Public Feeding

if you see a toddler eating an icecream or drinking his milk, would you be staring at him for hours?

but if you see a baby drinking his mom's milk, you would be, right?

why?

because the element of boobs is there.

how discreet the mom would be in nursing her baby, as long as it is done in public, the look is there. people, man and woman, elderly or teen, would cast at least a minimum of two glances.

if a mom manages to nurse and camouflage her doing in a very stylish manner where nobody would realize what's she doing, no stare, no.

but if a baby dozes off in mom's lap, and people passing by kinda guess that mom is nursing, then the heads will turn to catch the second look.

while i agree that showing off boobs in public is totally a no-no, i also realize that in order for one to nurse, she can expertly hide the flesh, the black aerola, and the tits from view of others. so why the stare? (so that you can catch a glimpse of the flesh? or the tits?)

its not that the mom is running around without bra and shirt.

i guess boobs always and will always be a sex object. i was in a room with 20 or so guy friends, asking around whether they are the boob or ass guy, only two say they favor the ass rather than the boobs. the rest, mostly malaysian with all the races available, prefer boobs.

men drool over boobs. small or big.

women, too, can't help but looking at other women's boobs, for comparison sake, i assume.

but when you are using your boobs to feed your child, and you feed him lovingly, and you know that the first six months is crucial for the child to drink ONLY from your boobs, you no longer see your own boobs as sex object.

therefore you feel that nursing in public is not a crime. especially when you can hide the flesh and the whole action expertly.

its not like you are trying to seduce the man who sat across the restaurant with his wife and three teens

its not like you are trying to stop the lorry driver in the middle of the pack-non moving federal highway.

so, shame not mommies, you are just delivering the babies the best thing in the world. that's the real reason why God created boobs in the first place.
