i take offese to this as a breastfeeding mother. 1 its good for your child and cheaper. 2 ya you can pump but them you have to bring a cooler and then heat it back up and i cannot be heated in the baby bottle because of the plastic leeching into the milk. i wanna know what the world has come to when there are mostly naked women and men posted on tv billboards and everywhere you look. but caring for your child is nasty. as americans you should be ashmed of your selfs we are the only country that has made breasts into a sexual thing. its also not good for a baby to go from breast to bottle because they feel different in their mouth and can casue nipple confusion. let moms be moms and if you dont wanna see it then remove yourself why starve an inoccent baby and make a mother feel bad about doing something that is natural in the first place.

Perhaps this is consistent with McDonalds training practices. It would appear that you have to accept their adverse practices without question or suffer the consequences, as I myself did.

[...] some women are still discriminated and discouraged from breastfeeding in the United States. There is an increase in initial breastfeeding; however, the rates drop off [...]

i think that women should be allowed to breastfeed in public places. but i can see why they would not want a woman to expose her self in public because her breasts are a private thing and men whom arent her husband dont need to see all that… just cover it all up. and that will solve everyones arguments
lets make the world a more peaceful place for both mom and baby.

Recently I made a valid complaint to McDonalds customer services dept. about McDonalds poor standards at thier Harben Parade branch at Swiss Cottage, London NW3. The complaint concerned slow service, abrasive attitudes, and matters about unacceptable hygeine standards.

The complaint was passed on to the store by customer services, following which the store’s manager, Bakry, promptly banned me from the store. He did not deny that my complaint was valid, but was told that I was banned simply becauseI I had made the complaint in the first place.

Perhaps this is consistent with McDonalds training practices. It would appear that you have to accept their adverse practices without question or suffer the consequences, as I myself did.

Are you serious? Comparing breastfeeding to shitting and waste products? You’re weird.

Bottles work differently than the breast. Some babies will not take a bottle. Pumps can’t work for some mothers.

I don’t believe you made a huge scene or any of your bullshit story. Nobody applauded.

I bet you have seen many nursing mothers but you couldn’t tell what they were doing. You probably though the baby was asleep. Please don’t go out in public.

By the way….. why can’t they pump the breast before they leave the house… bottle it and give the bottle to the child?

I WISH that there were by-laws against breastfeeding in public. THERE SHOULD BE. I nor anyone else wants to see that. It’s disgusting for others to see and should be done in a bathroom or public lactation room… not in a restaurant (which I’ve made a HUGE scene at for seeing this act done at the table next to me… and yes that “mother” was asked to leave… she refused the police showed up and ESCORTED HER OUT! GOOD FOR THEM… and yes everyone APPLAUDED in the restaurant !!) or park or mall etc…. I understand it’s a natural thing and I am pro breastfeeding as oppose to bottle/formula BUT IN PUBLIC? NO. Farting and burping and scratching your ass is natural too. So maybe I’ll just saddle up next to one of the people in the park or mall and let the smelliest fart rip! Why not it’s natural…. oh yeah, so is talking a crap…. so I’ll just do that on the floor next to her feet….. GET BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WHERE YOU BELONG!

I’m so sorry, Grace. It’s difficult to deal with the situation at hand when it’s happening because I bet it’s so shocking.

So they’ll let you eat total crap full of chemicals and god knows what, but they’ll kick you out for eating something completely natural and nutritious? Yeah, that sounds about right for McDonald’s. It’s just as well they kicked that mom out, otherwise she’ll ingest that schlock they call food and pass it on to her baby.
