Cafe Nero Breast Feeding

[cowbearuk]

OK ED new age organic mums, I have no problem with breast feeding in Public, why should you be relegated to the back room toilets to breast feed your child? but WHY do some of your INSIST parking the triple baby buggy in the window of Cafe Nero and breast feeding your child in full view of the bus stop outside the window? My daughter (7) was on her way to school when some woman decided to feed her child at 8:00am in full view of 7 school children waiting for their bus, TOTALLY inappropriate, selfish, stupid and arrogant!!. Two of the girls filmed the event on their mobile phones and are considering posting on You Tube, as a parent, I gave them my blessing. So watch out for Cafe TittyLatte on You Tube this weekend. Maybe they will have more consideration?

So you're sending your 7 yr old to school at 8am with mobile but the woman breastfeeding in Nero is the bad guy?

LOL surely there aren't hoaxers on this board

[macroban]

Only when Admin's down the pub.

[Ondine]

I'm in Camberwell now. East Dulwich has clearly gone downhill since we left.

[citizenED]

In the book of cowbearuk The 11th commandment states - thou shall not breastfeed your child at 8:00am in full view of 7 school children waiting for their bus. Sin of sins.

What is East dulwich comin to.

Ondine is so right, East Dulwich is literally going downhill. In fact I am surprised you moved to Camberwell. Due to the high incidents of severe subsidence in this area, if you stayed a bit longer, your house would have probably gently moved towards Camberwell anyway.

Women feeding babies? Whatever next?!!

[shaman]

Has a father I would not to upset that my child had witnessed a baby being breastfed, but would be worried about sending one so young with a mobile on a bus, recent attempted abdunction of girls of that age see other threads. My very large and tough sons have both had mobiles taken off them at gunpoint so suggest not always good idea for your child to have one unless it looks like a brick. Also would be worried about them having access to youtube at that age!

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I think it's a terrible sign of the times - everyone knows breast are sexual objects and should not be allowed anywhere near a baby!!

[Vik]

>:D

[DG]

I'd be more upset if my child had the idea that babies should be fed rubbish from a bottle. Go to any of the parks anyway, there's women breastfeeding all over the place. Any child that hasn't seen it already, must be blind!

[dulwichmum]

Indeed Cowhide, get a life!

So people are taking Cowhide seriously???

[Ondine]

I am. I'm worried about the subsidence. Don't want you lot sliding up Dog Kennel Hill and down the other side to Camberwell.

[SimonM]

>>So people are taking Cowhide seriously???:D

[Ganapati]

Actually you'd be surprised how many people still object to breastfeeding in public. Strangely enough, it's usually women. Men seem to get either sheepish about it, or try to cop a quick look; kids for the most part are curious, and women seem to have sharply divided opinions on it.

[Ondine]

I b/fed my babies here, there and everywhere but chickened out on the terrace of the House of Commons, where I made my loud and grabby 9 month old suffer the indignities of a bottle. She was not impressed and kept hauling my shirt up, outraging the crusty MPs around us. She's 9 now and I'm sure she'd be happy to enlighten Cowbear's littl'un. After snatching her mobile of course, since we're SE5 rednecks.

How true, Ganapati.

My guess would be that, on the one hand, men see knockers as a bit of fun. Jugs are paraded in front of them on a daily basis in the tabloids. Girls in the street are happy to display the lions share of their melons in skimpy clothing for all the see.. and many a simple fella has been cheered by way of a sideways glipse of some finely-shaped hooters (through a pair of mirrored sunglasses)

I dunno. Maybe women are just less mature about these things.

"Girls in the street are happy to display the lions share of their melons in skimpy clothing for all the [sic] see."

Asking for it I suppose?

[TillieTrotter]

Asset, youre being very inciting!

[Asset]

Hardly - I don't intend it. I'd had a few glasses of wine. I think comments like that are too easily ignored though. I know it was said in favour of the argument but it's the fact of women being seen as objects even though it may be unconscious. I'm no rabid feminist. I don't mean to be incitive - I was bringing attention to a throw-away comment.

[Keef]

Did anyone see that thing about breast feeding on tv last night? Now I'm all for kids being breast fed up to and beyond 2. But 8, come on, that's just weird!

[mockney piers]

Bitty?

[James]

Bitty!
