Can we just talk about breastfeeding in public!! What has been your experience? ....
I had a guy try to break into my car after screaming at me that breastfeeding was sick and disgusting and singular and that there were kids around. I was in my car, windows up, with a cover over my breasts. You could really only see my child's legs and feet. He went so far as to bang on the window and pace back and forth looking for something in his truck that he'd parked next to my car. Luckily someone saw and got in the way and alerted the police and the man took off. I've also had men come up in restaurants and tell me it was disgusting or shameful. I always use a cover, I'm not comfortable pulling my boob out for people to see. These experiences we're in Louisville KY when we lived there. Won't stop me from exclusively breastfeeding this time either. But it really was rather frightening to be approached with such hate. All the people who approached me were men who were not in anyone elses company too.
@ladymom I've only ever had it happen in Kentucky! Hopefully Michigan won't be so bad. We moved here when my son was 10 months old so he didn't need to be on my breast as much. But I'm definitely breastfeeding this next little one too, hopefully people are better here.
My oldest I had no problems breastfeeding in public. She didn’t get distracted so we were very discreet with no cover required. My youngest would not stay latched so I did cover with her because she would unlatch multiple times leaving my nipple flying free lol.
I’ve never had anyone say anything to me about it. My 11 month old refuses to be covered so 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve never had anyone say anything negative to me. I’ve had people say encouraging/nice things to me though.
I did it proudly openly and didn't give a fuck!! Iv never had anyone say anything to me or even a off look.( I'd let it be known how I felt if so) My daughter didn't like things over her head so she didn't there people that walk around with more cleavage showing then u can see when u got a baby latched on to you. Before bottles and formulas how do these people think it happened then?
If my daughter and i were sucessful at breastfeeding i dont think i would do it in public without any covers. I just feel extremely uncomfortable. I dont even enjoy when people stare and im fully clothe. Let alone my boobs out 😭 Im very shy 😅 But i admire those mommies that do!
Oh I had an issue with someone who had an issue with me nursing in my dark tinted window car. She got everything except a gun in her face from me. How dare you in the state of CA with the most protection for breast feeding moms! nosy....
Other than that one incident it wasn’t an issue for me. I lived in a pretty liberal area. Anytime someone looked at me crazy I just looked at them crazier.
I've never had an issue. But then again I don't plop my entire breast out either while people are trying to eat. Mom's get shamed when they plop out their entire breast just for their child to get the nipple. I have friends with double d titties and they're more respectful than most woman with huge breast that claim they're too big to just pull out a nipple. There's a difference between feeding your child and wanting attention while you feed your child.
Who knew there was a right and wrong way to feed a hungry baby 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@xxoceanbabexx like I said in my above comment everyone has their own opinion. Idc how many woman get on here over reacting about my comment . That's my own personal opinion. 🤗😙
In just this one month of being a mother, I have heard so much to learn.....everyone is staring at a nursing mother as if there's something weird she is doing...🙈
