- How many breast fed or feed ?
- Ewwww!
- How many had to do so in the toilets of restaurants for fear of upsetting other customers?
- Can't say I've ever seen anyone breast feeding in a public toilet. But at the same time when I'm sitting in a restaurant eating I don't want to see a woman whip out her boob either. If she can do it discretely, fine. Otherwise leave the kid at home and use a breast pump and bottles.
First of all, this is not meant as a personal attack because I know many more people that think this way other than Acadia. But come on! This is part of what's wrong with the US in the first place. Breast feeding is natural for heaven's sake! Eww?
And God forbid a woman actually feed their baby in a restaurant where everyone else is, get this, eating also! It's sad that we treat something natural and wholesome (yes wholesome, there's incredible bonding of mother/child with breast feeding) as Ewww. sigh
