Cougarealist

That's why they have a mothers room. With speakers.

blueaussie

For the convenience/comfort of the mothers.

sheriffcreg

5/21/15 9:45am

Yes and everyone else.

blueaussie

5/21/15 9:56am

why would it make you uncomfortable

Cougarealist

5/21/15 10:03am

i wouldn't say I am uncomfortable. Just think it's inappropriate.

Wow. Pretty crappy opinions you have on this topic!

Go for it. I think covering up or going somewhere private is polite, but

Women should be able to breastfeed whenever/wherever they want.

You mean society, not us on CB

Heinz57

5/21/15 8:33am

Now society demands breastfeeding?

Big Daddy D

5/21/15 8:34am

there is quite a bit of formula-shaming out there. Some hospitals are pretty bad

supertux

5/21/15 8:38am

Very much so, unfortunately. There's a tremendous amount of pressure placed

Tim

5/21/15 8:43am

all I know is my kids were all sleeping through the night by 4 weeks on formula

supertux

5/21/15 8:48am

Interesting. We adopted all four of our kids so never experienced that.

Big Daddy D

5/21/15 8:58am

I actually think the pressure to breastfeed is a good thing, but sometimes...
