Surely the time to feed an infant that's breast-fed is when he/she wants the feed ?

WTF has it got to do with anyone else ?!

You seriously think the child should have to wait (possibly an hour or more) because you've a hang-up over a child being fed of the boob.

It's not women's rights, it's the CHILDs right.

Babies don't sit up and eat 3x square meals a day like their parents.

They tend to feed frequently and sometimes a little at a time.

Just because you associate breasts with your sexual beliefs, no need to lay that on mums feeding babies - it's separate, so get over it. Whatever could be wrong with a Mum breast feeding a child ?

Just cos the breasts aren't out for your benefit, it's suddenly not on.

Hypocritical or what !

For a start the only person to mention sex is KK. I doubt breast feeding Mom would get her breast out to feed the kid at a football match for example. Or if Mom was at a restaurant on Brick Lane I bet she wouldn't get her breast out. No, she would either feed said kid beforehand in private, or take kid to loo or elsewhere, or feed breast milk that has been expressed to said kid. So Mom would not choose to 'shock' or cause offence in those situations. Public breast feeding is choice, not necessity, feeding is necessary, in public its not.

You cannot timetable an infant's hunger or (more accurately) need to nurse, UncleBen.

But even if you could, why should you? Why should mothers and babies be rushing out during the two or three hours between feeds in order to prevent the "baby is sucking" thought going through your head.

I'd breast feed a baby anywhere where I am permitted to take a baby, using a nursing shawl (which means you don't see anything. In fact, even without a shawl, you won 't see anything unless you bend over the woman's shoulder. Is anyone here actually claiming to have seen the exposed breast of a nursing mother in public? Because I have only seen that in rural Tanzania.)


I'd certainly breastfeed in Brick Lane (why not?) just as I have in church (sister's wedding, baby 9 days old, which means a feed lasts about 45 minutes and you have about one hour, 75 minutes tops between feeds. Also Southwark Cathedral one Christmas Eve, baby about 10 weeks.)

Football match ? You think babies that are too young too eat proper food get taken by their Mothers to football matches, really ?!

You forgot skydiving and snorkelling, the Mother may not choose to feed their child whilst doing those, too. Strong argument, UncleBen.

It's absurd to suggest that breast-feeding in public is done (even occasionally) to shock others. What's shocking about it ?! Again, your sexual hang-ups shining through UncleBen ?


What exactly is shocking about breast-feeding ?

Do say, please. You've called it as shocking so HOW ??


You don't even see the breast, it's usually covered with a cloth, there's not much noise, it doesn't smell, there's no blood, no one dies.

The Scene - A busy Supermarket. 10 minutes wait then the person in front get to be served.

After totting up the bill the assistant asks for 14.99. At this point person in front starts searching for a wallet or purse. After much fumbling and emptying of bags and pockets out comes a purse or wallet. Then they start counting out the exact amount 60, 65,70 74 no sorry I haven't got the right money. They they hand over a ?20 Note. WHAT A FLIPPING WASTE OF TIME. Did they not realise they would have to pay while they waited in the queue? Could they not have a bit of a guess as to how much is due while waiting. ARGGGGGGH!

    • Last time I was in there, after a 10-minute queue, it took nearly 10 minutes to prepare postage for a large letter to Ireland. Felt like I was in the last century. 
    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother.
