[ID] 905 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] It should be made clear in advertisements that women have a right to breastfeed on airplanes, in restaurants, in movie theaters, etc....wherever they are allowed to be they can also feed their baby. Women do not breastfeed now in public because they feel they may be harassed or will be forced to breastfeed in a bathroom. I have breastfed in a bathroom and it is truly disgusting!! Sitting on a toilet seat (as many bathrooms do not have separate sitting areas or even a chair)...listening to others go to the bathroom for 20 minutes or so while you feed your baby...and having to endure the AWFUL smell! I did that when I was younger, but now that I know my rights...I would stand up to anyone who approached me and refuse to go to a bathroom area. Until this is done...where women feel protected to breastfeed in public...you will not increase breastfeeding rates. Women have to go to the store, they have to go buy clothes, run errands...and they will not breastfeed if they are forced into bathrooms and are humiliated in public. [Topic]
