To breastfeed at Felix’s Restaurant in Lincoln Park was all she wanted
You don't want to spend your precious time explaining to your 5 year old? Hmmm...isn't that a parent job? To teach their children? I mean really, how long would it take to say "Honey, that mommy is feeding her baby. Some people choose to use bottles, but some choose to nurse their baby." If you don't want your child to see that, then tell them not to look. If you have the right to have a manager tell me to leave because you don't want your child to see me nursing, then I should have the right to ask the manager to tell you to leave because I don't want my child exposed to ignorance— February 4, 2013 12:07 p.m.
To breastfeed at Felix’s Restaurant in Lincoln Park was all she wanted
Newsflash....the purpose of breasts is to breastfeed! Breastfeeding, in public or otherwise, is not only legal (yea, that is right, California has laws in place to protect the rights of nursing mothers!) but the most natural thing in the world. To those who say go to the restroom,I ask you this... would you eat your food in the bathroom? Or tell your child to eat their food in the bathroom? I think not. Here's an idea, if you don't want to see a mother nursing her child, then don't look! Simple. Problem solved. And lets be honest, to actually really see anything while a mother is nursing her baby, you have to REALLY be staring. While a baby is suckling, the nipple is covered!! Yes, from time to time the baby will de-latch, but the view is only possible for a few second. So again I say, don't like it, don't look. I would always attempt to keep everything covered while nursing, either with a receiving blanket, or adjusting my shirt. However, if someone chose to complain about that, then I'd just stop covering myself at all, with a comment of " well if that bothers you, then you should really stop looking now".— February 4, 2013 12:01 p.m.
