"PHOENIX -- Dozens of demonstrators who support women breast-feeding in public held up signs outside an east Phoenix Applebee's to protest a recent confrontation at one of the chain's restaurants in Lexington, Ky. "At the end of the day, it's not necessarily about my rights as a breastfeeding mother," said Diane Targovink. "It's about my baby's rights to eat and drink." . . . "I don't have to eat under a blanket and I don't expect my child to have to eat under a blanket," Carter said."

You're not special just because you have unprotected sex and enjoy having infants suck on your nipples. Use a damn blanket!

first, why the fuck do people complain about this?(anal puritans?)
second, why the fuck do you need to protest / rally because of the first fuckwads?

9/10/2007 8:33:46 AM

i like nipples

You can breastfeed without a blanket if you don't get pissed off at me for watching.

9/10/2007 9:02:06 AM

Why in God's name are they protesting outside of a PHOENIX Applebee's when the one that didn't allow breastfeeding was in LEXINGTON?

9/10/2007 9:59:01 AM

who are these people that are complaining about seeing boobs?

There was a 6 page thread in the lounge about this topic over teh summer. The issue isn't breast feeding in public which i have no problem with. The issue is rather or not it is appropriate to do so at the dinner table at a sit down restaurant. People paying $50 on a meal with a date or out with a dinner party do not want to see some fat bitch in the table next to them whip her tits out and let her kid start going to town.

It is something called manners. Disregarding the fact that you shouldn't be taking an infant to a nice sit down restaurant. You would not fart, pick your nose, have a loud conversation about banging your girlfriend, eat a sloppy meal with your hands. I think breast feeding fits into this category. Go in the bathroom or out to the car or better yet not bring yoru baby to the fucking restaurant. I do not want to be eating my $20 steak and have to hear your little brat crying at another table

^^ any guy who bitches about women breastfeeding has unresolved issues with his latent homosexual fantasies.

in otherwords, STFU you whiney cunt. if you dont like it, leave.

9/10/2007 12:06:15 PM

breastfeeding is natural - but so is taking a shit.

9/10/2007 12:07:10 PM

Need I remind anyone that it is Grizzlebee's that we are talking about. They don't even set the table. It's glorified fast food.

They're probably pancakes that you don't want to look at anyway. As far as I'm concerned I really don't care if they want to breastfeed in public, I may check it out but probably not. I do think that they're just attention whores. They're glad they've been banned from doing their stuff in public.

Good point but then again I have a bigger problem with a screaming kid. As long as I can enjoy my food in peace I don't really care.

over 130lbs = not allowed to breastfeed in public
under 130lbs = ok, but you must be over 5'6

I'm not the most couth person on the planet, but breastfeeding your child in public is tactless, mannerless, trashy, and fucking disgusting. Is it that much trouble to do it in the car on the way there? in the bathroom while you wait for your food? jesus I'm glad in my time of working in restaurants I've never seen this.

No one spends $50 at Applebees.

9/11/2007 3:07:37 AM

sure they do

all those Bud Lights start to add up

9/11/2007 9:23:37 AM

There is a certain way to handle it. Breastfeeding your child at the dinner table, no, that's not how you handle it. Some people out there are disturbed by it, including me. I don't want to see some woman that I don't know whip out her boob and have her kid start sucking on it.

Besides the blanket over the boob is good for you child too. Infants like to feel very safe and secure while they are nursing. Wrapping a blanket around them and then over them (over your boob) you're allowing them to feel cozy and safe, which will make the feeding process a lot easier for both.

what about if it's a fit, attractive woman?

and if I'm not supposed to eat with my hands, how am I supposed to eat pretty much any appetizer that is served an any of these sports bar type places? This is Applebees after all, not a high class restaurant.

It's funny how everyone thinks Britney Spears is so trashy partly because of how she behaves with her kids. Yet it is apparently not trashy to ride down the road with the kid in your lap. Thats real safe. And we all know how clean the bathrooms are in places like Applebees.

9/11/2007 12:22:29 PM

Jesus Christ. To all those who think that breastfeeding in a public restroom is a good idea: WTF?

You wouldn't eat in there, why would you expect an infant (with an underdeveloped immune system no less) to eat there.

There's nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public. It's better than hearing an infant scream at the top of its lungs because it's hungry.

9/11/2007 12:38:37 PM

how about we just let mom stay at home until the kid's off the tit. that would solve many a problem.

9/11/2007 12:40:12 PM

i just don't know how babies got fed in years past when people knew certain things were inappropriate in public

9/11/2007 12:42:06 PM

you can tell who has a kid here easily

If you're worried about a infant getting a disease from breatfeeding in the bathroom, you need to do one of two things:

1 - wash the fucking mold off your titty

or

2 - stop having the kid lick up your milk from the floor

you're right, it's probably not a good idea to do it while riding in a car, and even though i think "dirty bathroom" is a bullshit excuse, I can understand not wanting to do it in a restroom. but you're missing the point...FIND ANOTHER WAY. doing it in a restaurant around other diners is disgusting.

9/11/2007 7:25:44 PM

we had countless moms at disney, and there is nothing more awkward than going up to a table with someone blanketless breast feeding. I had a mom actually ask me to take a picture with her like that- "just stand behind me honey, im in the middle of this." Usually the servers were really good with making them keep it wrapped up. I don't understand what the problem is with using a blanket or large napkin.
