Breastfeeding pics - Curious

I don't like seeing it when I'm having dinner at a restaurant.
Yes I can look away, but it's the crash scene effect where you sometimes can't help, but look.
I'd rather see a woman nurse her baby than watch some person with bad table manners stuff themselves.0 -
When I breast feed, I show less boob than some of the profile pics here (including the original poster). Just saying....0

Your food is in the toilet. Go eat.Breast feeding is a natural thing. So is pissing and sh*tting.
Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it should be made public.
If you want to breast feed at the restaurant, the family bathroom is over there.
If you feel that is mean, then fine - I'll start taking a dump on the table in the restaurant and you better hold your tongue.
So you can't differentiate a toilet from a bathroom?
Wow, I'd hate to clean your house.
public toilets do not have lids. Everytime you flush a fine mist of fecal matter and and urine are thrown into the air and on to everything around. The bathroom is no place to be feeding a baby. If you are offended by my breastfeeding go eat your meal in the bathroom.
I love how all of you have said eating in the bathroom is bad because people are dirty. Do you not understand how idiotic your arguments are? You are all proving my point. I love it!
proving you are an idiot is all I see!
Well some people just can't see that good.0 -
If a person has bad hygiene, walking outside of the restroom won't magically make them clean. They'll still be equally dirty when they sit at the table and use their fecal hands to open their baby's mouth and put it on their fecal covered skin. So again, you also agree that there is no medical reason to not do it in the bathroom.
I'm not talking about the mother's hygiene, I'm talking about other people's hygiene. Restaurant tables are cleaned much more frequently than restaurant restrooms.
Let me ask you: would you allow yourself to have surgery in a restroom or would you insist on the most sterile environment available to you? According to your logic, there is no medical reason not to have your surgery in the bathroom.
An OR is cleaned far better than a bathroom. Also, said fecal covered doctors will then cover themselves in scrubs and gloves to keep their fecalness covered. Even then, people often get infections in hospitals.0 -

Okay now you are just being nitpicky0 -
What I find funny is that is very similar to what you are asking the babies and the moms do by eating in the restroom. The average purse has a fair amount of fecal matter on it from being set down public restrooms. Why would you ask a mom to set her babybag down and pull out feeding materials in those conditions? You think those family room couches are any cleaner?
I appreciate your desire to prove me wrong with facts. It speaks volumes for your character and I do sincerely appreciate it. Now as for the content of said information, many women pump in bathrooms already. So why would feeding be overtly worse? Also, if using a restroom results in people being completely coated in fecal matter, then it doesn't really matter where you eat because that fecal matter will still be on you unless you shower (oh wait, showers are in bathrooms). So by your logic, we have no opportunity to be free of fecal matter. If you think the family room couch is equally dirty, then there is no negative impact biologically by having said mother breastfeed in the bathroom. So the only difference is the decision of decency and whether one should perform private acts in public or in private. I vote private.
Yes, many women do pump in bathrooms, but I don't think that they should feel they have to. I would wager that these women feel immodest pumping elsewhere or pressured. It's actually in our employment handbook that our agency is required to provide a private space that is *not* a bathroom to pump or feed because of the sanitation risks.
It's true that no one place is likely free of contamination. In fact, I know it's true. I work in healthcare, and even hospitals have to minimize the time patients are in because of the risk of infection. However, some places are inherently cleaner than others. A table in a restaurant that follows health codes is going to be cleaner than a restroom, because the table is cleaned every time it is vacated with a clean(er) towel. (I worked in restaurants as well, and you don't say rags. :laugh: But we really did use clean towels that were soaked in frequently changed disinfectant.)
I'm not sure if the comment about my character was sarcasm or not because of online inflection reading problems, but if it was sincere, thank you and back atcha. :flowerforyou:
I am most definitely a sarcastic person, but I was completely serious about my comments on your character. I always welcome different ideas from calm and intelligent people who want to present their views in a clear and logical way. Even if we completely disagree, I will respect you and your views 100%.
That being said, I find restaurants to be quite disgusting. The chairs and tables are more rinsed off than washed, depending on the establishment. I can't even begin to count the number of times I see a guy use the bathroom and then walk out without cleaning his hands and then a minute later I walk out and see him pulling the chair out or rubbing his wife's hair back. Thuroughly disgusting.0 -

As is just about everywhere. Even if it doesn't meet the standards of an OR. It would be nearly impossible for a public place to keep a bathroom as clean as the rest of the place. And my friends that breastfeed take care to keep wipies with them, which allows them to make their their hands and surfaces are clean. They can't do anything about fecal matter floating around in bathroom air, however. I think you've actually just proven everyone's point who is saying that just about anywhere is cleaner than a bathroom. There's no pristine or perfectly safe place, but many places are safer than a bathroom.0 -
ladies, you better all go buy burqa's. We are offending FLguy with our skin!!!0

A long time ago our neighbors invited us over for a movie night. We were all sitting around having a good time watching this movie and eating popcorn when all of a sudden their 3 1/2 year old said, "Mommy, I want a drink." Well the next thing we know she's breastfeeding on Mommy's lap. We were so weirded out by the experience that we never accepted a movie invite again. Each to their own, but if it makes others uncomfortable don't expect them to show support.0

Over exaggerating. If you don't have anything intelligent to bring to the conversation, then why bother?0 -

Saying an OR is cleaner than a bathroom is a wildly far stretch from saying everywhere is cleaner. You are making an incorrect correlation. Also, bathrooms don't have their air filtered from the rest of the location. You best believe anything in there is getting out into the main dining room - especially with that AC a blowing. Also, if a person gets covered in said fecal matter because of it's presence in the air, then when they walk out to the dining room and start breastfeeding their baby - it will be all over them.. Even if they clean their hands, it will be on their clothes and transfer to their hands when they separate their blouse. Etc.0 -

Thank you. I agree with you about much preferring discussing ideas with someone who is calm even if in disagreement. I appreciate the courtesy back. :flowerforyou:
I agree just about all public places in some ways are a bit disgusting. Our grocery store offers disinfecting wipes for the carts because of this. (I admit I don't bother using them, but I may if I was putting my child in them.) And the way people act in public is usually cleaner than the way they act in the bathroom, which is why I am not in favor of women being forced to feed in these places. I've seen people leave dirty diapers on those couches in "family" restrooms. The air content in a restroom is just not a place I would want to feed my child. There are times when I can't even use a public restroom until the "air has cleared" so to speak or until an employee goes in cleans them. It's really disturbing to me how many people are comfortable getting a part of their business on the seat, floor, or even wall and then LEAVING it there.0 -

Ok, then you may as well eat your meal in the restroom. Why don't you? I'd still rather have my friends breastfeed their babies in an environment where they were covered with fecal matter once than continuously being exposed to freshly produced and ongoing bacteria. I also do not believe that the air in the restaurant is going to be the same as the air in the restroom. Just don't. And I do believe most places in general are cleaner than the restroom overall. Of course some places won't be. And if I were mom, I wouldn't feed my baby in those places either unless an absolute necessity.
For real, why don't you eat your meals in the restroom?
Taking all hygiene and medical reasons aside, I don't expect my friends to sit in a place where people are creating offensive smells and sounds just because someone feels like the site of a baby attached to their breasts is a trainwreck they just can't look away from.0 -

It's quite sad. I was at a restaurant recently where someone changed a very messy diaper and left it as well as soiled paper towels all over the counters and sinks. I pity the cleaning staff at restaurants.
Let me propose another idea. Why not pump before going out and have that milk available to feed the baby when at a restaurant?0 -

Apparently it isn't.0 -
I think if she doesnt mind people staring then fine... But if you are gonna complain because someone is starting at your with your breast out. That is where I would have an issue. Dont complain if you are the one with your buisness out for everyone to see.
I have heard of some females thinking they have the right to pull it out wherever they want and then complain people are starting at them. This I disagree with it is a public showing and if you arent comfortable with someone looking then there are lots of other ways to do it in private. Also others are just looking for attention.0 -
It was your choice to look at a thread that says 'Breastfeeding pics'. Enjoy the breastfeeding pics.this is going to come across completely wrong....and i dont mean anything by it at all... but breastfeeding freaks me out and makes me feel a little bit queasy...
quite a few shopping centers now have "family rooms" or "parent rooms" i think more places should... "We have two Parent Rooms with changing facilities, private areas for feeding and child-sized sinks and toilets. They also offer a mix of other family-friendly services including bottle warmers and a play area and television for older children."
im going to add this so i dont get the nastyness some are .... public displays of affection make me feel queasy too... id no more like to see someone stick their tongue down someones throat than i would see you breastfeed you child ...*shudders*

seriously is there the need to change your profile picture because of this thread... blegh!0 -

Some children will refuse bottles. Both my kids did.0 -

As someone who has not breastfed, I can only speak from what my friends have told me. Pumping can be time consuming and inadequate to cover the amount a baby can need every two hours. Especially working moms may just not have the luxury to pump more than they need to in order to cover the baby while they are at work.
Also, I wanted to add: If I had surgery, by your logic, the OR would still be inadequate because when I walked in and the nurses walked in and my husband walked in, we had all used restrooms that day and were thus as contaminated, so again, why not just have my surgery in the bathroom? Because it's still cleaner than having it in the bathroom.0 -
I'm all for breastfeeding. I nursed both my babies for 13 months. I also chose to keep it private. Though I do believe it's a beautiful thing, it's not something I felt comfortable showing the world. That's just me. I have no problem with people breastfeeding in public, or posting pictures of it on FB, but in all honestly, I think that is should be done tastefully and discreetly. JMO.0

I think if she doesnt mind people staring then fine... But if you are gonna complain because some creeper is starting at your with your breast out. That is where I would have an issue. Dont complain if you are the one with your buisness out for everyone to see.
Ah yes. I'm feeding my baby. Creepers, sexually harass me. I clearly asked for it.0 -
I don't see why we are bringing FB drama to MFP. And call me crazy, but it seems like you purposely did that, just to say something about it, and are prolly feeling really silly now that you see most of us don't have a problem with a woman breastfeeding, or posting about it. If you don't like it, don't look at it. If you have an issue with the 'train wreck' effect, your problem, work on your staring problem........0

I think breatfeeding is one of those things that can be both intimate and public at the same time.
I breastfeed my baby at home and when we're out and about, but I personally wouldn't share a picture showing this on fb0 -

Some children will refuse bottles. Both my kids did.
Also, pumping isn't as efficient as a baby. It can mess with a woman's ability to produce enough milk for her child. On top of that, if the child misses too many feedings at the breast, her supply can lessen as well.0 -
I don't see anything wrong with it on facebook. It's her facebook, right? What I have the issue with is boobies out in public, like my experience at a gym. My gym did free membership for 2 hours of babysitting. This girl and I were the sitters this day, she just whipped out her boob in front of all the kids, there were at least 10 or so, 2 being mine. Like be discreet about it, don't do it for the world to see. My kids don't need to see your tits, same goes to the girls who walk around with them hanging out. It's ridiculous.0

It's the most natural thing a woman can do. Feed her baby. What is the big deal? Some things I'll never understand..........0
-
It's worth noting that the person the OP was complaining about wasn't on her friends list. She was creeping on someone and saw it.I don't see why we are bringing FB drama to MFP. And call me crazy, but it seems like you purposely did that, just to say something about it, and are prolly feeling really silly now that you see most of us don't have a problem with a woman breastfeeding, or posting about it.
