I’ve never heard of that! Good to know

I live in rural Japan and will occasionally nurse my baby in public (for example, at a park in a shaded area with few others around), but primarily I try to locate nursing rooms or family toilets to nurse in. Where we live, these options do exist but it’s nowhere near as prominent as in the bigger cities. Otherwise, if I need to nurse baby on the go, I sit with him in the back of our minivan and do it there! People don’t really mind if you feed while using a cover here, but my baby refuses covers because he’s never actually needed to have one on in his life, so inevitably the breast will be exposed. If we’re somewhere crowded, like a restaurant, I’ll just find a corner booth facing away from other customers to nurse there, and staff are almost always happy to oblige me and don’t mind that I do that. As an aside, many of the women I know here use formula to feed their babies, so between the low birth rate and the fact that there are quite a few formula fed infants, that may have been part of why you didn’t see many moms nursing in public.

These comments are why I don't want to have children in the US. So many judgemental Americans. I will gladly breastfeed on the go in Spain and not feel any shame, as I have seen many women do.❤

Bro I am 12 and haven’t been on 102 flights 😮😮😂😂

Asians culture often believes heavily in social aspects of health. One being that you shouldn't look at other women when they're breastfeeding. They are superstitious (?) in that if someone casts the evil eye at them while breastfeeding, your child may no longer want to breastfeed.

It seems like Air France doesn’t approve anything. Are there any exceptions?

Just don’t take a toddler on a plane

When you have such well done, clean places to breastfeed it would be impolite and frsnkly weird to just ignore all of that to breastfeed in public. In my country we rarely have such places and public breastfeeding isn't normalised either. Idk what society expects mums to do? Nurse in a bathroom?

I’m actually shocked cause I’m American and I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone nursing in public. At least not obviously and definitely not uncovered.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Here in Mexico it is very common to see mothers nurse in public, specially native women, and honestly for many of us feels just natural, after all it's a mother thing, not sexual at all. But government and conservative people have seen this as scandalous and now are banning nursing in public, much more without a cover. Honestly for me it's ridiculous, i mean something as natural as that shouldn't be taboo. I think lately instead of taking out the taboos y'all are making even more. I've seen my cousins in law breastfeeding no cover right there in front of the whole family and friends, and nobody said anything. Different cultures but respect and tolerance!!!!

How did u take hand sanitizer on the plane? I thought they don’t allow liquids

Unpopular opinion; breastfeeding in public is weird and attention seeking behavior.

You brought a pack n play. OK. Thanks

Americans are not family oriented enough to think of things like this. It will never happen in that country. Not the greatest country after all 😂

Well there they being disruptive or not? 😅 because I have 2 very different opinions depending on that question

If ur rules r dumb than im not respecting the culture. U shouldnt habe to repesct anything if the rule is stupid.

In a country where they are hyper vigilant about not wanting people to feel uncomfortable, I'm not surprised. Standing on the left side of escalators, no being on the phone on public transportation. I was even in a hotel where they asked people not to talk while in an elevator with other people in it with you.

If your going to breastfeed in public, please don’t make us watch, that’s creepy, please always use a cover

What a beautiful baby!

Why would you want to show a boob to the whole world though? Many mom rather have these nursing rooms in public rather than just popping one out

Growing up, the first lady I saw use a cover said she does it because otherwise, the baby gets distracted by the environment, and the cover helped ensure the focus is just on eating. I then learnt that using a cover was a common thing abroad and assumed that was the main reason.

Well it's definitely inconvenient but I think it's better this way. Nobody(besides creeps) wants to see a child sucking on their mother's teets. You could argue and say that it's normal, however, many things are normal. For example, peeing or shittinf. Holding it in is dangerous for your health, but we still don't do that in public. As long as there are accommodations for moms, I think it's better to feed the baby in privacy.

“blah blah blah” go eat in a bathroom then talk

America is acceptable of nursing in public? What a joke! America is more backward than most developing countries.

Great reviews! Thanks!

Omg anyone heard abt the giant fgteev case?

Americans still think it’s weird to nurse in public. Maybe we should adopt the same idea for those rooms. Whether you like it or not people think that it is weird and it is inappropriate

Cap.

I would've have loved this in the US my youngest hated being covered my whole chest had to be out and I was too busty to be discreet. He was also nosey and a distracted eater so I'd have to sit in my car or find a fitting room while out shopping 😅

I will never understand why Americans have something to say about safe spaces for women

In japan you cant be naked meaning you have to be covered at all times or you go to jail so if you breastfeed in public you would go to jail men cant even walk around shirtless they have these places and rules for reasons

In Japan, I did see a couple mom’s nurse in public, but the nurse under her cover not like a blanket but like a nursing cover and it’s true they kind of didn’t do it like sitting at the table, but they would possibly like Nurse on the train you know where you can stand up and have your stroller available to you and they were kind of just like you know Cover themselves and knew what they were doing so of course look away and I looked around to see if anyone would be looking at her and I never saw that happen another time. I did see it at a park but again she had that cover on it could be just very very, very rare to do it in public, but also I do think there is, a thing about giving yourself privacy, which would be then you know using a cover the mothers face wasn’t covered just the babies and And. They were all too to nursing mothers but I do agree. I think nursing could just be more accepted point blank. And I I will say that, one of my biggest pet the restroom nursing room is different. A restroom is a pet peeve because I wouldn’t need a restroom so I wouldn’t expect my baby to eat eat in the restroom. That’s my two cents.

Maybe I just don’t notice but I don’t think ever seen anyone nursing in public & I’ve lived in the Midwest & Southern states my whole life.

Im from the Caribbean and moms nutse without cover all the time. They are some who cover as well and they nurse anywhere.

Lady you need to respect yourself and your daughter by giving yourself and her some privacy. Way too many perverts out there. Sadly even done under a cover excites the perverts.

But why would you nurse in public without a cover? Just have your breast out in the open? There is no issue with nursing in public. Just add a blanket over, and it solves the distracted baby aspect as well.

What she means is- as an american woman who feels entitled to whip her boobs out at will, having self control and consideration for those around her was a new and frustrating experience. Poor thing, being able to travel internationally with her children while the majority of us struggle to buy groceries.

Higher carbon footprint than Taylor swift

Your old

Japan and America is overly sexualizing women for the littlest things.

Just hate the fact that breasts are sexualized in the first place-

I can breastfeed with no cover and without my breast being seen. It’s not hard. We make too much of this.

I think it's actually like that, but you can't assume that based on 10 days in a country. Like, I know that in my country it's completely fine to breastfeed in public, but It's been years since the last time I noticed a mom feeding her child, maybe it's just that I don't go out in places where the moms go, but I don't see many babies when I'm out.

I don’t want to have my boobies out with my child latched on in front of people. ITS WEIRD. hate me if u want, but this is so entitled American thing to do. respect others and have a cover or find a private place (ur car,etc) . so many do it for attention online and want likes . mommy channels are so weird lol.

Pretty sure it’s frown upon in the states too tf . Not that it should be anywhere

I did ! In my 3rd trimester the feet were the worst!

I did ! In my 3rd trimester the feet were the worst!
