So it is appropriate to feed your child while you are going to the bathroom, sitting on the toilet? Yes, while I don't think it would be my first choice of a place to nurse, it is entirely appropriate to do so. In fact, on a toilet in a stall in a public washroom is traditionally where women were expected to nurse when not at home, and in many places where they still are expected to. I don't see how it could be inappropriate for a woman to chose to do so, but not inappropriate for a woman to have to do so. quote:
If she wasn't breast feeding, but bottle feeding, the same thing likely would have happened. There is an expectation of behavior in court. That would be that the litigants offer their full attention to the judge, which isn't happening if you are breastfeeding. And what of the many other people in the court who are not litigants at that moment? And how does nursing your child prevent your attorney from doing their job properly? And how does nursing in the courtroom interfere with my ability to pay attention more than leaving the room to nurse would? quote:
So if the new mom is somewhere that the general public is not allowed to eat or drink, she should feel fine feeding her child? Yes, of course, the child is unaware of the social conventions that may be in play and its needs are beyond the control of the mother. quote:
Because the breastfeeders are looking for some "equality" that word that always is going to back fire. If she shopping in a store that doesn't allow food or drink, inappropriate and against store policy to feed baby. Got the equality, because you aren't going to eat or drink either. I have never heard anybody ask for "equality" in this context, to do so would be silly. Equality with who? Equality compared to what? Breastfeeding is a unique function unrelated to any other. Also, a business's food and drink policies are in place for sanitary, safety, and/or economic reasons. Breastfeeding does not drop crumbs which can rot, it does not make large spills which can cause people to slip, and it does not prevent the store from selling food to its customers. quote:
Obviously, while waiting to have your case heard in court. Why would this be so? In what manner would you be disturbing the other people in the courtroom? How is it inconsiderate to do it in a courtroom but not elsewhere? What is in a courtroom that will be disrupted by somebody sitting quietly in the back of the room nursing their child that would not be disturbed by that same person getting up, making there way to the aisle and then approaching the bailiff and discussing leaving the room and then knocking to be readmitted and repeating the whole procedure in reverse? quote:
What would say "overly inconveniences" the mother? Reasonable things, like if she had to go up 3 flights of stairs, or if she had to leave the building and go to another building, or if the facility was too small and she had to wait her turn. As a rule of thumb I would say if it were to take her more than 5 or 6 minutes or so to reach it. Based on your various replies and comments on this thread, I honestly don't think you really care about anybody's answers, you have made up your mind on this matter and do not wish to discuss it. So I'm left wondering why you bothered to ask the questions in the first place?
