Public Breast Feeding - Why Should you?
Obviously, all babies - just like all humans - need to eat. However I believe flopping out a breast in public and shoving it in the little human's mouth is not entirely the best solution.
I am not saying you shouldn't breastfeed in public.
I am not saying you should rather bottle feed in public.
I am saying you shouldn't breastfeed PUBLICLY.
This lovely woman here is following nature's course, however she could do it by finding a quite bench and giving the child the proper attention and care and love, but instead she connects it like a charger to her phone and walks around unbothered. Those two women in the back, while obviously should mind their own business somewhere I agree with them.
Because breastfeeding should be intimate, and should be about having a moment with your child. Food is not just food for a baby. It is a time of true connection with the mother.
But lately we have ignored this. Breastfeeding became a task, something that needs to be done, and shut up Karen, mind your own business, right?
How about this: Karen has raised 3 children, 1 doctor, 1 lawyer and 1 chef. She has pushed them through high school and college as a single mother and has never fed them in front of 100s of stranger eyes. Not because they shouldn't be bothered but because even though it is natural it is also magical and PRIVATE.
You know what else is natural? Shitting. You still won't do it in the middle of Disney Land like this woman above. I know it is absurd to connect breastfeeding with shitting... but if you won't do something so natural in front of people why would you do something so intimate in front of people?
To point out: I do not have kids. Therefore I am not talking about personal experience, however I was a teen by the time my brothers were born and my Stepmother did breastfeed in public but she did solve it to be still intimate by covering her shoulder with a baby blanket.. everyone knew what was happening, but nobody cared because she didn't step over the line.
She didn't walk around, but sat down and gave her full attention to her son. AS IT SHOULD BE DONE. So no, I don't believe that you can't do it in public, but a child is not like a phone that you need to put on charger ever so often. A child is a living, breathing being that needs attention, affection and the proper way of care taking.
Besides that, I need to point out that meanwhile everyone should mind their own business we forgot that there are social guidelines there not to hurt but to keep insanity at bay. You don't go at it and have sex in the middle of a crowd, not because it is wrong but because it is intimate and concerns only the people taking part in the act. You don't beat up others for pissing you off. Not because it is illegal, but because you should respect the other person never the less. You don't walk around naked. Not because it is illegal, but because of respect for your body. It is to be seen by the people you choose to be worthy and nobody else.
Please have respect for yourself and your child, and consider my words.
