What version of it?I confess that I think that they should use Zangief's theme for the second season of The Americans.

Why do you feel it's inappropriate?
I try to respect people's feelings and usually tell women to put a towel over my head.I never had an opinion about it until today after seeing it for myself in person. Breastfeeding in public is inappropriate.
I think that's something that should be done in private, not in a booth at Waffle House. Granted, it is Waffle House, but anywhere else I would feel the same. It's weird to see a stranger letting an infant suck on her tit ten feet away from you.
So newborns can't eat in public?That's what boobs are FOR.

There are breast pumps, too.So newborns can't eat in public?That's what boobs are FOR.

It's a natural thing.
Or they could just refrain from doing it and not risk making the people around them uncomfortable.Even then, if it weirds you out to see it, here's a novel a idea: DON'T LOOK AT IT!
Seriously.What she said.
It's a natural thing. I don't know how it was where you were but usually the mom drapes one of those baby towels over her chest and baby. Even then, if it weirds you out to see it, here's a novel a idea: DON'T LOOK AT IT! If it's weird for you imagine how weird it feels for them to have some stranger to be gawking or stealing glances at them.
You still need to take time out of your day, and they are noisy and from what I've heard, sometimes painful. I only know women who used them because they had no choice - they were back at work without the baby and the milk needed to go somewhere.There are breast pumps, too.
Sometimes that just isn't possible. You really want to force a mother to sit on a public restroom toilet so her newborn can eat? Just how hygienic is that?Sure, but I don't think it would be a hassle for a woman to go somewhere and do it in private or wrap a towel around herself or something.
That doesn't mean it should be done in public.

I don't feel strongly about public breastfeeding either way, but I understand where Blitzkrieg is coming from.
I confess that I've lost a lot of respect for my brother, to the point where I don't think I can ever look him in the face again. But because most people in my family won't understand why, and because I can't talk about it, I know that I'm going to gain an even bigger reputation of being the bad guy with them.
I don't think a woman should be made to feel bad for something that is perfectly natural because of our society's hangups about nudity.
Which is why I said covering themselves would be an acceptable alternative.Sometimes that just isn't possible.
