LET THEM GET ON WITH IT ITS PART OF LIFE

don't have a problem with it..all of my children breastfed my grandchilden in public (discreetly)

I wouldn't complain, but I would prefer that they were discreet about it. Some women, unfortunately, are rather exhibitionist about feeding in public, and cause embarrassment where it could so easily be avoided. Reg

Mother's milk is best: and it comes in the nicest shaped bottles! But seriously, why do people have hang-ups over this. A baby is entitled to be fed the proper product at the proper temperature, when it needs it, not an artificially contrived modification of food meant for herbivores.

No problem with it - its the most natural thing in the world. Why should women have to go into a loo to do it - how would you like to have a meal in the loo? Stella

I have no problem at all with women breastfeeding in public. It's a very natural act. I do however think they should be over the top exposing themselves. It can be done discretely as to save embarassment to anyone (I know most men don't know where to look!! and can feel uncomfortable). Joanne

Colin... yes I agree totally strange thing is, when my wife, and her sister, were breastefeeding, their mother wouldn't stay in the room, it really freaked her out - strange woman !

I have done it, and have the strongest contempt for those that complan, when you are feeding your child, you cant really see anything anyway, what are we supposed to do? stay in till the baby is weaned? this sort of small mindedness really gets my goat (cant you tell) it is the most natural thing in the world and the reason we have breasts, more women should be encouraged to do it

The first time I saw this was on a train in Spain in 1963.........I was embarrassed........I still am not comfortable with it when my sons wife fed the grandchildren even though they say that there is no need to leave the room ...................the problem is mine ...not that of the lady feeding the child

I think its the most natural thing in the world,but was reading a story about a woman who got chucked out of somewhere for breastfeeding because someone complained!

I work in a place 'open to the public' and women breastfeed here in public because there is nowhere for them to feed in private! Most of them feed their babies in our restaurant, but do it so discreetly that no-one notices what they are doing. I have no problems with it, and so far, nobody else has either! Bev x

It doesn't bother me but I wouldn't want to see them changing nappies on my lunch break! Julie xxx

of course not, why should it be discouraged, it's the most natural thing in the world. Perhaps a little more discretion could be used sometimes to avoid embarrassment to others, but no, it shouldn't be stopped. As a bloke I do of course avert my gaze where possible lol

What do you think?should women be stopped doing this?would u complain if you saw someone feeding a child? BB xx
