As for people doing it in restaurants, well (a) they could always have got a babysitter if they wanted to go out for a meal and (b) there is the option of bottled milk which is less likely to put people off their food. Then again I'm not a fan of babies in restaurants anyway as they just whine, cry and ruin the ambience.

If the mother chooses not to pump (pumping actually decreases your milk supply... it pulls the milk from your breast differently than an actual baby does), she shouldn't have to just so she can go out.
And if a mother has chosen for her baby to be an exclusively breastfed baby, the mother can't really leave the baby with a babysitter because what happens when s/he gets hungry?
TO ALL WHO ARE SUGGESTING PUMPING THE BREAST MILK AND TAKING A BOTTLE OUT: Some mothers choose not to use a bottle AT ALL. And if that's their choice, no one has any right to tell her that she should use a bottle to feed HER baby. If you're using that as an argument, it's a poor one. Some mothers choose not to use a bottle and that is that.
