I think its a bit silly and over the top to compare it to sex tbh
It is the most natural thing you can do and theres nothing to be ashamed about and I will definitely be breastfeeding in public. I think its becoming more taboo as more woman are scared to do it because of what people think.

Seeing people breastfeed doesn't really bother me.
I'd be a bit shy about it though myself so won't do it unless I have to.. I'd like one of them shawl things that allows you to do it without flashing any boob. xx

I'm not planning on breastfeeding, I will try it but I doubt I'm going to do it.. I think I'll just use my breast pump instead.
But I don't see anything wrong with doing it in public, as long as it's discreet.. the man who thinks it's a private thing like sex, obviously has a sexual mindset about it - which to be honest is nothing sexual about it and very much natural.
What about the people back in the days who didn't have milk for babys except from the breast?
Idiot.

I'm going to do it in the car or bathroom if I'm out of the house, or, failing that, cover up... I don't hang out in dingy gas stations or dirty bars, so I'm not worried about the bathroom being a gross place to "eat"... It's not like i'll be rolling around on the floor doing it.

Seriously, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you breastfeed in public that's up to you. I am fine with BFing in public, I think the majority of people who don't believe in BFing in public are VERY arrogant. Babies need to eat, I always expressed milk before I'd go out because I was too self conscious to BF in public, but if I had to, I would've, I don't care what anyone thinks.

I agree with what has been said completely.. I'm really self conscious about my boobs too but I'll be whipping one out if Iris wants to be fed. And I'm very out spoken when it comes to stuff like that so if people feel the need to say something to me or be passive aggressive about it they will be getting their ear chewed off! They better hope Iris' Grandma isn't with me

I plan on breastfeeding, but I also think there is a polite way to do it. No, I will not cover my child with a blanket, but I won't just plop my boob out for the world to see either.

They have a lot of public places here that have little rooms a mother can go in to breastfeed which I think are really nice. That is my time with my child, I don't need the world gawking at me. Natural or not. But I will say if my child is hungry and there isn't a private room I will be feeding my child tastefully. If people have a problem then they don't have to look.

I agree.

It's completely natural. If baby is hungry you do what you have to.
