Is it socially acceptable for mothers to breastfeed in public?

    If breast are not considered sexual organs them why do women get easily stimulated when they are caressed ? Men are always going to be turned on by a woman's breast, nothing is going to change that.A lot of men are in support of public breastfeeding because they want to see the breast, and A lot of women that are showing their breast to get attention, it's not just about feeding the baby. Why do you have to show your whole breast ? I think that it is sad that we live in a time where women do not practice modesty like our grandmother's and great grandmother's did they were real ladies they never would expose their breast. Would you as an owner of an establishment rather lose one customer or several customers ? There is nothing wrong with being discreet the baby's needs are still being met without others being offended by your breast hanging out for all to see also if you look up the meaning of indecent exposure it means when a part of the body is exposed that is offensive to others.

    I think that these public establishments need to think about how the majority of the customers feel not just one person.I would not want to go out to eat with my husband and a woman is sitting across from us with her breast hanging out.Say whatever you want breast are always going to sexual.You are not going to be able to normalize public breastfeeding people are entitled to their opinion. I am so tired of hearing just look away, it doesn't take much to cover up, no I don't eat with a cover over my head but I am not sucking on a breast.Your breast are only for your husband's eyes. Ladies have some respect for yourself and others so please cover up.

    Of course if a woman with her breasts hanging out showing cleavage is ok and guys applaud that. But heaven
    forbid if you use your breasts what they are made for and feed a baby shame on them right it's so disgusting and wrong. Hell with all you judgemental finger pointing rude staring people! I will always feed in public and support any woman who does!

    This poll is shameful. Why give people an option to even vote on something like "no they should go to a private area"? When a baby is hungry, mom needs to feed him. If companies don't want breastfeeding mothers to patronize their establishments, that's the business's loss. And Global News should certainly not be perpetuating this nonsense.

    Also, anyone who ever thinks a mom should breastfeed in a washroom or in private, should take their food in the bathroom and eat in there! Baby's need to be fed too and have a right to eat on demand with the rest of the family wherever they might be! Shame on the mc Donald's worker for this incident and i think this mom and her family should get a formal apology from that person!

    Breasts are for babies, not ogling men. Not only is it okay to breastfeed anywhere in public it is a mother's legal right. Covering up is NOT necessary but very considerate. Shame on anyone who harasses a breastfeeding mother!
