What do you all think of women who breastfeed even when the kid is old enough to come into the kitchen and unbutton mommies blouse? Teeth is nature's way of saying, "No more breast for you!"

I personally find I get uncomfortable beyond the second birthday.

I think I understand. I heard on NPR this morning that Iraqi goat herders are being killed for not putting diapers on their goats when they bring them into town. Apparently this presents an "inappropriate" temptation, meaning: the exposed genetalia of the goats, when viewed by the general public.

Now, in this case, "situational etiquette" dictates that exposed goat genetalia can be tolerated "under all but a few circumstances" . . . Is that how it works?

What are you "supposed to say" ??? Ummm... Offer a rebuttal, or admit you were wrong? Or...just never come back to the thread?

I just don't feel comfortable telling you what to say. I'm sure if you had something to say, you'd say it. Unless "situational ettiquette" dictated otherwise.

Keeping in mind that I don't have children, I think it is up to the mother when to feed the child. Mother usually knows best. I don't think it is fair to expect a baby to eat in a bathroom or in some dirty corner, would you eat in a restaurant bathroom?

Nonsense. Teeth start coming in well before a baby is even a year old, often at 4-6 mos. "The minimum predicted age for a natural age of weaning in humans is 2.5 years, with a maximum of 7.0 years."

Babies don't care if mom is in a church or restaurant or car when it is time to eat. A screaming, hungry baby is a much worse distraction than a contentedly feeding one, in my opinion.

I'm of the opinion that the human body is not something to be ashamed of, and that breast feeding a baby is a perfectly natural function. That said, I don't think it hurts anyone to place a light covering over the shoulder to shield the baby and breast from the gawking of those nearby. I'm not about to go hide in a bathroom or alley but I am willing to use custom clothing or cloths to keep the function semi-private.

Personally, I could care less if a mom wants to whip it out in full view and feed. Anyone that thinks this is 'disgusting' or a 'turn on' has some personal issues that have nothing to do with feeding a baby.

By the way, my 14 month old had her first tooth come in at 4 1/2 months and had 9 teeth by 12 months.

Apparently, the rebuttal to this is:

Which leads to the question: why would anyone have to refrain, in any situation, from doing something that there isn't anything wrong with doing in the first place? What is it that makes it wrong, in those situations where the only new element introduced is the reaction of an observer?

Reading back over this thread,(yeah I like tits, so what) in the original link and the personal experiences of the posters, I noticed all the objections that were made in public places were by women by women?

Could it be behavior issues women have, having covering them up being drilled into their heads from youth?

Or, are they just selfish bitches that don't want their husbands/boyfriends seeing any strange, possibly better, boobs?

Elspode · 08-23-2006, 05:09 PM

No boob with a child attached to it is better than one without a child attached to it. Not for sport, anyway.

I think breast feeding should go on as long as mom and child are in agreement that it should, so long as the child doesn't have to drive over to mom's to get a meal.

Spexxvet · 08-26-2006, 08:44 AM

When my kids were that age, the World Health Org. recommended breast feeding until age 2. Child initiated weaning was also recommended.

I haven't read all the posts so maybe you all know this already, but I just learned that Victoria's Secret kicked a nursing mother out of one of their dressing rooms and told her to breast feed in the bathroom! I mean, Victoria's Secret for the love of god! They turn a profit based on the tit! What hypocrites!

I think the term is haute (or haut). Hawt is what they say on a farm.

Sorry for being off topic. Kindly return to your discussion of tits.

As for Victoria's Secret, Victoria's secret is that she's anorexic.

My long-running schtick about punching people in the nose, which I've never been serious about, may actually come to fruition, if I encounter one of these troglodytes.

It's a slow morning for me, so I can't tell if you already know this and were just teasing me... but I was using "hawt" as the mocking internet slang term for sexy, as one would exclaim when, say, receiving the latest issue of Maxim. "Teh new hawtness" is also a farkism.

I have never, nor will ever understand what the fuck the problem is if a woman breastfeeds a baby in a restaurant. I remember going into a cafe with my sister in law, her baby, the elder toddler and my mum. \Baby wanted a feed. My sister in law was very discreet, she covered up as much as was feasible given the circumstances and still we got dirty looks from the other patrons. Get over it! If it's an appropriate place for a mother to be with her baby, then it's an appropriate place for the mother to feed baby.
