The difference would be in experiences. Some women state such because they have had just that one or two children that were willing to take a bottle or be covered by a blanket. I have nursed seven and have had various experiences. None of mine would tolerate being covered other than my shirt over the breast, but not their face and two rejected a bottles (of every type and with EBM, whether attempted by myself or by another).
As you know from having a NICU baby, there are many obstacles that various mothers face.
My second youngest didn't like being under covers either, which is why I nursed him at home before we'd go out. Better to do it that way than have a screaming baby in a public area.
Again, it's more about what I perceived to be the right thing to do. Just because the law says it's okay to just whip it out and do it doesn't mean it's right for all occasions.
I'm still trying to understand why a woman breastfeeding in public is a problem for some people? Are breasts that frightening to some people?
Personally, for me, it's a matter of hygiene. I would be just as upset with someone wearing a skimpy shirt at a buffet as I would be with someone whipping a nipple out to breastfeed. Again, people need to go potty, but we don't just go potty wherever we want. Why are people so afraid of pee? Urine is actually bacteriostatic, meaning it has no bacteria. Yet we have to go potty in private and you can even get a ticket for peeing in public! The horror!
Breast feeding in a restaurant I don't mind perfectly natural I draw the line however when someone changes a poopy diaper in a restaurant now that's sick and should be done in a bathroom.
Ugh, I knew a mom who would do that. It didn't matter where she was, if her kid needed a diaper change she'd do it right there. It didn't help that her one boy was in diapers still when he was four years old. It got to the point where we were at the mall once and he pulled his pants down, laid down on the floor in a store and told his mommy that she needed to change his poopies. AND SHE DID!!
Oy.
Why wasn't Beyonce arrested at the Grammys?
Crack is whack, but they got to see the crack to arrest her for possession...
Seriously, though, she probably could've been if she had been showing anything more. Although, this being the grammys and all, no one really cares. I mean, look at the dress that Rose McGowan wore when she was dating that weird guy Marilyn Manson. I think it was just some lace she sewed together.
Hollywood's kind of a different ballgame. If I wore that dress to some fancy outlet here in Mankato, I imagine I might not get arrested but I'm sure everyone would be a-talking and the phones would be a-ringing "did you SEE what that hussy Preacher's Wife had on last night? Oh my goodness! What IS this world comin' to??"
