I am mystified why this is even an issue.

With all the problems going on in the world today, forgive me if I cannot seem to fathom why THIS ISSUE has raised so much interest.

Sure, let's debate it.

Maybe after we raise the standard of living for everybody on the planet, cured the latest round of devastating diseases, solved the world's hunger problem...yeah, then lets give it its fifteen minutes of fame.

Till then (and in truth, even then)...who gives $hit?

I mean, is it just me, or do people who are getting their panties in a wad over this issue just REALLY seem to have not nearly enough to do....too much free time on their hands, mayhaps?

We could hook them up with that group that's been ranting about chess being a racist game and let them have a debate...that'd be fun...

Rather than seeing the racial undertones, they'ld take exception to the chess pieces being too phallic, I'ld imagine.

It's well known that the only reason ICBMs are phallic-shaped is to stroke male egos.

What's the difference? They are all "natural and healthy" (TM) bodily functions.


DD: The milk is not being left as residue, there is no associated health hazards unlike public urination and deffacation. I dare say a screaming baby causes more public distress than a woman feeding it. What if she had a nipple on her hand and was able to feed the kid that way, would you object to that? What is different about a breast? And it's not like she's not wearing clothes, and the nipple is for the most part obscured anyway! I don't see how an argument against public nudity can apply fully anyway, though I fully support the right to be nude in public, that is for the most part irrelevant.

I see no reason why she shouldnt be allowed to breastfeed her child where and when she and the child wants, and I see plenty of good reasons why she should have that right.

Most malls here now have dedcated nursing rooms with a comfy chair. Its quieter and the baby will feed better

Johnt

we had the same issue in that demand exceeded supply-- Our slution was to supplement. Little Flub got about 1/3 fro the bottle and 2/3 from Mom. It worked. We're glad we did it, but we are very happy that he likes his cups now

What are is that? Your living room?

67% of American women breastfeed at the hospital, and 31% are still nursing their babies at 6 months.

California seems to have it right. Breastfeeding mums always going to be discrete anyway.

I don't think that legal public nudity is a very good idea either. Society probably needs taboos. And nudity is a pretty harmless one.

So she shouldn't feed the baby in public? I must have missed something in your argument... the reasoning most likely...
