If you Got on the Train and a lady was sitting with her whole brest Out breast feeding....?

Question

would you be slightly disturbed? People say there are better places to do it do you agree or not?

Answer 1

Where on a train is she supposed to do it? In the toilet perhaps? Would you eat your lunch in the toilet? People need to get a grip on this, it's a natural thing. The baby has the right to feed, just as you do.

Answer 2

I grew up in Africa where it was totally natural. No one looked. It is only repressed Western men and women who feel uncomfortable. Get to grips with your own narrow mind.
Where would you think a better place would be? Some people say a toilet? How could anyone in their proper minds feel comfortable feeding a baby in a place where people excrete?
Get over your paranoia - accept it as a natural thing. Very few women take the whole breast out anyway. I've never seen one white woman do it, and if they do, they are very unusual.

Answer 3

I do feel uncomfortable if i see someone with their WHOLE breast out in public, however a baby can be easily fed under a blanket and no-one even realises what is happening. I do believe that it is a totally natural process and that babies NEED to be fed on demand. My son used to scream as soon as he was hungry, so there wasn't a lot of time to find somewhere suitable to feed. I have to admit, we didn't venture out of the house in the first couple of weeks unless he had just been fed and i was only doing a short journey! I have to admit though, i personally wouldn't breastfeed on a train as i would ensure that i had fed before we'd boarded, or made sure that i sat at the back where no-one could see me - i do get embarrassed easily.

Answer 4

If the baby is hungry then it is better the mother feeds it than it screaming, most mothers show discretion, but in a train the only place would be the loo and they are never the cleanest places on a train, no I wouldn't be disturbed

Answer 5

Breastfeeding is a natural part of life nad when a baby needs to eat then a baby has got to eat. BUT, I do believe that some mothers could be a bit more discreet in doing so. Not only for the comfort of other people, but I know I would feel uncomfortable if people were staring at my breast while I was breastfeeding.

Answer 6

Did it occur to you that the baby may have been hungry? If she had offered you the other breast, then you would have a right to be slightly offended. Women in most countries and cultures have the right to breastfeed in public. I did it with all my kids, but I was discrete, and if ignorant people complained, I would politely tell them to MOVE. Nobody asked them to sit next to me.

Answer 7

Now a days there is many laws protecting breast feeding mothers they can feed where ever they need too. But they need to respect the area they are in and cover up.

Answer 8

I wouldn't be disturbed in the slightest. It is a natural thing, a woman feeding her baby. Breasts are for feeding babies - or did you not know that?

Answer 9

Firstly when you breastfeed you do not have the whole breast out, your child is attatched to your nipple and it is easy to hide the rest of the breast with your top or a muslin square.
Secondly which would you rather? Screaming hungry babay or a few suckling noises from a contanted well-fed child?
Your views are a little out of touch, very childish and also not very realistic.

Answer 10

You wouldn't hide in a toilet to eat your lunch so why would you expect a human baby to. Do you realise that the whole reason we were were given breasts was to feed our babies! Get over it or sit somewhere else.
