DH just had an older male co-worker over for the Rose Bowl and we somehow got on the topic of Kasey Khane and his rant about breastfeeding mothers.

DH's co-worker tried to pull the "take your baby to a bathroom and feed it" over on me.

I promptly replied "Well, would you like to eat your meal in a public restroom?"

DH smiled and old dude STFU.

I just don't get why I'm supposed to take my child into a room that probably smells really bad and is full of people taking a leak or taking a dump and feed her there. I don't even like keeping my toothbrush out in my home bathroom because of how far they say the bacteria fly, but sure I'll go and feed my baby where the percentage of people who don't wash their hands is rumored to be around 80%. Sounds like a great plan.

Every public BR i go into now i think about the posibilty of having to BF there. Some places are really not so bad. But i am a total germophobe. It really is a repulsive thought most of the time. Love the comment. No one wants to eat in a BR.

One of the malls nearby has a nursing room that I am super excited to use one day. It's clean, comfy and looks very nice. It's for nursing moms only. I wish more places had rooms like these.

Public bathrooms generally smell like air freshener and shiit mixed together. I don't even like to pee in them, let alone eat in one.

Good for you!!!

Feeding my future child in the restroom is not an option, and anyone who has a problem with it can bite me.

HEY! Feel better about your toothbrush. Mythbusters did a thing on exactly that and the toothbrushes in the bathroom didn't have more extra fecal chloriform on them than the ones that were kept outside the bathroom under a plastic dome. (all were used to brush teeth with the whole time)

But I agree that it is SUPER annoying when people say crap like that. Granted our mall's bathrooms have big benches that are convenient to sit on to feed if I had to, they also have a food court and benches and tables/chairs near all the food vendors, so I certainly wouldn't ever need to do it in the restroom.

This drives me crazy! Whenever I go in a public washroom and I can tell a women is nursing (once I had a stomach "upset" and felt so bad after RUNNING to a stall to realize the was an empty babyseat and audibly baby nursing sounds in the next stall!) I feel sad for the baby and women.

I would NEVER feed in a bathroom ever. We vacationed with DS at 8 months and stopped at teh Georgia aquarium, I was shocked that when I asked about a place to nurse they suggested I carry a chair from the food court into the women's bathroom as they had no nursing rooms. I used the chair alright, right there in the food court! The WOMEN who suggested I use the washroom look non too impressed.

Um, since when are race car drivers the experts on infants, anyhow? If I need to drive in circles for a really long time while I BF, I'll be sure to ask his opinion. Otherwise, he can shut his trap.
