Not long after Jackie Johnson-Smith gave birth to her third baby, she and her husband took a family trip to a local restaurant. The infant was old enough to be outside the home. Plus, mom and dad needed a treat for themselves with all their childrearing. However, as a baby...

I have no problem. I do feel the mother should be discretely covered without showing her nipple. No it's not a sexual act, but there are perverts. I have been in the company of many feeding their baby, some I didn't even notice till they burped the baby. Then there were a few that let it be has at home, that when they made it a spectical.Good manners never hurt.

it's a natural thing to do. only ppl with sick minds that can't control themselves from staring and thinks it is offensive.

I don't see it as a offense. its a natural thing. and its more healthy for a baby. although I myself .wouldn't do it in public. that's just me though. people shouldn't make a big deal out of it.

I love it when women breast feed cause when my ex wife was pregnant with our son she said she needs to get a breast pump and I told her to save the money cause I would do it for her and dam that milk was sweet as hell

really simple bunch of LOSERS with opinions like buttholes DON'T like what you're watching , DON'T keep looking . I can hear them tsk tsk tsk my my well will you look at that well I never , Ah Shuddup

Classless to Breastfeed in public! Have modestly. People don't want to see tribalism. Go to the hut!

Just use a little blanket for modesty.

I think it's ok to breastfeed your child where ever you are at. I do wish the Restaurants we have a nice side of the restaurant from mothers and children and families in for those that are stuck up and sluty take a set in a corner. . no baby should have to cry because they are hungry.

perfectly natural and totally up to what the mom is comfortable with.

I just mind my own business on move on.

What a wonderful waitress!!! So glad this was shared, I don't think breastfeeding should be a big deal at all. Glad this was shared

no

I didn't personally breastfeed, but I think it's a wonderful thing to do for your child, and I don't think you should have to go hide somewhere when your child is hungry, because they shouldn't have to wait for you to find somewhere, if your baby's hungry now and you're breastfeeding, you should be able to do it wherever you are.

Nice!

Women most definately should breast feed but to please the public maybe a burp cloth to cover up.

Breastfeeding had been around for many many many years so give this family a flipping brake

Pooping and breastfeeding are 2 totally different acts of "naturalism". That's like comparing breastfeeding to masturbation; people go to jail for masturbating in public. Should they make breastfeeding a criminal offense as well?! If breastfeeding in a restaurant is offensive to u, then take your plate to the bathroom to eat That's essentially what people say about breastfeeding in public. I've seen how some people eat in public and I find THAT offensive.

it's natural some people get upset about the idea so they should have places for that to happen to me it's natural just saying

Pooping is natural, but would you do it in public ?

awesome

As I have said time after no body I mean No body is making you look except you so stop looking

When I breastfeeding for my kids In public, I alway covered it because I don’t want my babies contact with all germs in the air while breathing and make babies calmer under the cover, breastfeeding is wonderful things to do and more benefits between baby and mom, more attach each other, less obesity, immunes are improve then the formula baby, more patient, ness picky about food after baby growing and so on🥰

you shouldnt have to seclude yourself from public to breastfeed like you do smoking... its a natural thing obviously moms dont want to be doing it it public but sometimes it is just a nessesity for the baby .. i think if the child is over the age of walking maybe a different story but infant babies are immobile and completly helpless .. life happens so fast im sure it's hard to find time to pump just as it is for finding time to do laundry or nap as a new mom ... to each his own. . a little discreet goes a long way but going into an unsanitary bathroom with a newborn is unacceptable.. which is the case with most situations

Holly Dennison , If had been there I would've told the woman too mind her own business and get a life then I would have said to you ... ignore her and hold your head up., I have witnessed Mothers nursing in public and part of their breast was visible but the only thing I saw was the Baby feeding , I encourage Mothers too nurse in public

A mother feeding her child is that really so bad...think about all the other thing people do at a eating establishment...swearing...obscene gestures..and to fuss about feeding an infant ..the world is a liberal place now..i would think for courtesy that she is covered with blanket

so places are now putting in comfortable chair to sit in a specific room design just for breastfeeding

I'm all for breastfeeding. I do agree that you should be covered. I don't care if you are at a restaurant, church, or a park. it's natural, but cover yourself. Feed them babies!! God bless you for doing so!

I'm not against it but I do believe it should be done in private.

I mean a person can demand a clean rest room .

Feed your child in private covering the child with a small recieving blanket is the way to go the stupid woman visited the rest room shortly after feeding the baby .

Oh look! feminists are trying to convince women to show guys their boobs so they can complain about toxic masculinity

what's the big deal about come to ny you'll see a lot worse than that nasty was started here

I always tried to cover up and be respectful of others. I was at a little hole-in-the-wall establishment, eating and hanging out with a group of 7 or 8 people (the only people there). There were 2 people I didn't know but they were friends of my friend, who was the owner of this place. When my son was hungry, I excused myself from the table and sat at the far end of the room to nurse. We were probably 20 feet away and I had my back turned to the group. I still covered up and started to feed my son. About 10 minutes had gone by when a woman from our table walked over to me and informed me that I had no right to "whip it out" in front of others. I was floored. I apologized, dropped my head and finished feeding him. I was so upset by this that I was in tears and left. I never went back and I did my best not to breastfeed in public again. That was when I turned to the bottle. I was young and niéve and it still upsets me to see women being shamed.

idk... whatever...I don't see what the big deal is...I think half of these breastfeeding "crusaders"are looking for some attention or a cause to champion hoping to elicit any response that can remotely be construed as negative.

public restrooms are not sanitary, especially for a newborn!

I grew up in the 70's and 80's to see that was just normal haven't been able to figure out the big deal. I know as a man maybe I shouldn't have a say but I am a father and say give your babies the all natural food and not science made powder. j.s.

I breastfed both of my children in public there is nothing wrong w/ doing what is a natural way to feed your baby how God intended it too be done!

cool

well its how we do things here my mother nurse 11 children she always looked execrable cover up I agree thanks but it's ok what she done it I would ha e cover up preroid

I am a mother of 3, i was very young so i was naive as well as very sheltered growing up so I didn't breastfeed any of mine, however, I definitely feel, know & realize that breastfeeding is 100% natural. I think of it as doing what you need to do in the moment so I'm fine on that aspect but I do get a lil offended with any woman who does it in public while other people's children are present if the woman does even attempt to try & cover her breast. I respect the mother/child feeding but I'd also appreciate me not wanting my young teen son exposed (especially him not being sexually) just for the fact, I don't know how it would or could affect his hormonal teenage mind. Further more it could make the teen feel uncomfortable or even maybe violated depending on the individual. Most women cover with rec. blanket, burp cloth, etc. but ive seen women literally expose the entire breast w/ baby propped up a lil by their "knee/leg" and bend just enuf that the breast drops to the infants level...

breast feeding is fine no matter where u are

I guess I never think about it anymore. when I see a mother breastfeed her baby, I think about it as much as I see a mother holding her child's hand. it is normal.

wake tfu ppl. IT is normal for women to feed their babies by bottle or breast. IF it offends you then don't look! I fed my babies my breast and way back in the day I had to cover, hide etc. my daughter gave me 5 grandbabies and she too fed hers and DID NOT THINK TWICE WETHER it offended someone or not, she fed her babies! DONT LIKE IT, DONT LOOK!

No woman should ever be made to feel shame over breast feeding. They are doing what they are supposed to do, Feeding their hungry child. If anyone is offended by it.. Just don't look. Simple as that.

normal.!

breastfed four children:)

it's natural and beautiful!!!

It’s a different world

I breastfed all three of my girls. I would sit in a bathroom with a blanket over me just to make sure I wasn't exposing myself should anyone look. Yes, I was sitting in a bathroom stall as there generally wasn't benches or chairs in bathrooms. I'm a very modest person. I would even cover myself or go to the bedroom to nurse if someone came to our house when I was nursing. I have no problem with mom's nursing in public, I just feel they should at least cover their breast.

white people are very strange race!!! they act like they are so decent with morals when it comes to someone breastfeeding a baby.yet they are completely fine with the act of one man f****** another man up his ass!! let me ask you a question white people with so much morals... which one of those Acts do you believe you will go to HELL for??

breastfeeding is natural. more mothers need to do it in and out of the public eye. if you don't like it turn your head and don't stare. #breastfeedingistheonlyway

I thank it's natural I mean I got stares to but didn't let it bother as she feed her child so people are just rude tell them to have a blessed day

I had two and breastfed both in countless public locations. I always had an infant blanket with me to cover up but I am sure I offended many. My friend’s dad was the minister at the time and he had no idea I was nursing during his sermons 😂😂. He found out years later and couldn’t believe it

I have known lots of moms givebreast milk in a bottle. You also knowhow much their getting and they won't be so hungry soon. Please don't tell me there's notime.

wow.

GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE! This is a normal part of life, do you all make a stink of noisy children in restaurants too...most women do cover themselves discreetly, it not like the just flop it out on the table...if you dont want to see "things"that may offend, STAY HOME

I would of felt more comfortable if the mom took her baby in the bathroom or fed the baby before going into the restaurant.

so..the baby didn't have the right to enjoy his food but the rest yes...mmm..christian beliefs

I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding but, with discretion. My brother as a teen would stare at women breastfeeding their baby in a sexual way and that made me uncomfortable. Whether we like it or not, men look....

I believe the uncomfortable part of breast feeding in public is when some other man stares at the mother breast feeding. I am talking about the dead stare where everyone can tell he is staring.

don't u think its weird that we have to watch women with their breasts hanging out and men with their pants down to their knees or dresses and skirts up to their twats.but to see a woman breast feed.such an immature society.

Its not about you breastfeeding your baby in public. Its about the public having to sit through you breastfeeding your baby in oublic

It's a breast, not a neuclear bomb, mind your own damned business.

why can't u just use a nursing cover? I did.

have you ever tried nursing a baby sitting on a toilet or chairs that don't have arms? I have and it's painful. why can't people just be gentlemanly or ladylike about it and look away just as I look away when a child is throwing a fit in public well the parent does nothing or using his bottle as a hammer banging it on the table. why do I look away? BECAUSE IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS!

more power to you mom. I'd do the same thing. the only thing that anyone should feel even a little bit embarrassed about I'd if baby is a noise eater. My son was the worst the way he would grunt and growl. but all that thought me was in should have wiped it out sooner. Hes now 18 Maybe For the next go around. Keep up the good work

GRACE MERCY AND PEACE TO YOU FROM GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!! I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH WOMEN BREAST FEEDING THERE BABY, BUT, NOT IN A PUBLIC PLACE, WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILY TRYING TO ENJOY A FAMILY MEAL!! WHO EVER BLESSSED HER WITH A FREE MEAL......GIVING HER A PAT ON THE BACK!!! IT WAS NOT THE TIME NOR THE PLACE TO DO THIS!!! BREAST FEEDING SHOULD BE DONE IN THE BATHROOM OR SEPARATE AREA FOR THE MOTHER AND HER BABY!! GLOATING DOES NOT LOOK GOOOOOOD ON ANYONE, ESPECIALLY A MOTHER OF MORE THAN ONE CHILD??? YOU HAD OTHER CHILDREN........CORRECT?? THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER....THE OLDER WE GROW, THE WISER WE SHOULD BECOME!! AAAAAMEN🙏🏾 📖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

absolutely nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public places... my mother did it, my grandmother did it, and my ex-wife did it with my daughter! honestly I the people is offended by it has serious self confidence issues themselves and is jealous by the fact their spouse may have seen another woman's breast! GET OVER IT PEOPLE...it's been done since the beginning of time and it's nothing wrong with it, I actually believe whole heartedly that it's very beneficial be to the child in many ways! when I see a woman breastfeeding their child it does absolutely NOTHING for me in a sexual arousal way so I don't understand why people claim it's sexual to bring out her breast just to nourish her child! AGAIN I say! Get Over It... and work on your confidence issues because apparently ur not confident enough to do it for ur child and u feel like ur spouse may find this amusing in some strange way! 😜
