Breast pump is definitely the answer.

you're right, but then there is always a cons side too..

many women don't breastfeed at all because of how hard it can be on your breasts. they stretch and sag from breastfeeding, and i'm sure you all know how attractive a saggy breast is..with all the pressure from the media these days to always be looking young hot and sexy, it's no wonder many women chose not to.

women these days are a part of the work force, and are gone at work. taking your children to daycare, even as an infant, is common. there is another reason why children aren't breastfed as much, because the mother simply isn't around.

breastfeeding until 18 months can be painful for the mother. once a child starts teething, breastfeeding can be a very painful experience as her child tests out his new set of chompers on her nipple.

and as said before, many women feel uncomfortable about breastfeeding in a public environement.

Beef, I always read your posts with a Mr. T voice in my head, cracks me up.


"Mothers should have the decency"? Come on... sure, not everyone likes to see breast feeding. Look away if it bothers you. Not everyone likes to see long hair, tattoos, piercings, certain kinds of clothes, etc etc either but you don't see any public outcry for those folks to take what they're doing somewhere else. The thing is, if the mother is breast feeding, she's likely the only source of food for the baby, and does it when the baby is hungry, not according to anyone's schedule or location preference.

I'm sure that most mothers would take it to a secluded place (and on the flip side I'm sure that there are mothers that flaunt it in public, too) if they could, but that's not always possible, especially since nursing can take 1/2 hour.

I'm not saying it's wrong, i'm just saying that they should put a bit of effort into it. if they don't have time or any place to do it, then it's fine. it's just that when you see a woman with her tit out and a baby hanging from it, especially if they're saggy and grose, then it's not the most appealing thing to see. but i understand if thats the only place they can do it.

edit: it's not the most appealing thing..... unless you're into that kind of stuff
