You knoe, I read this whole thrad and I have been trying to curb my frustration and anger at these posts (well some of them).
First off, I breastfed my daughter and am still breastfeeding her (she's 17 months). I fully agree that a woman should cover herself and the baby during feeding in public. That's the polite/appropriate thing to do. And most have the sense to do it.
But what gets me is when you do do that and people still look at you like, I can't believe she's gonna do that!! GET A F**Kin life, for real. That is the reason why women were born with breasts, to feed and nourish her children. If you notice, everything about our bodies are ordered (uhh, did you think that the vagina-penis combo was an accident??). Breasts are for feeding the baby, that's it. Of course, breasts today are seen as sexual toys in this country. Look at Hooters, Playboy, SPice channel, all the other avenues of porno. Yall didn't have a problem looking at Naughty Nancy's breasts on the movie you all just saw!! Americans think that breasts are ok as sexual toys, because that's how people use them for the most part, but if a woman wants to use them for what they were intended to be used for, OH HELLLLLL NAW, SHE GOTTA GO!! Well that's just pure BS.
As far as feeding in the bathroom, I'll go and feed my baby in there when you dump your plate on the floor and eat off of the linoleum. Those thangs are disgusting. YOU go eat in there.
As far as how long to breastfeed, we are the only country, like PnguinTrax said, that doesn't see breastfeeding as vital. I was breastfed, my brother was, and my daughter and ANY other children I have will be. And I will feed her until she and I decide we've had enough. And nobody in "society" is gonna tell me otherwise. If you don't like it, tough! Those that have such a big problem with it were probably similac babies anyway. Any child that I give birth to is gonna have the best, and that's the breast. Formula is ok, I'm not knockin it, because my daughter was ultra greedy from 0-5 months, and I gave her a bottle a day to supplement, but over 95% of her food came from the tatas. That's the way it should be. Why else do our breasts fill with milk when we GIVE BIRTH!!!
Women SHOULD cover up, but don't yall DARE look at breastfeeding as nasty or inappropriate. It is one of the most natural things in the world, you should APPLAUD women that do it.
***Please excuse me, I just fell very passionately about the subject. No offense to anyone in particular, just "American society" as a whole***
