What do you reckon? I personnaly think, that its the second most natural thing in the world (After the naked human body) so why are people so prudish about it? You wouldn't stop a pig suckling in public!

Urinating is a natural bodily function also.............. Reg

Actually, that should be changed to SOME PEOPLE's naked human bodies.... :-)

Paul I cant agree more, I breastfed in public but always discreetly and people never really knew unless they looked closely , I better hadnt get too involved as I feel strongly about this, Caz x

Strange that the human breast is on display all over the place as a sex object. But rarely seen fulfilling its' natural function.

I think people who moan about it are jealous. lol

Im not jealous,,,i have magnificent boobs and have never felt the need to 'pop one out' at feeding time,,

Paul Trust you lol i dont have a problem with it after all thats what they are there for Rosex

How about this then? A new law giving mothers the right to breastfeed in public has come into effect in Scotland. It is an offence to stop nursing mothers from feeding their babies in places like bars, buses and shopping centres. Owners can be fined up to £2500. Denis.

Good Denis. :-) People should mind their own business.

How refreshing to see a young man like you with such a forward thinking attitude Paul, Boobs are for babies but fun for other stuff too! caz xxxx

pizza hut is a breast feeding friendly place, I know cos thats where I went when my daughter wanted to feed her daughter..

I breastfed both my babies in public, discreetly, each of them for a year, and I never had a single person complain to me about it. Breastfed babies need feeding very frequently, and if you happen to be out when a feed is due, you HAVE to feed them, as the milk 'lets down' into the breast as soon as the baby cries! Dee x

Thanks Dee, a mum who knows about the let down reflex! Caz xxxx

i breast fed mine,and you could,nt tell.i think its natural.and it give babies a good start,nice thread paul.xxxxxxxxxxxx

I never did it-but it don't bovver me who does it-it's a natural thing to do right? catherine xx

Caz and Dee - the 'let down' reflex - how mad and uncomfortable did you get when someone else let their baby cry!! I fed both mine until they were each 22 months - and in public - not that anyone saw. I was even feeding the eldest at the health clinic when my name was called - the nurse got quite tetchy when I didn't jump up immediately - she didn't realise I was feeding. maggie

Yes Maggie, how awful was that! Middle of the Co-op, bit of last minute shopping and a baby cries in the next aisle! Two wet patches on my blouse and a very red face! Dee x
