Breastfeeding in public

Re: Breastfeeding in public

It’s a person’s choice. If they want to cover if they want to wear minimum to maximum amount of clothing. If they want to wear a Hijab or not. It’s a person’s choice.

Why should other’s have a say in it? If the mother feels comfortable breastfeeding in public without a cover so what? And some of you mentioned, well, people look! So? If the mother cared about what other people thought then she wouldn’t do it in the first place and that is partially why a lot of women don’t.

I know people who find Hijabs uncomfortable so will Hijabis stop wearing Hijab? No, right?

So, you are an advocate for breastfeeding as long as the mother abides by the rules set by you? There is nothing wrong with breastfeeding. A woman shouldn’t be shamed into not doing wherever/whenever she wants to. If she doesn’t want to cover herself then it’s her choice. Why is that so hard to understand?

lol… just because I haven’t gotten tired of responding doesn’t mean that I’m the only supporter… not really sure why you are painting me as the bad/odd one here.

As I said, it’s their choice. Breastfeeding is natural. You can do it as long as you want wherever you want.

I’m terrible at googling statistics and I agree that not many people breastfeed in public, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen. I mean just recently there was an incident between a Caucasian American and an African American breastfeeding in public at a university graduation. The responses to the individuals were vastly different, though.

For me personally, it’s not a problem. I won’t watch them nor will I stop them or tell them to go somewhere else.

I don’t know what I will do in the future, but I’m grateful that the law and society in my country makes sure that the women who choose to breastfeed without a cover are protected.

I agree with you.
