Only if they're at dinner with people who don't care. But if they're visiting someone's house, the bathroom would probably be best. I had a roommate who gave herself insulin injections while I was in the room, but she asked if it made me uncomfortable. I didn't care, but she never did it in front of people she knew didn't like it.

thus what most of us have been saying. women who breast feed in public either do not know of an alternative or do not care. period.

I mean publicly. Knowing there are facilities available and not using them is just a blatant disregard for the people around you. I inject myself 3 times a week. Would I do it while at a restaurant downtown? No. Because I have respect for others around me that might not want to see me jab a syringe in my thigh.

Same goes with breast feeding. The question shouldn't be WHY ARE WE OFFENDED. The question should be: Why don't you have the respect and decency to not whip your tit out in public, when there are alternatives available.

A. I have never seen a mother wip out her tit and breast feed it tends to be more discrete then that.

B. There are not facilities availabe which we have gove over. I expect you to think that a mother should sit in a bathroom and feed her baby frankly i bet its both uncomfortable and unsainitary.

C. I agree if its a resturant (at most its an hour and it can be planned to some degree but even more to the point I think its rude of people to bring there kids to a resturant of certain types if the resturant is orinted for couples and adults kids should not be there in the first place)

D. As far as respect goes why cant you show the same respect for the mother and ignore it.

Are your shots sproadic or scheduled allowing you to plan out when and where youll be to take them

The question most assuradly is why are you offended/annoyed there is no reason why anyone should be.

I am still waiting for someone to present a reason why they find it offensive.

The only schedule they're on is Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Whenever I think I can take it without passing out, really.

Why is it sanitary enough to drop your pants, squat, and shit? But not to sit and breast feed a baby?

And how is it any more sanitary to sit on a park bench and do it outside?

So essentially you have a great degree of control over when you can take your shot is there a diffrence between that and a mother with an infant?

(as a side note I honestly feel for you and your medical situation)

Do you shit in a public restroom I know I try to avoid it at all cost.

Well its outside so your not breathing all the stuff (do a search on the bacteria released when a toilet is flushed bad place in general for a child with a devloping immune system) plus people arent dropping there draws there.

Would you go and sit down on a toilet in a public toilet to give yourself a shot.

There is no difference, a baby will not die if it doesnt feed the second it is hungry. In fact studies prove that if you take away 30% of most any animal including a humans food that they will live longer and be healthier. Maybe not grow quite as big, but tend to be leaner and healthier.

A woman with a baby controls when the baby feeds, and as such youre wrong. A baby does suddenly die of hunger. Most babies are also fat for a reason.

Did I say they would die Billy? Can I be wrong about somthing I never said?

Thats an inteesting study, as unrelated as it might be, can you provide a link sounds like an interesting read.

I dont have the link anymore, I read that a year ago. Check it out on google somethings bound to turn up.

And if they arent going to die, then they dont really HAVE to feed, thus making the premise for "emergency feeding" as it sounds pretty moot. They can wait until they get home or go to the bathroom. Enough said.

"Emergency Feeding" what does that have to do with anything I never even mentioned anything akin to that as justification

So essentially you would breakdown the trust between parent and child (something paramount in the childs life, which is developed by meeting the childs needs) Not to mention the discomfort the mother feels by rejecting the child. All of this simply so an individual, with what is quite frankly a perverse sense of the offensive, will not be offended.

The whole argument for freedom of speech is that you can change the channel, my suggestion for those offended would be to simply not look I know its increadibly difficult for anyone to pull there eyes away from a nurseing mother as its such an unnatural and unuasal event but I bet if they try really hard it can be done.

Found an article about mice, 30% less calories and a relationship between growth hormone neat thanks

By that logic, why should the mother take the infant to the bathroom to change its diaper? If bacteria and germs are what you're on about, then I guess they should wipe the shit out of its crack while they're at it.

After all, you're just as open to germs and bacteria through your hoo-hoo.

Does the same apply to me jerking off and deficating in front of you while you eat your dinner in a public place? Im curious those are natural too.

Hmmm, let us not forget that a mother produces milk at a rate to match the child's feeding habits most often.. So not only does the child get hungry ( Causing crying in that loud obnoxious ear piercing baby wail ), but the mother may be caused physical pain as well by the over storage of milk in the teats! As the reduced ability to feed the child without pain, and slowed milk production for the child for awhile...

life is full of petty annoyances. if i went ballistic over every little thing that other people did that pissed me off i wouldn't have time to pick my nose and smell the roses. i don't particularly enjoy the spectacle of anyone breast feeding, in public or private, but it's not worth my attention one way or the other. until i rule supreme, i have to share the world with other people who are different from me. and that's all i have to say about that.

No one is suggesting that the child go without being fed, thus causing the mother pain. What we're saying is, unless it's an emergency situation, just excuse yourself to the bathroom.

Who gives a shit? If you don't like it, look away.

Exactly I wouldnt change my daughter in there.

So basicaly you equate breast feeding to these examples?
