Right….so it’s not okay to expose your breasts to feed your child, but it’s okay to expose them in a magazine for the whole world to see? Give me a break.

There’s no need to “pump & dump”, very little alcohol passes into breastmilk, as long as you’re not totally wasted it should be fine to feed your baby. The bottom line is; if you’re too drunk to look after your baby, you’re too drunk to nurse!

If you read what she tweeted, it was “EWW Im at lunch,the woman at the table next 2 me is breast feeding her baby with no coverup then puts baby on the table and changes her diaper” … I’m all for being able to feed your baby in public, but can we at least agree that it’s inappropriate to do it at the ACTUAL table? And to the argument that “oh, but its natural! It’s ok to do it at the table!”: Sex is natural too, but I’d be pissed if someone was getting their freak on at the next table while I’m trying to eat my lunch. And just because she showed her in boobs in Playboy doesn’t somehow make her opinion about breastfeeding in public less valid; if anything, I’d say that at least Playboy is a more appropriate forum for boobs than the middle of a restaurant because you sign off on seeing boobs when you crack it open.

Tables are the perfect place to breastfeed a baby because they can help maintain a little discretion for the nursing mother, if that’s what she wants. Anywhere else leaves the mum and the baby more out it the open. Plus, it’s lunch, so wouldn’t it be weird to have it anywhere other than the table when in a restaurant?

Changing a diaper on any table at which people eat (especially in a public place where others are also eating) is nothing short of disgusting and unhealthy.

Kim K isn’t someone whose opinion I’d get too worked up about, though! After all, isn’t it considered bad manners to be tweeting while seated at a table in a restaurant?!

somewhere, some creepy guy is jerking off to that kardashian scene…ewwwwwww

Anon: Just because I have a different opinion than you doesn’t mean I need to “grow up”. As I already stated, I don’t have a problem with people breastfeeding in public; I just don’t think it’s appropriate to do at a restaurant table. Breastfeeding is an intimate act; it can make people uncomfortable. In a park or a mall? Fine, if people are uncomfortable they can leave. In a restaurant? I think it would be appropriate to get up and do it elsewhere. I choose to have a child and I choose to bring that child to a restaurant; it’s not fair to force my decisions on unwilling participants.

I agree, the table is a perfectly acceptable place to feed a baby. I don’t know what the fuss is, it’s not like women are lifting their shirts above their heads mardi gra style to nurse. Yes, sometimes the baby will fuss and move and there might be a slight nip slip but it generally is re-covered fairly quickly. If you are seeing the woman’s breast it probably means you are staring, in which case it certainly isn’t the breastfeeding mother and/or infant who is at fault.

Comments I,even though a 28 yrs old,a woman and of child-bearing age..i do feel slighly awkward around a breastfeeding woman.However,i just avert my eyes,let the mother carry on with her task without letting her feel watched.I think all those who sit and say “ewww ” would realise what it’s like if they were to be mom of an infant out in public,and when u got to breastfeed and not in a position to run away from others each time.As for Kim Kardashian saying anything,who cares!
