I DID NOT say don’t breastfeed. Do you have a problem with your eyesight or are you a product on the American education system?

I said I objected to it being done in public in full view. Very different thing.

You do understand that don’t you? Do try to keep up.
A new Mum has a choice of breastfeeding or bottle feeding.

If she is made to feel breastfeeding is disgusting, dirty and shameful, by attitudes such as those expressed by you, she won't do it.

In fact, it's pretty rare nowadays, so I don't know where you lot are seeing it.

Your truly feeble attempts to insult me are not worthy of a reply.

I'm not sure that a bloke's "chop" is an ideal thing to feed a baby ... where as the milk from a woman's breast is.

Would I be adding fuel to the fire if I said I don't have a problem with mums breastfeeding babies in airline lounges? As unlike the older kids running around and causing mayhem, at least a baby being breastfed is relatively quiet and well-behaved.........

Exactly but it seems that a woman's boob with a little persons head infront of it affects people in all manner of ways.

“Whether from empirical data or from theoretical/hypothetical considerations, the relationship between poverty and family size is underscored. Although it is difficult to determine causation between these two variables, the correlation/association is undeniable”.

I very nearly wrote off my Hillman Imp because of the exact same thing . . . in my defence, I was only seventeen at the time.

I don't breastfeed anymore but I'll bear it in mind!

I bet you most of these anti breastfeeding in public aren't anti Page 3 models or women in skimpy bikini's but bloody hell use your boobs for their intended purpose and you're offensive... People amaze me.

You should get a job on Australian day time TV. There is a daily ongoing breast feeding debate about as persistent and interesting as a fart in a space suit.

It's come to something when the most natural thing in the World has to be debated.

I think it's actually the "little person's head in front of it" that some on here object to.
