Hey, i'm doing a breastfeeding awareness piece for part of my media course. I would appreciate it if you lovely people could answer a few Q's for me, you can PM me the answers if you'd prefer.

1. Is breastfeeding right? Opinions?
2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?
3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?
4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?
5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?

This isn't a debate on feeding other peoples children or breastfeeding older children, its about a mother feeding her baby and all your answers would be appreciated, thanks.
 
1. Yes. Best source of nutrition for baby. Plus the bonding that occurs between mother and baby is pretty important.

2. I am not bothered by it in the slightest

3. Yes

4. Not offended. My wife is breastfeeding our third now.
 
1. Is breastfeeding right? Opinions?
YES - My love of the 'boob' developed during this phase.
2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?
Baby's gotta eat too. Its natural.
3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?
YES. I think whats happening in China at the moment with bottle milk is a pretty strong case for breastfeeding until baby can move on.
4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?
NOPE for reasons outlined above.
5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?
GF answer - YES. Its good for baby, and Healthy for boobs.
 
all 3 of my kids were breastfed.
fed when they needed feeding.
1st was born in new zealand and at the parenting classes it was a case of 'breast is best', we asked a question about formula and the whole room looked at us like we were going to poison our baby, you will find that the opinion over here is very different to other countries, but it does seem to be getting more common again to breastfeed.
 
1. Is breastfeeding right? Opinions?

If the woman decides herself it is, then it is right. We should be careful not to make it so a woman feels she is a bad mother for choosing to use formula instead.

2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?

I'd prefer it if she found a quiet corner somewhere away from the public gaze.

3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?

I believe it can offer benefits which principally revolve around bonding. But I believe in choice first and foremost.


4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?

No children and unlikely to have any. But my wife breastfeeeding wouldn't bother me in the slightest assuming one arrived in 9 months time.

5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?

This isn't a debate on feeding other peoples children or breastfeeding older children, its about a mother feeding her baby and all your answers would be appreciated, thanks.

Its a natural method of feeding required for infants. 'right' doesnt come into it. it is required.

2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?

depends where we are, that question isnt specific enough, are we trapped in a lift after 3 hours? is the mother sat on my couch? are we in a restaurant? cannot answer.

3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?

what? no i dont believe in breast feeding and i dont believe in breasts. Jesus!

4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?

why is this question prefixed with 'men'? do womens opinions not count in terms of their views upon their friends/sisters/mothers/partners breastfeeding?

5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?

bit of a hypothetical really, how could any none mother know for sure?

This isn't a debate on feeding other peoples children or breastfeeding older children, its about a mother feeding her baby and all your answers would be appreciated, thanks.

pardon my ignorance, but those questions just dont cut it for me. i cant be sure if you have asked in a manner so as to ilicit the responses you want, or if someone else has prompted you to ask certain questions and you have worded them yourself.
like i said, pardon my ignorance.
 
its just research for my work, i'd prefer an open ended response about peoples feelings towards it but i didn't think i'd get many responses so i preceeded to ask closed(ish) ended questions.
 
1) Its natural, so yes

2) I think it should be done in a private place and not in public.

3) Yes. Like i answered the first question, its natural.

4) Would not have a problem with it.

5) Not applicable!
 
Just to be annoyingly pedantic, but just because something is natural doesn't qualify it as "right" or "better". The breastfeeding awareness campaigns use that piece of fallacious reasoning and heap large amounts of pressure on women to conform to their way of thinking.

What I don't get is the unneccessary pressure women get for breastfeeding in public. It is ridiculous. The baby needs to eat to grow. That means feeding her when she is hungry. It isn't like women flash their tits around, normally the babies are covered up and TBH you could never tell what was going on.

There is plenty of research that shows a mother on a balanced, whole diet breastfeeding is much more beneficial than formula. Plus breastfed babies are less likely to have collic, (and any parent will tell you, the less collic, the better) and stronger immune systems. They are also less likely to be overweight (in begins with bottlefeeding, "Go on, just finish that last little bit off")
 

I like boobies















that's why I'm here..... for my considered responses.

Frankly, the health benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and child are incontrovertible. There is no substitute that conveys the same immunoresponse benefits as the mother's own milk, before you even get into the whole emotional wellbeing and bonding arguments.

I have a strongly held belief that mothers should be encouraged (but certainly not forced) to breastfeed. This is inspite of the fact that my other half was physically unable to breastfeed due to being well and truly phsyiologically knackered by complications of the pregnancy and mother and daughter are both now fine.

If mothers are to be encouraged to breastfeed, then society needs to be far more understanding and accepting.





Did I mention I like boobies?
 
1. Is breastfeeding right? Opinions?

Well it certainly isn't wrong. I don't know much about the health arguments on breast vs bottle but its up to the parents to do what they think is best for the child as long as they have an informed opinion.

2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?

I'd probably be surprised if it happened for the first time and i'd be a bit embarrassed i guess but i'd get over it and stop being so silly. So i'd have no problem with it.

3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?

Of course, milk is produced for the baby, how could anyone not believe in it.

4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?

As long as it was beneficial for the child and the mother was comfortable with it i'd be fine

5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?
 
1. Is breastfeeding right? Opinions?

I personally have no issue at all with it, why wouldn't it be right?

2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?

Possibly a bit awkward in all honestly, as in "dont look, dont look, she'll think your a pervo, dont look" but would have no issue at all.

3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?

What is there not to believe?

4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?

Havent given it any thought to be honest, would cut some costs though and prevent me getting of my arse at night to make bottles so am all for it! :lol:

5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?

.........

Would suggest maybe changing the question titles Hay (y)
 
1. Is breastfeeding right
I think it depends upon where you live and what is fashionable at the time

2. How would you feel if a mother breastfed their baby in your presence?
When I was growing up in the fifties it was not unusual to sit next to a woman breast feeding on a bus and no-one was put out and I would not be now its a natural act ?only sad people could object.although on reflection I can see other women having a problem,


3. Do you believe in breastfeeding?

My Wife wanted to breast feed our daughter but sadly it was not possible and the same thing occurred when my daughter had her child.

4. Men, how do/would you feel about your girlfriend/wife/baby's mother breastfeeding your child? Does/would it please you? Does/would it offend you?

I would be fine about and treating this without any humour why would any one object to their partner feeding this way as there are a lot of advantages.

5. Girls, would you or have you breastfed your child? Why/why not?

.........not applicable
