Breastfeeding in public

"A public eating place" says it all Jings. It's just a baby eating in public.

Narrow minded! On Gransnet? Surely not!!!

It is different from drinking milk out of a glass! Of course it is. It is a biological function and need not be done in a public eating place.

It doesn't put me off my food at all. What an extraordinarily narrow minded post, jingle!

That repy was to Lona. I have seen mucky kids, but that is perhaps more understandable. Not sure how you can get a piece of chocolate cake in a three year old's gob mouth without a mess being created.

Heavens! - I cannot imagine why you feel like that jingle - there is no smell or mess. What is it that offends you? What harm does it do you? I am baffled here. It is no different to you sitting in the cafe drinking a glass of milk. Why might that offend anyone? I do not think it is sanctimonious to find nothing wrong with someone (albeit a small someone) drinking - that is all that is happening.

Is it the "tit" that you object to? Again I cannot see why.

Yes. There's that as well. (Not that I've ever seen that tbh)

You can't always or even ever train a baby to feed on a schedule, jingl so it isn't entirely up to the mother. And you usually can't see anything that might disturb anyone easily upset. I'd rather sit next to a breast feeding baby than an older child whose parents feel it is repressive to teach table manners.

I love to see a mum feeding her baby.

Watching some older people slopping their food down their fronts eating, turns my stomach.
