What do you think about breastfeeding? Cover or no cover?

[missmuffet]

I know a woman who was entertaining some guests for Thanksgiving dinner.She was a new mother.When she was mashing the potatoes she remembered that she forgot the milk for the mashed pototoes.She whipped out her breast and squirted a little milk in the potatoes.She said that no one would know the difference.

Perhaps you need to be aware that women have weaknesses just like men.

 

While you may look down on a mother who has to deal with the hassles of breastfeeding, demanding she put strangers above her baby -

 

someone like me who's been visually violated on account of pornography is very sensitive to words such as these.

 

 

 

Why do you do this? You did this in the "bully" thread, now here.  Where did I mention or even hint that I looked down on breastfeeding mothers? 

 

And what did I say that was so insensitive?

Regarding what people who are not saved seeing breasts as mammary glands that give life and nurturing to a child... It's about sex...

 

Rom. 12:2

² Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

 

Did God create the breast for breastfeeding?

Or do we allow culture do define what we think of the breast and breasfeeding?

 

Food for thought.

2000 years ago women didn't have a choice but to breast feed. Today women do have a choice. So to intentionally expose her breasts in public, even to breastfeed, I think gives a bad witness, Because they are viewed first and foremost as sex objects. Yes, God created them for breastfeeding babies. But we live in a fallen world. The reality is that they are seen as a sex object, and the women who exposes them without covering up is just wanting attention. That is the way most unsaved people view it. No, this is not the way God designed it. But I knew someone years ago before I was saved, who went up to a women who was breastfeeding a baby and asked if he could be next. The unsaved mind is depraved. We are called to be lights, a witness of all that is holy and pure. This puts up a stumbling block for a lot of people.

 

 

Honestly, I realize what you're saying. But to me this seems like this dehumanizes mothers regarding having a choice and being sex objects. Have you been around a hungry baby? A hungry baby's need cannot be postponed.

 

As far as this in bold to a women who doesn't use a cover just wanting attention... This is a false misconception.

I would say most mothers (say 95 to 99%) do not purposefully try to cause other people distress or discomfort. And might I add that I know a lot of mothers who breastfeed?

Many women don’t use covers or dislike using covers for practical reasons having to do with their children – the babies. Because their babies needs come first. Baby’s when using covers often get hot and squirmy. The baby often cannot see with a cover to latch on to begin the breastfeeding process. The baby also might want to see their mother or what is going on around them. Finally, breathing in tight spaces isn’t comfortable for anyone much less babies.

 

Why can't we give nursing mothers a break?

When you give short, pert comments as you do, it comes across as being judgmental.

 

In your responses, have you expressed sympathy for what a woman has to go through in feeding her baby?

 

The article I posted previously is not the only instance where mothers held breast-feeding sit-ins to protect another woman who was subjugated to management coming against her breastfeeding.

 

Have you considered what women have to go through? Have you expressed such?

On a medical side too, body fluids are considered hazardous and treated as such. Breast milk is considered body fluids and hazardous. Not "not permitted on airplanes" hazardous lol. Folks should not have to be exposed to breast feeding in public. Its not what I want to see. 

 

I believe the CDC (Center Disease Control) doesn't consider breast milk body fluids. Is this true? Regarding it being body fluids are you comparing breast milk to defecation, urination, or sex? Curious.

Is milk considered a food? Or is it considered waste or biohazard? Is breast milk potentially dangerous and should be disposed of carefully for safety reasons?

 

God bless,

CDC guidelines does say that folks exposed to breastmilk should use latex gloves and universal precautions.

 

 

Issues not addressed...

 

A. Are you seriously comparing breastfeeding with defecation, urination, and sex?

B. Does CDC consider breast milk body fluids?

C. Is breast milk considered waste or bio hazard? Or is it considered food?

 

I'm genuinely interested.

I understand what your saying. I really do. But breasts are seen as sex objects by most in this world, period. Is that fair? No. But it is the reality of the world we live in. Because of how sexualized the world is, then sadly it's not likely to change either. it would take no more time to cover up or go somewhere private , then it would to go get the food, or bottle. make it, or get it to room temp. then feed the baby. I just don't think a Christian woman should have her breasts out for all to see, breastfeeding or not. If there is no problem with that, then why not just let women walk around topless. men take off there shirt all the time, when they get to hot. So why shouldn't women be allowed to walk around topless? After all, if her breasts are not sex objects, but breastfeeding. then what is the difference between a man and woman exposing there breasts, breastfeeding or not?

The hazardous body fluids part was not addressed. HIV can be found in breast milk. When I see someone nursing, I find it as repulsive as if I found a used condom. Because I know what can be in that. 

I do not find it repulsive.It is a natural function of a mother nourishing her baby.I am not afraid of he HIV aspect of the breast milk because I am not planning on going over to the lady and taking a sip

 

 

Lol. Good point Bo.

You know, if I didn't care, I would say "go ahead, it's your right, don't let anyone tell you your business".

 

But I do care. I spent the majority of my life in the world. I know what's out there. I participated in much of it. When I say that certain things exist in this world, I'm not going by what someone told me, I'm going by what I lived.

 

When I give my opinion that a woman should cover herself when breastfeeding, it's not because I think it's this or that, it's for her own protection and that of the child. 

 

The world is an ugly, ugly place and there are a lot of very bad people that prey on the innocent. Just because someone isn't getting physically violated, doesn't mean they aren't getting violated.
