Is it normal to breastfeed in public places like a park, mall, library, concert, theater, restaurant, taxi, bus, train, plane, automobile, boat, beach, restroom, or any where else besides your home?
People say it is normal and natural but I dont agree with it. I think it is a private thing and should be done in private. Having a wank is normal and natural but Im not allowed to do that in public am I.
I know, it is not the end of the world if someone in public sees an infant suckin on the ol' tittie. But not everyone likes to be exposed to that and it should not be allowed. Only in private places like the home etc.
Dont act like no one has ever seen a tit before. the majority of the population is used to seeing their mother naked as a child and shouldnt get arroused by seeing a mother take care of her child. I dont think its an apprpriate for restaurants or inside a school but come on- stop being so prude, america! Are we going to let the most natural thing on earth- the caring of an enfant be banned from public?
I think it's completely normal. Why should a mother have to stay home around the clock just to feed her baby. It's just a breast..All women have them and it's not like you haven't seen one before. Maybe some people should cover up a little bit but even if they don't...so what! The baby has to eat.
Bottle feeding doesn't provide the same mother infant bonding as breastfeeding does. I think it's okay to breastfeed in public places as long as you follow proper etiquette. Similar to the public baths in Japan.
I've never been to a public bath in Japan but it sounds like they take it seriously. Here's an article about it.

They have been doing it for many years because in the past most people didn't have baths. It's still done because they like it. It's not a big deal. Just like being in a locker room or using a public restroom.
The only way I oppose it is if a mother intentionally exposes her breast to the public just for the sake of getting a reaction out of people.
But I mean, like I said on my first comment on this thread, it's not the end of the world if a mother HAS to feed her baby in public and exposes a part of her breast.
These acts should be done in private. There are public restrooms everywhere in highly to moderately populated areas, while there are many private places one could go in less populated areas. They could serve as a venue if such feeding is absolutely necessary, which it rarely is.
