    So this topic has always been something that has been under fire for a long time and I never really had an opinion about it until today, today changed it all. At my job one of my positions is called Mickey Merge that's where the fastpass line and the standby line well merge. I had this lady she was about 25 her child started screaming cause well she was hungry and her mom, I could tell she was getting super upset and trying to do everything she can to calm her down. She asked me if she could step out and feed her and then come back through, I told her of course but I also told her that she didn't have to she could do it right here. So she plopped down right next to me whipped out her breast and fed her baby, the amount of disgusted looks I saw people making at her were SO horrible and I was ready to defend her the second someone decided if they wanted to make a comment about it. She had nothing I mean she kept her shirt down but she was literally next in line to see Mickey Mouse and her child was hungry! Under federal law she is allowed to do it where ever she sees fit. Do you agree with that? Do you think it should be allowed? Do you think its gross? Would you stand up for someone if someone else was being rude about it to a mother?

    that's what boobs are for and I don't believe people should be shamed for using them. there's commercials and huge posters and bulletin boards with boobs on them to sell products in almost every public setting and nobody minds then, so if u have a problem with breastfeeding in public you're cordially invited to physically fight me

    I'm a dude, but I have children. Have you ever seen a breast pump work? They are not the best experience, and breastfeeding is the superior method to feed your kids vs formula. I honestly do not see the gross factor in this, if I were on a bus and a women is breastfeeding and I didn't want to see it - I simply wouldn't look at it, because eyes have this nifty option of looking elsewhere.

    Damn :)

    Anyway I was going to stay out of this conversation because personally I get upset easily so I know debates aren't my thing but here:
    Let write this about men
    I understand men don't like wearing shirts when it's hot. But I don't exactly enjoy seeing a man's bare chest on the bus. I have seen some horrible and strange things around my city, and other cities like NYC. You would think men care about modesty and privacy.
    Because honestly for every woman you see breast feeding there is a dude shirtless. I didn't want to see his chest but I just have to live with it. Just like going to the doctor's it's irritating for you and your parents but you have to live with it because it makes you healthy! So much of your comfort relies on others discomfort, can't you just deal with this?
    Anyway that's my thought

    "Other people will look" is not a defense against public breastfeeding though. That lies purely between the woman, and the people looking. If she is not comfortable with people looking, then she can go to a more private area. But she should equally accept people looking and/or staring just as others should accept her ability to feed her child in public.

    More-so, I think that women should be free to breastfeed where they want, as long as they do not have unreasonable expectations of society. If someone is looking, I don't feel they have a legitimate complaint against that, because they are doing it in public.

    At Disney we offer a room for mothers to go to nurse and they use it all the time but sometimes there isn't enough time for you to walk all the way there just so people won't shame you. I let this specific mother sit down right next to me, she was out of the way and in the corner but was still view-able by all the guests and she was smiling and then 10 minutes later her baby was asleep. It took no time out of my day or hers really to feed her child. Sometimes there isn't a time and place it's right now right here.

    personally, i believe its fine, i know a lot of people would disagree, i don't believe its gross as it is just natural to breastfeed your baby.

    On a more serious note, why get wound up if you see someone breastfeeding in public. Chances are (some of you, not all) were breastfeed in public or any place.

    I think some of you are unaware how it looks
    Do you know how much is exposed and how much you see?
    It's not like the woman pulls down her shirt halfway for all to see. You see very very little and what you can see is mostly covered up by the baby's head. I bet several of you have walked past a woman who breastfed and didn't notice at some point lol.

    It's almost like people don't wanna know the point of breasts in the first place. They lose all sexual appeal when there's an infant attached anyways.

    Why can't people mind their own business and let people do whatever they want.

    What? Why should mothers make noise while breastfeeding? Are they supposed to moan? What in God's name are you talking about?

    THAT is the issue right there, people get their panties in a wad over breastfeeding because boobs are deemed a sexual organ but they aren't. They are not made for that but are automatically sexualized because they come in a time period during puberty and attract men.

    "The breast is the tissue overlying the chest (pectoral) muscles. Women's breasts are made of specialized tissue that produces milk (glandular tissue) as well as fatty tissue."

    I could care less if she breastfeeds in public. I'm more concerned about how comfortable the mother and the baby are.

    Also, if you wouldn't eat in a public bathroom, then don't make a mother do it to her baby.

    It is under federal law that they can do it wherever and whenever they see fit. It is up to nobody but the mother when she feeds her child.

    There shouldn't really be a problem with breastfeeding in public. Kids come first as a parent, and if your kid needs food, it's your job to provide. Many nursing mothers do carry a bib like outfit to cover themselves while breastfeeding which is actually quite a good idea, especially if one is uncomfortable nursing in public or does not want others to become uncomfortable. Additionally, as said by others, if you're bothered by someone nursing in public, look away.
