Restaurants, the airport, stores, etc. I can't imagine not giving my child the comfort and nourishment that he needs just because it might offend someone.Micah Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754649989819227445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18543231.post-933982896215028522009-01-07T20:28:00.000-06:002009-01-07T20:28:00.000-06:00I heard my dad tell a story about a lady breastfee...I heard my dad tell a story about a lady breastfeeding in a restaurant. Another customer came over and said, "I find it offensive that you are doing that." The breastfeeding mother said nothing but discreetly stopped. She then went to the complaining woman and took the spoon out of her teenager's hands. "If you find my feeding my child offensive, then I must ask that you not feed your child." <BR/><BR/>After a manager was called, the lady with the teenager was asked to leave (the one doing the complaining).<BR/><BR/>So... I love that story.Sara_Smileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599202195734754148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18543231.post-24389580164435480732009-01-07T16:04:00.000-06:002009-01-07T16:04:00.000-06:00wow.

I suppose the venue makes all the difference...eating out at a NICE restaurant on one's anniversary and seeing it bothers me. Seeing (and hearing it) at church -- like in the pews DURING the service bothers me. But it doesn't bother me for the same reasons as most, I don't think. <BR/><BR/>To me, breastfeeding is such an intimate act. It's almost holy, even. Something so rare and precious that only a mother and her child can engage in. I guess, to me, something so special should be kept private and shared only within the family??? <BR/><BR/>But what do I know, right? This is all coming from someone who's never been down that road. <BR/><BR/>P.S. 20/20 had a special on a few weeks ago that explored several mothering issues. Breastfeeding was one of them, only they interviewed moms who were still breastfeeding their children at ages 2.5, 5, and 8!!!! Now if I saw that in public...that might weird me out, to be honest.clshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912681286902880070noreply@blogger.com
