Can a women be kicked out of a restaurant for breastfeeding her baby?
Answer:
its ok if her breasts arent hanging out but i think she should be respectful of herself and cover up, they make all kinds of things for woman who breast feed
No! If you have been complain and then organize a sit in with women in your area who will all breastfeed at the same time. It's a nipple for crying out loud! It's a natural form of a bottle.
Lil Mo, would you want to eat your dinner in the bathroom or a car? I didn't think so. Feed your baby wherever you want, and if people stare so what.
Also, a mother doesn't have to cover up. If it is hot it'll make the baby too hot and it's sometimes uncomfortable for the mother. You don't have to sit in the corner of a restaraunt, you don't have to cover up, you don't have to go to the bathroom.
She should be if she did it publicly. There are better places to feed your baby. Try a bathroom. Or go out to the car. I mean, people are only trying to eat you know.
If you think that we woman should be able to do this in public then I don't agree. Sex is a natural way of life and we shouldn't do it in public. Using the bathroom in a natural way of life and we don't go around shitting on sidewalks and stuff. I mean, the is a restroom in the restaurant and she could cover herself with a blanket or something if she decides to do it in the restaurant.
WELL LIKE I SAID, SHE CAN COVER UP, I'm not saying people can't stand seeing her breast but what about CHILDREN? Or YOUNGER KIDS?? The baby doen't have to eat while the mother eats, she can eat after the mother eats..WHEN THEY LEAVE THE RESTAURANT.
That's a really dumb question... I think you know the answer to it.
i don't think you want to make a huge thing of it, but if you're sitting in a quiet window seat, na dyou do it with the least fuss possible, i think it's fine.
to be honest im really not sure
a woman is allowed to breastfeed anywhere in the US that a baby is allowed to go.
i hate the way people thnk you shouldnt be allowed to do this in public... it is natural its a way of life, what is wrong with it, altho i say all that you would be better off asking before hand, stick to your guns BREAST IS BEST
Most women don't actually show everything whilst breastfeeding so the only way you'd get an eyeful is if you are staring at the woman the whole time.
And no, she shouldn't be kicked out- everyone else is eating there, why shouldn't the newborn?
I hope no-one still thinks that babies should be fed in grotty bathrooms with their underdeveloped immune systems.
If people don't like seeing someone breastfeeding, the VERY SIMPLE solution is for them to LOOK AWAY. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out!
Not nessecarily, but if you just let it all hang out, expect to be asked to leave. There's a difference between indecent exposure and harmless breastfeeding. I suggest you be seated in a area where not alot of nosey people will specualte and complain to the manager. And keep yourself conmcealed with a lil blanket.
Yes it is exposure. Now if she is doing it in the bathroom then there is no reason why anyone should kick her out. But if someone gets offended by it then there is a possibility that she can be kicked out.
Actually, some restraunts allow and some dont.
She shouldn't be kicked out but she should cover up her breast and don't show it to everyone
No she cannot be kicked out. She should try to cover up so that she does not make others uncomfortable. This is not however always possible, some babies do not like to be covered up they like the contact with their mother and being able to make eye to eye contact, I nursed for 12 months. I have nursed in restaurants with a blanket, but this is not for all. It would be nice if all public places had a place a mother could go to nurse so that she and her child were comfortable without others becoming upset.
I managed a restaurant for a few years and only ever asked one person to cover up while breast feeding (and she removed her tshirt and bra and sat in the middle of the restaurant practically naked.. and I would have asked anyone to remain dressed - breast feeding or not).
Most women were discrete and the few customers who were ever offended moved to another part of the restaurant. No big deal.
I think if you not putting on a show of your boobs and are discretely feeding your child that no one should be able to ask you to leave.. not sure what the law is on this one tho.
You can't bring your own alcohol into a bar, and you can't bring your own food to a restaurant. Plus, if you're deliberately exposing yourself, the owner of the establishment has every right to eject customers who refuse to abide by reasonable standards. It is ridiculous to expect bared breasts in an eating establishment. And there is no need. It is simple to cover both breast and baby while feeding.
Typically, what everyone I know does is if they are breast feeding in a restaurant or public place (sometimes a newborn gets hungry. you cant ingore it!) is to bring a small lightweight baby blanket. While the baby is feeding, take the blanket and drape it over your shoulder, covering the baby and your breast. It is simple and effective, without causing too much rpessure on the baby. Many people carry these in their diaper bags or in the car seat. So it is already handy. Quick, simple and gives a little privacy to keep offended parties from complaining.
I'm not sure. but showing your bare breast in public some people don't want to see that and there maybe kids around.just put some of your milk in a bottle and bring it with you or find a better place.
No, breastfeeding is legal in the U.S.
If you are disturbed by the sight of a baby eating, look away.
But an even better option would be to grow up, stop being a pervert, and realize that breastfeeding is a totally normal. The fact that we don't see it is because most mothers are usually discreet. Babies don't always latch on easily and often hate having a blanket on their heads, but that is no reason to send a mom and baby into a dirty bathroom.
A woman has the legal right to breastfeed anywhere she has the right to be.
Most mothers are reasonably discreet when nursing in public. If you're REALLY trying to see then you might get a peek when she is latching baby on/off the breast.
Now if she's taking her shirt off, then that's a bit different.
If she is in Dane Co, WI, the person(s) telling her to cover up will get a $200 fine if it is reported.
Now if she is intentionally exposing her breasts, as in taking her shirt off leaving only her bra or something like that then I would say yes because that is not appropriate attire to wear out unless at a beach.
