As a MOTHER I'm going to reply to this thread.

While I don't like seeing breasts out in the open, if another mother is covered up neatly feeding her child then fine.
They do have rooms in malls now where a mom can go to feed her baby... Some rather nice rooms with comfy sofa's and nice music etc.

However no restaurant that I've been to, offers such a room. So if a mom brings a feeding blanket, and needs to feed the child then fine. I'd personally rather have a quiet feeding baby nearby than a screaming angry unhappy infant.

Baby's are also fed on a schedule. Sometimes mom's go out during that schedule and it's out of their control. We shouldn't have to sit at home an extra 2 hours waiting for feeding time to roll around. We are people too, and if we would like to go out then so be it.

Like I said before, as long as feeding is kept undercover where's the problem at?

People bitch all the time because baby's are crying in restaurants etc.... but then they turn around and bitch because the mother's are trying to take care of the crying infant?? Honestly, where's the logic in that kids?

I know one mother who's infant was hungry, and she was on the interstate coming home.. She was able to pull off into a grassy patch and feed that child.. A cop did come along and ask what was up but when he found out she was taking care of the infant he sat behind her making sure no one came along etc.

Also, if you're in a restaurant trying to eat your meal and you get sat by an infant simply ask to be moved to where the mother/child is out of sight. Then there wont be an issue for you, and the child that needs food, can get fed.


I see a lot of 15 year olds replying saying they hate it etc... When you become a parent, come back to this group and then let us know how you feel about it. Until such time, you do not know how the mother feels, you do not know how the infant feels and you do not know what is best for that infant at the time.
