I witnessed my FIL’s wife breastfeeding my new baby sis in law, and it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Then I started to think about how I always read online about how people think it’s disgusting or sexual, and I don’t get where that thought even comes from.

My husband and I are trying to conceive, and when I do have a baby I plan on breastfeeding. But I’m curious as to where women can breastfeed. I mean babies need to eat alot, and if I have to take the baby out somewhere I’ll need to feed him/her and I may not be in a place that has privacy. So if I cover myself up can I breastfeed in public? Are there laws to protect breastfeeding mothers?

What’s your opinion on this?
Yesterday I was in Walmart and saw a woman with her infant daughter sitting on a bench breastfeeding. Her entire blouse pulled down. I quickly looked away to be respectful, but thought that she should have at LEAST covered her other breast (the one she wasn’t feeding the baby with).
I believe that breastfeeding is a great thing,and breastfeeding in public is fine as long as you show a LITTLE decency.

What Should I Do About Breastfeeding In Public?

Should I do something about this? I went to the pool at my moms apartment and the lady who checks in the guests TOLD ME I COULDN’T BREASTFEED my 3 week old baby IN PUBLIC. She said I had to go to my car. I decided not to make a big deal about it so I went into the bathroom but I felt so offended by the way she came at me. That is like saying I can’t eat in public, I have to go eat on the toilet! Should I say something to the owners or should I write a letter? I feel violated by what she said, like I was doing a bad thing by breastfeeding my baby. I even had a towel to cover her up. Do you have any suggestions or opinions on what I should do?

Apparently there are still people still confuse a baby’s right to eat with a woman’s right to expose her breasts. Some people still confuse the lactating breast with a sexual organ. Maybe I have no right to tell them they are mistaken.

I think it’s great as long as the mom covers up and doesn’t show her nipples.

What states are not yet as progressive as Utah as far as breastfeeding?
