Sorry if I seemed offended. I agree that in very fancy settings it is inappropriate to bring a baby in general, whether or not they have to be breastfed. Surely you can see that it is more of an inconvenience for a woman to have to leave her dinner for a half-hour to feed, or leave the restaurant early, or even not go at all, than for someone to try to ignore the baby being fed and eat. |
Seems to me you're just arguing for the sake of it now, since your opinion from the last page to this has went from one to the other.
In the end there is no right or wrong answer, a matter of opinion which you have to respect others for. If they don't like it? Fine.
You do have to consider everyone in this situation though. From my perspective I was trying to say that its also hard for the staff, they're running around enough, in busy restaurants the high chairs might make it harder for them to manouvre round the tables etc.
At the same time, if you're out having a civilised meal and someone brings their family, including a 4 year old who is misbehaving and causing a riot... its not the best atmosphere there either. Nor is a child crying in the background.
You get into routines with feeding children, you don't HAVE to feed them every hour or so, although it IS easier to judge how much they are actually taking when feeding from a bottle, it gets the child into a routine for later life.
