I'm quite happy to breastfeed but not take a dump in public!

I didn't actually mean take a dump in public, I ment leaving the set during the middle of the news report, the point I was making that if you have a job and a schedule you have to organise your life around it to a degree, I agree that where possible it should be acceptable for women to have their child with them and feed it when required. Things like parliment are classic examples in that they often sit for hours and at irregular times and it's not allways desirable to leave the chamber

I once had to feed my daughter on a bus (we were stuck in traffic) and the tuts I raised were incredible. I politely told the frowners to f@@@ off.

I am fascinated by this debate as I am in the thinking of family stage. I certainly have no problem with it. Just wondering if the little buggers could wait. If they are like me when I am hungry I doubt it.

I breastfed both of my children, I had a carrier with a zip at the back so I was able to walk round town with a couple of buttons undone and no-one noticed! I had my daughter 2 1/2 weeks before the start of my final year of my degree and wanted to wait until breastfeeding was established before I started expressing so I took her In with me for the first two weeks, most lecturersdidnt even know that they had a baby in their class as she slept most of the time and as soon as she woke up, I fed her and she was content.
Sainsbury's restaurant have a policy that if anyone complains about a mother breastfeeding, that person gets thrown out!
(PS. welshboybilly - the nipps should go back to normal once she's stopped!)

lets face it - on the face of it, its not that its wrong to breast feed in public - it might just be a bit unprofessional to schedule anything that "detracts" from your job - I mean - a newsreader wouldn't open a Mars Bar half way through a bulletin, would they?

It's all just typical of certain attitudes. Nobody bats an eyelid at murders / fights and general gruesomeness on the telly, but as soon as somebody feeds a baby on the box, the Daily Mail readers all come out of the woodwork.
I wouldn't mind having to explain two people bonking on the box to my kids, or seeing certain Blue peter presenters running round in the buff, after all, thats all natural.
