To us they are just baby feeders once we start breastfeeding not boobs. I wish more people would understand this. Do they not realize that wetnurse used to actually be a job title. Ya know before that shit they call formula...So thank you sir.

Second time I've linked to it on our Wall. I keep coming back to this one for its humor and straightforward commentary. Thanks for giving a voice to the many men who *do* support a woman's right to nurse, or, more accurately, a child's right to eat.

Last I knew that was not a source of food for a feeding child. The next time I see a mom completely topless feeding her child will be the first time. Do you think they enjoy feeding their child when jerks like you are staring at them. I like breasts as much as the next guy but you have to see them for their natural purpose, TO FEED A BABY!

In my opinion if a woman can go around breast feeding without a top, then I want to walk around without pants. If there is a no service type sign, then rules should be followed. If not followed then again I'm taking my pants off. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Personally, before anybody decided to type this they should have given it a lot more thought. If I get a response that they stumbled around on writing this article for 6 months I'll be shocked. It seems poorly thought out and doesn't weigh everything from other possible angles. Very biased article that seemed to be brought on by a bit of anger.

When both were babies they would hate blankets over their heads so that wasn't an option. When my second was a baby, my oldest was 2. How in the world was I supposed to sit on a toilet while feeding one and keeping the other entertained? At least my kids weren't screaming.

I BF in public and 99% of the time I use a nursing cover but I am always very discreet (truth be told, the cover draws more attention to me. I've had people come up and talk to me without the cover and they had no idea what I was doing). I get the strangest looks and people whisper as they walk by. I've been asked to go to a bathroom at restaurants---to which I replied that they should go eat their lunch in the bathroom if they had a problem with it. They have 359 degrees alternate directions in which to turn their gaze. If my son is hungry, I am going to feed my son. <br />Thanks for posting this!

I actually popped over to check out this post because I have a post called <a href="http://www.misadventuresinmotherhood.com/2011/07/my-little-boob-man.html" rel="nofollow">My Little Boob Man</a>, and I was curious to read yours! Mine is a humor post, and I was sort of expecting something funny here too... but this is FANTASTIC. <br />I was absolutely riveted to this post, and I found myself shouting out "Yes, YES!!!" in my mind (my mind also came up with some choice descriptors for those idiots on Twitter). <br />It is SO refreshing to see a man who is so passionate about women's right to breastfeed in public. You are doing a great service to women everywhere by speaking out, and you are also setting a fantastic example for the men, too. I think men often say nothing because they feel like it's "unmanly" to regard breasts as anything but sex objects. THANK YOU for showing that you can be cool, manly, AND in favor of women's rights...all at the same time! <br />A brave post!!!

Plus, summers where I live are terribly hot, which makes covering uncomfortable. PLUS those boob covers ate just plain silly looking, IMO. So yeah, I'm a non coverer, and not at all ashamed. Yes, I tried to be discreet, because attracting attention to myself made it harder for my milk to let down. I wore nursing shirts that allowed my son to have easy access. But insisting that every woman cover up is just dumb. If she is comfortable with it then she can go right ahead. But some women, like me, had a hard enough time BFing without trying to juggle an extra piece of equipment.

Hell, try eating your meal with a blanket over your head. It's hot, it's stuffy, and it's hard to breathe. If you're lucky they'll just pull the cover off. If you're not they'll throw a fit and then everyone stares at you instead of the handful of people that notice you breastfeeding. Plus a baby who is upset unlatches to cry so people can see your whole boob instead of just the top of it while everything else is covered by baby's head. I assure you, the woman who is feeding her kid to keep it from throwing a fit is doing the best she can to keep everyone else happy.

I'm talking sweat tent. If you are one of many moms or baes who don't get the knack immediately breastfeeding requires adjustments and that means you need to see you child in order to adjust them. They also inhibit mother child bonding - staring at your child and they at you as they breastfeed is really important in bonding and with the high indecents of postpartum depression this is really important! Not to mention once your kid gets to the point they can move and start to make their needs know (mine was 2 months) most babies hate those covers and just rip them off anyways. I wore nursing shirts and was discreet too but it's all kind of bullshit to make others around you more comfortable and does nothing to promote breastfeeding.Morganhydenoreply@blogger.com
