For those who think its a good idea to breastfeed in a public restroom just imagine someone crouching next to your table and relieving themselves while you are trying to enjoy a meal. And peep shows? I don't think I've ever seen a breastfeeding woman take off her top ,shake her breasts around for all to see before settling down to nurse her child. And this cannot be compared to diaper changing in public! 2 totally different things.
I can't imagine how someone would be grossed out or offended by a woman breastfeeding in public. This is what they were made for and I'll be damned if anyone challenges the right for me to feed my daughter where and when she needs it. I was completely uneducated on this subject until I became pregnant and started doing my research. Anyone who's interested should tale a look at:

I think so.

If her Taco Bell is anything like the one where I live, there is only one restroom for each gender, and they are marked as such. What are all the other women supposed to do while she is breastfeeding?

I breastfed both of my boys for a couple of years (and, yes, they are both very smart!). Granted, my breasts were where their food came from, but they were also part of me. No way would I have flashed the general public! I always covered up and can guarantee that no one was allowed a peek. I don't remember having to breastfeed them too often in public, however. I guess I just timed my outings pretty good.

Dude!???! GROSS!!

I tried doing a search about this on Google, but all I got was a lot of really disturbing porn.

I'm pretty sure that whether you have an "innie' or an "outie" has NOTHING to do with whether or not you were breastfed. It only has to do with how you healed after your umbilical cord was cut.

(for the record, I wasn't breastfed (I was actually allergic to my mother's milk) and I have an innie. I do not plan to breastfeed my child, if I am blessed with one, either.)

I thought only a few little kids would get outtie's but it would grown in as they got older. I dont think I know any Adults with outties, if I did that would be uhhhhgg!

I don't like it. The baby's head always gets in the way.

PiKA -- that was just a joke, along with the response.

OP, that's not even worth a response.

So, here is no response...

DeltAlum, I'm relieved :) I couldn't believe that you would think something like that :) One of those strange things that happens when you respect someone!

ok thats seriously hilarious that you changed my quote to say that i am turned on by women breast feeding. I just caught that and i almost fell out of my chair. Thanks for the jab.

Thanks.

Not to worry. It's remarkable what you can learn over the course of watching all three of your children be breastfed -- and listening to one side of hundreds of counseling calls to a LaLeche League Leader and Lactation Consultant wife. (She was consultant for the doctors who founded the Family Birthing Center at Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI (Detroit area) Daughter number two was born there.

By the way, while Mrs. DeltAlum was LLL Regional Administrator, she wrote the outline for LaLeche League's first working mother's meeting.

She still has a couple of quotes on their webpage, even though she has been "retired" as a Leader for several years.

ok first of all...where do you live that cussing in public is against societies norms?

secondly, how is breastfeeding annoying or bothersome?

i have been with friends and family members who were breastfeeding...even worked in a restaurant where some customers were breastfeeding...and there was NEVER a peep show! no one let their boob hang out on the table for 30 mins or started walking around without a shirt on. i don't have children, but if i ever do, i will breastfeed for as long as i can. if i happen to be in public with a hungry child, then so be it. just remember, i am not trying to put on a strip show!

DeltAlum,
Your wife sounds like an amazing woman and you a very supportive father and husband! I am going to my first LLL meeting next month!

It's actually several towns in Michigan that have a law against public profanity.

Even where it's not against the law, cussing in public in a lot of places will get you dirty looks, or worse, thrown out. In my home town kids were regularly kicked out of malls, stores, etc if they were to swear out loud.
