Breastfeeding in restaurants

Strange, isn't it, how we can all stomach supping the nectar from the teat of a beast in our morning cornflakes, but the sight of our own species feeding its young induces such strong reaction...

Yup. Even though it doesn't bother me in the slightest and I think women should be able to breastfeed anywhere they like, when I see it happening I'm still like "OMG she got her booby out!!! :eek:

" for a split second. We need to get past this silly programming.

Yes, sometimes I see a baby being bottle fed formula milk and I am quite content, then I will overhear that it is in fact breast milk and I am overcome with ~~envy~~ revulsion.

Thinking about this, in all honesty I'd be more annoyed at the baby crying/screaming in a posh restaurant than anything else. If whacking an udder out discreetly stops a wailing child from ruining my dining experience then go for it.

I still think taking babies or young kids into places you'd consider a "treat" or special is a bit inconsiderate though. Claridge's is hardly Maccy D's.

It's true, some unattractive hog of a woman getting her breasts out in public would just put me off my food, an attractive slim young mum wouldn't bother me.

Ha, you're the guy who reckons that the PUA approach is the only way to fool women into sleeping with you, aren't you?

You are reddit.txt personified

So long as they are trying to be discreet I don't have any problem with breastfeeding in public places/restaurants, better that than a screaming and uncomfortable baby.

Ok to put a slight twist on the question, should restuarants be able to refuse entry to babies to prevent screaming etc which might spoil the atmosphere? (not my personal view just a question)

Moreover than the right, many are obliged by the terms of their licences not to allow babies or, more accurately, any minors entry to the premises. I was ore-struck when I first heard about the restriction.

Did you strike gold?

I was digging for comedy gold, but it looks like I struck out as you seemingly missed the connection.

Was it supposed to say 'miners'?

It sounds like you're picking your nose to me

And that's the thing, we really shouldn't be drinking dairy as it's not actually all that good for you anyway!
