How do you feel about mothers who breastfeed in public?

this is the 21st century....not the middle ages....there is no need to make you and your child a public spectacle...accommodations have been made to cater to the nursing mother.....there should be no excuse for such a public display of what is considered a very private moment...

I speak for my wife...an RN Home health nurse for new Moms and babies...\nShe worked harder and more hours than anyone I know.  She travelled all day in her car, visiting patients -- sometimes in places that required an armed plain-clothed policeman, and constantly on the phone coordinating home health equipment.  Often, when she had questions in the field, she had little to no resources to help her...meanwhile the parents, grandparents, and local neighbors are clamoring and crying as she cleaned a burn wound on their child or drew blood.  In the evenings after 10 long hours, she had about 3 hours of paperwork to complete, followed by - again - coordinating the medical equipment for the next day.  Then the cycle started again.\n\nWhen could she give her young child the time she needs?  When could she be a mom?  When could the family see her?  When could she rest?\n\nShe quite her job, and stayed home to raise our child.  That was the best decision ever, and made a huge difference in my child.  The money was good in nursing, but not that good.  No amount of money could ever buy back the time with our daughter that she would have otherwise missed.  The financial adjustment was difficult at first, but adjustment comes.  For me, I never paid any day care to love my daughter in my absence -- something they can never do anyway.  I go to work, and never have a worry about my family.  That peace is worth more than money, a new car, or a huge house.\n\nToday my child is older, and my wife now teaches 1st grade.  The stress is nonexistent, unlike nursing.  The pay is much less...but she feels called into teaching, does a great job, and truly enjoys her job.  Again, the pay is tiny compared nursing, but we make it, and the happiness and peace cannot be bought.\n\nHope this helps.

I know a woman that was kicked out because she yelled at the nurse. She was being adviced to take her child to an oral surgeon because her child was uncontrollable and the doctor was unable to check him. The child was in total control of his mother and was obviously spoiled beyond help and the mother was a lazy parent. She wanted to blame anyone but herself for her childs abcess so she accused the nurse of not caring. When the nurse remarked about the womans child being out of control, the mother kicked open the hallway door and started to go in after her. She was promptly stopped there and told to leave or the police would be notified. She was a real piece of work let me tell you. And I was the nurse!

I still feel the need to grab a boob and I'm not driving. I'm not even anxious!\n\nBut what a feeling of warmth and security each touch brings especially if they belong to the woman you love!

I am blessed for any Mom's day I get to spend with my offspring.  That said I think mine was certainly not the best. Alone with 5 kids under 7, who think the idea of mother's day means: let's see how much we can get away with today.  But I survived and so did they..I think..head count..yeah they're all still here - LOL

My daughter spent 3 months in the hospital recently.\n\nDuring and after her stay there, I have been on the receiving end of many acts of kindness.\n\nA former student of mine was serving my daughter and I breakfast last Sat., and at the end told me that breakfast was on her.\n\nIt was a $10 meal, but there was such kindness behind her actions; I was deeply touched.

It is a very upsetting topic even more so for me I just had a baby and to look at all the things that could happen to her while shes so little is a scary feeling but you have to look at it like this....if its gods will she can go at anytime no amount of medicine or making sure shes sleeping on her back or anything else can really change that .....but as a mother your going to go that extra mile and make sure that you do anything in your power to keep her safe anyway. We tend to not worry about anything unless it hits home insted of thinking of it in terms as we are all family and should help one another out..but people want what they want...spend there money how they want(and to be honest they should its theirs) but to show a little Compassion to someone else should be a bigger reward then that new DVD player or those $200.00 doller shoes but your only one person and your not going to change everyones mind so the best you can do it what you can do and teach your kids to do they same a little help is better then none at all......Is it fair...no...but then again life is not always fair to any of us...there rich people now who have money coming out their ass but still we see them commit suscide and kill others...who was there to help that indvisual? People should take care of people no matter who they are!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.\nThis day makes me feel so happy because, as a friend of mine just told me, it remembers me that being a mother is the best decision i have taken in my life.\n\nterry m... i would like to think that you feel your children close to you from your heart, no matter how far they are. I can understand your feelings, and it scares me a little, i do have only one son my self. Happy mothers day for you too.

it all starts from the moment they are inside of you .. how you feel being pregnant with them rather you breast feed or not how much time you spend with them how much you show them your love ect  everything a mom does in the begining shows them how much you love them and it continues i think thru the rest of thier lifes

No!  I just had a baby and it is bad for you.  Her body will clean her out naturally.

yes, if some strange woman put her breast milk in a glass no one would drink it.  But a cows breast milk is fine, i myself am a little puzzled and kind of grossed out by this train of thought

It's okay to have feelings but i wouldn't do anything about it... 1.) you'll piss off your baby mama.\n2.) You'll look like an major @$$.\n3.) You'll tear apart the family.

I've been considering it alot too and I have family members that have gone through it. They all had like a week or so of down time where it seemed like it hurt pretty bad but all of them say it was worth it in the end. My grandma just had hers redone becuase she had the older implants that ended up leaking but the newest ones are only salt water so they won't hurt you nad it's ok to have kids and still nurse with them becuase now they can fit them behind the muscle which has no effect on nursing so do what you want. I say if your doing it for you then nothing else matters!
