I agree, I have seen way more boob exposure at the mall and museum than most women show when nursing. I used to try to find a place to hide to nurse, when my first child was born…but no more…now I nurse whenever and wherever my baby/toddler is hungry. Why should I inconvenience him? He’s just little.

How ridiculous is this? Though, it’s not quite as ridiculous as the woman who was reprimanded for breastfeeding in a Victoria’s Secret (which flashes more breasts on its posters and ads than nearly any other public place…). When I first started breastfeeding I was ambivalent about doing it in public until I started hearing these sorts of stories and then I decided I was going to do it in public just to support these women. I decided it was a political act, as ridiculous as that sounds, as women everywhere are constantly being denied the very basic right to feed their children…Thanks for the post.

We had this same problem come up in my area a few months ago. A young mother was at the local mall in a PacSun store and one of the employees came right out and told her she couldn't breast feed her baby in their store. The mother said it was obvious the employee was uncomfortable about it from the get go, so she cut the feeding short. But when she went out the employee actually told her "Just so you know, you can't do that here!"

What I’m shocked about is that she had three kids under the age of five there and that while she nursed the baby, the 3 and 5 year olds sat next to her. What?! She’s good.

Good for her and her husband for not letting this go…as I’m sure the museum would have liked. Shame on that employee for treating her like that!! gggrrrrr

You don’t want your view of boobs to be blocked by a baby! TOO funny!!!

Personally, I was too self-conscious to ever nurse in public, but those who choose to do so have that right, the same as if they were using a bottle. I also believe that those of us who do choose to breast-feed should have the good manners to make it as small a spectacle as possible for those around us. But if the lady was using a cover-up blanket (or 3) then whoever the other woman was, she should be the one to go to the bathroom and remove the stick she’s so obviously troubling her! And by the way — who eats in a public toilet?!? Why should a baby be forced to eat there?! ICK!
