this makes me angry and sad. one comment about this said:
There are laws against public indecent exposure Jenbitchn247, breastfeeding in public is incestous and child molesting. You sound like a real bitter hateful person, i better hope i dont see you in public putting your kid up on public display. I may just report you to the child welfare for child sexual abuse. Self centered trashy wh8res with no life who think that this sh*t is so cool to do in public.

Ha ha this guy had no point he just rambled on and on. I don't understand why he would just still sit there if it bothered him that much, I dislike close minded people like him.

Happy Breastfeeding everyone!

[kat_langan]

oh I know I read that! I would love to get face to face with these idiots! This just makes me absolutely angry! They have no Idea what so ever what they are talking about! Im going leave them a peace of my mind on youtube.

[kat_langan]

ok so I just left a piece of my mind on youtube lol, god I am so mad right now at the comments people are leaving!

[BrandiJR]

I do not agree with this guy is any way, but I do have to say ME personally, I would not sit by someone that I did not know. That is me!

[nma]

I watched this and read some of the replies and while I do not agree with him in any way I think that both sides are being close minded. I think that we should be able to respect others whom are not comfortable around some one with their breast exposed. I also believe that probably less of her breast was exposed than we see with low cut tops and that he was exaggerating in order to make his point. I do not think it is good advocacy to try to shove it down others throats just because they are do not understand and are ignorant. I think that we should find more appealing ways to reach out to them. I know that I am having to open up conversations on breastfeeding with my own family and friends. I know that I am still learning and that they are as well. We have to teach them and help them adopt a healthier view of woman's breast and what their true purpose is other than the purpose our patriarchal society tells us.

who has that much free time to tape themselves discussing his "incident" at the mall. I used to think I could never breastfeed in public until I had an extremely hungry baby and I guarentee you everyone at the mall appreciated my bf him to quiet him down!

[USAFeyez06]

Oddly enough, I happened to watch this last night after watching the Australian breastfeeding commercial... I was so pissed. I couldn't sit through 20 seconds of listening to this arrogant, ignorant, selfish, jerk off speak. After reading some of the comments and the oh-so-lovely comments he replied back with I almost signed up to leave a comment, until I realized it wouldn't matter anyway. He is so far gone and not worth any of our time, ladies.

I will say this... if I ever run into this man, I will be sure to whip out my breast and feed my child like nature intended. And before he gets so disgusted he has to leave, I'll be sure to "accidentally" spray some milk his way.

GRRRRRRR:mad:

[bluejeanbaby]

I, too, am enraged by this kid's heinous commentary, but I admire and respect the ladies who calmed me down by saying that he's too far gone and that it wouldn't make a difference. However, it feels good to vent!

This is a problem ladies!!!! I am definantly fed up with the double standard that we are given that breast feeding is the best thing to do for our babies, and then when we do do it , people are like ohhh nooo you better not do that around me or dont do that in public its dirty.... do they suggest we all go out to the back yard and build a little red tent to live in for the next year or so... to avoid offending someone??? This kind of school of thought has me sooooooooooo sick of some people.... why is breast feeding so dirty to some people? I like in south america for 3 years and there you se BFing everywhere. I would even see women on the curb of a sidewalk sitting down BFing... and no one thinks anything of it. It is truely sad that our culture has made such a beautiful thing so sinister...

[Korena_O]

I tend to agree with nma, while I think this guy deffinetly could have used more tact and while bfing is natural and normal so is pushing your baby out the way it was intended. That being said it's still a private moment because it happens out of a private part and like it or not your breast is still a private part of your anatomy. That's why woman don't go topless at most beaches likewise sometimes you have to realise that it can make some people uncomfortable. Just like we expect them to respect our right to feed our children we need to respect them and do it in a somewhat descreat way my son wouldn't feed under a blanket so I did it in the backseat of my car when need be. It's not to say you need to be embarassed of it but it's a two way street and that's how you can weed out the absolute jerks from people who are good people just a little uneasy.

[madelsmama]

Wow, Korena O, that's a long sentence.

[Korena_O]

Yes it is. I had to keep leaving the computer as my little one was fussy. I hope that's a little better.

[Ton-Ton]

sadly, we are in a society that would rather see all of a woman's cleavage or butt cheeks but heaven forbid you feed your child in publi8c from your breast because that would be indecent exposure. I would much rather see a woman nurse her baby than someones butt crack, butt cheeks or boobs falling out. I do agree though that there are more discreet ways to feed a child in public. I am more upset by the fact that we should "feed our children at home instead of going out to eat?" excuse me but does he stay at home all the time. The guy has probably never changed a dirty diaper, never fed a baby a bottle, he may not have ever even held a baby or he wouldn't have this attitude. He's certainly never had too deal with a chid who is hungry or he would know better than to make such a dumb comment.

[Jacksmommy]

He's got a very organized closet. That's about the only good thing I can say about him.
"Don't bf in public. Bf at home. Pump and feed baby a bottle." These are his 3 gems of advice. I just can't be bothered by people like him. I can't get enraged or even worked up at all.

[Aleida]

I tried to actually put myself in his shoes. He does not seem educated about breastfeeding. Many people mistakenly think that it is something that can wait (without first realizing that babies cannot wait!).

I tried not to get upset-he obviously represents a chunk of the public that feels BF is a private thing, to be done under a tent where no one can see.

So, once againl, more education for the general public, more awareness, more support for moms, more places to BF, etc. need to be in our social infrastructure.

There was a time when it was obsene for women to wear pants not dresses! So, I hope the BF public perception will also change.

I can respect that BF makes some people uncomfortable. However, asking women to be discrete is putting in many cases an unreasonable burden on moms. The world just isn't baby or breastfeeding friendly. In my area, breastfeeding in a car isn't going to happen for most of the year because it is just too dang hot.

And many babies don't like to nurse under a blanket. How would you like to lay under a blanket when eating?

Really, the burden has to be on the people who are uncomfortable. If it makes you uncomfortable, look at something else! It's easy. Or else get behind creating a more mom-friendly world.
