We have been to Disney, and they have "baby stations". I have also seen mothers discreetly nursing their babies sitting with their backs to the crowds.
We went to Disney World when our youngest was 15 months old the first time. These centers are VERY nice. We had to go to change our son, both diapers and clothing as needed. Sometimes we had to get out of line and take care of it. That is part of what parenting entails. Also, this kid should be on a schedule and looked old enough to wait.
It is women like this who take them out and display them that make it hard for others. This was really gross, not the nursing, the mother herself.
Didn't you get the memo? Parents aren't supposed to sacrifice anything they want just because they spawned...
I can't count how many things we as parents had to alter, how many plans we had to scrap midway through or how many things we just flat out gave up on doing because we had a child that needed something that conflicted with what we wanted.
That's just flat nasty man. lol...Thanks for the nightmares I'm sure to have tonight. Doesn't that kid look a bit...large to be hanging on the udder or am I just seeing things? Looks to me like he's a bit past weening age and somebody forgot to stick him in a separate corral.
Damn, I'm going to run out of paper towels cleaning up spit coffee. Maybe I should wrap my system in saran wrap before I keep reading this thread...
And we wonder why women have such low self esteem and body issues. Some people need to grow up and stop being so judgmental.
She is the one putting herself out there. If she doesn't want to be judged she should try to cover up a little. She is getting the attention she clearly looked for, negative or positive.
Comments like that make me wonder if the reaction would have been a bit less intense if she had been a bit thinner and more conventionally "pretty."
I get that some people are uncomfortable with seeing a mother nursing a baby in public. What I don't get is acting like it's some kind of pornography, or heaping disapproval on the mother in question because she doesn't look like a fashion model.
Updating this, as I have finished reading the thread.
Ya'll know what's ugly? It isn't that woman's breasts, it's all the nasty comments about how droopy they are or how fat she is.
I'm glad people think breasts are sexy, but that is not their primary function. It's a side benefit. They exist as a food delivery system for infants of all mammals, human women included. If it makes you uneasy, okay, fine. But that is no reason to disparage this woman's looks, or to say her breasts look like cow udders, or act like the sight of a mother feeding her child is so disgusting that it makes you vomit.
I don't think she's so pretty either, but guess what? That isn't her job. Her job is to be a mom, and as far as I can see, she is doing it, and that, my friends, is beautiful.
When pictures like that are posted to the world then one should also expect comments to follow. As has been pointed out before, peeing and pooping is just as "natural" as eating and those body parts act as an exit system for all mammals too so why is that illegal to be seen in public?
Comments like that make me wonder if the reaction would have been a bit less intense if she had been a bit thinner and more conventionally "pretty."
Absolutely true. The world is an unfair place. Men like nice looking women, with nice boobs, so sue us!

There is a lot of truth in what you say, but she decided to put it out there in the media, so we have a right to comment, and poke a little fun. I am NOT offended by her, and really don't care if she does this in public. I can choose to look away. She got her 15 minutes of fame, and now the kid will pay the price down the road. Oh well.
