Richards 0 #28 November 16, 2006 QuoteQuoteFirst time I saw it, I thought it was cool. But, after seeing some many freakin' times where it makes you think the woman is an exibitionist, it makes me sick. I am sure that a four month old infant who is hungry will understand our sensitivity to the matter. If you don't like to see it then look away. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

ladyskydiver 0 #32 November 16, 2006 I have no issue with it at all. It's the baby's food source. If a person has an issue with it, don't look. Seeing Delta's position on it, I'll vote with my $$$ and ensure that any flight(s) that I book are not on Delta. I'll, also, ensure that all of my friends and family see the article and hopefully, they'll vote with their $$$ as well.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #35 November 16, 2006 The irony is that if the entirety of the population (or even a majority) had to do any given task every couple of hours in order to survive, it wouldn't be an issue. But because only a small minority of people at any given time have to do it, others decide to be offended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #36 November 16, 2006 I think we should consider the baby's feelings on the matter. I mean, isn't it insensitive to the baby when s/he gets the boob shoved right in his face? What if the baby got offended?? Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #37 November 16, 2006 hehe, I was going to start a similar post over in women's forum. I think it's fine, people should not get offended by it. I get more offended watching women wear low-cut clothes just to get attention. Breastfeeding is not something to be offended about, IMHO. If I have to do it though, I will be discreet and probably use a blanket. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrGuy 0 #38 November 16, 2006 What about the fact that this is on a plane?! NO BABIES ON PLANES! It sucks enough to be crammed into a tiny seat....restricted from smoking.....and forced to sit with people I avoid like crazy on the ground....and then to have a wining, screaming, baby next to me?!?! AAAAHHHH! I know everyone is offended by this attidude. I know that you just HAVE to take your infant to Disney World (like it'll have clue). I know that I'm insensitive. I know this is about boobies....but take the baby away, and the engorged boobies will follow. Nothing nice about seeing leaky boobies anyway. Oh boy I've probably banned myself now.

Squeak 17 #41 November 16, 2006 QuoteI do believe a mother should cover up,there are some ugly boobies out there, There a couple of comments like this here, and on previous post about this topic. People of this ilk have some serious issues, in general the USA moral psyche, if pretty fucked up, you all need to get over you inflated moral selves.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cam 0 #50 November 16, 2006 just because no-one has mentioned this yet.. no, it is NOT feasible (or kind) to refrain from feeding your normally-breast fed baby on a plane -- or in public if you ever go out for more than a couple of hours and don't want to feed in a toilet (would you want to eat there?). on planes it is particularly essential: babies ears do not adjust well to pressure changes, so it is the standard recommendation to feed them for at least 10 minutes after take off and for the descent period before landing. feeding them will stop them screaming at these times. also - and not directed at PLFXpert in particular - this whole 'cover up' and be discreet thing is not always as easy as some people make out. god knows, I don't know a single breast feeding mother who didn't do her best to be discreet. most were acutely aware of the potentially judgemental attitudes of people who find it 'off putting'. no way I wanted to flash my nipples in public. BUT sometimes it does just happen, for a short moment. If you are fairly new at breastfeeding you may not find it possible to latch your baby on entirely under shawl. it can be tricky... older babies sometimes object to having their heads totally covered by a cloth while they feed.. sometimes they pull off suddendly to look around. tip for those of you who find this somehow offensive (which I can't fathom, but anyway): don't stare at the breast area.. look away. everyone will feel better that way.
