Breastfeeding Moms Hold 'Nurse-In' at Starbucks

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...eastfeeding_dc

SEATTLE (Reuters) - More than two dozen mothers staged a breastfeeding "nurse-in" at a Starbucks Corp. store in Maryland over the weekend in an effort to get the world's largest coffee shop chain to adopt a policy allowing breastfeeding in all its U.S. stores.
First of all, why does everyone need to be subject to your lack of decency in public (unless you're hot of course)? Second, why in the hell are breastfeeding mothers drinking starbucks to begin with? Based on a Google, caffeine is not filtered out by the placenta, and also, it finds its way into breast milk.

I'm sure some mothers are drinking non-caffeinated beverages but I’d put money on those that aren't. Some mothers go on an alcohol binge after childbirth to makeup for a lost nine months so what makes me think they're not doing it for caffeine?

I'm not really upset by this and it really wouldn't bother me in the slightest if i saw a woman breastfeeding in public, especially if she was a milf. Regardless, I shouldn't have to walk into a Starbucks -or- any store for that matter and have to shy away from a breastfeeding mother. Why? because it was that mother's choice to have that child and she needs to understand it's nobody else’s burden when there's unlimited access to privacy. She could wait in the air conditioned car while her hubby gets a decaffeinated beverage or wait at home.

Amen Brother! Why does it have to be done in public? It may be natural, but so is urinating, and the last time I did that in public it was frowned upon.

LMAO.

Very true...

I should walk into starbucks right now, jump onto the counter and pinch a loaf directly into the tip jar.

Then sue Starbucks for not allowing me to take part in the "natural act" of a bowel movement even though there's a designated place for the poo.

D@MN STRAIGHT!

Mrs. Oaf has breast fed all three mini Oafs...in public...but she's hot.
However, she's not like members of the Liberal Hairy Armpit Army that flaunt their sucklings in public.

Also, I have standing orders that I will not change diapers after Mrs. Oaf has eaten brocolli, beans, yoghurt,etc. because of what it does to the baby's poop.
And if Mrs. Oaf has more than three drinks (which she doesn't), the alcohol affects the baby.
