of everyone. I don't have a good explanation, except that I considered them privates, and you shouldn't show privates in public.
