A women breast feeding in MK on a Bench in Public.
I had to double take on that one.
Whilst waiting in line for BTM i stumbled forward into the family infront of us. Trying not to fall down i grabbed out and pulled the poor lady in front of me;s elasticated skirt down to her knees. Very embarrasing for her and me and i apologised profusely. Red faced we completed our journey to the ride and went off with the kids laughing at their silly mum. We proceeded round to another ride and my backless shoe slipped causing me to fall forwards again. As i flung out my arm i found myself falling and instinct made me clutch the nearest thing. It was the same woman, in the same skirt which once again ended up at her knees!!! Im sure from the look she gave she thought id partaken of too much alcohol!!! To this day my boys still mention it!!! Bet she wears trousers now and talks of the loony english woman lol!!
:sohappy::sohappy::sohappy:I never took my kids to WDW while babies but I do breast feed pretty much everywhere I go, including restaurants or anywhere we happen to be. I'm also a proud BFing mommy (but I'm sure you figured that out from my previous posts already! LOL)!I'm a very proud mom who will be breastfeeding my child during our trip to WDW in sept. So please don't shoot me dirty looks i will be doing the most natural thing in the world keeping my child healthy and safe just as nature intended. And for the record i don't flash them about i very discreet .if only a few more people felt the same.

I don't get into breastfeeding debates (neither side will convince the other, it's beyond the scope of a Disney board), however, it's only fair to point out that just like it's your right to breastfeed anywhere you wish, it's also his right to be grossed out about it and give you a dirty look.

OK that would bother me too and I breastfeed! LOLNot to keep the OT stuff going but for the "Proud Brestfeeders group" i don't think the problem most people have with breastfeeding is where but how.
I don't have a problem when blankets are used to discretely cover the breast but I also saw a breastfeeding incident i wish i never witnessed...a woman was sitting barebreasted in front of the castle yelling at her husband who was getting the infant out of the stroller...she was making such a scene and kept ordering her husband around while she was breastfeeding...didn't have a blankie and kept popping the baby off, exposing her breast again to the crowd.
It didn't seem very "personal" sorry...just can't think of another word for it and certainly not a heartwarming mother child experience.
I'm sure she doesn't know there's a picture of her in my friends scrapbook with her hanging out for the Fantasyland title page.
I also believe that done discreetly, most people would not even know you were breastfeeding and that's how I think it should be...I don't want a repeat performance of fantasyland, that's for sure
That's so true and that's what bugs me the most I think. You see more skin on a beach than you do when (most) women breast feed in public yet the same people (in general) who love it on a beach hate it if a baby is attached.True. I just find it funny that some of the same people that might find a breast erotic in one context will find the same breast disdainful in the context of their design!

My mother told me that she used to breast feed my little brother on the Haunted Masion while my sister and I were in the buggy in front of her. This way she could do it privately and I would be able to ride.
Believe me when i say there will be NO need to react this way when i feed my child you would probably think he was asleep on my lap...

Here is a "did I just see that..." moment from my 10 yr old neice that she wanted me to share!
She is telling the story as I type it,
Well, 2yrs ago on a trip with my Mom, Dad and sister we were waiting to have lunch at the Crystal Palace and I saw a little boy putting his head inbetween the fence (the black rod iron one) infront of the restaurant. He was really little so his head didn't get stuck and the only person who was watching him was another little boy, his older brother, around my age. (He would have been 8 or so) Instead of telling the little boy to stop doing that he started to put his head inbetween the fence and his head got stuck and I mean really stuck! He started screaming and pulling backward and his head wouldn't come out. His Mom and Dad came running over and tried to get his head out, then all these people who were near them came running over, then people who work in Disney (castmembers) came running over and everyone was trying their best to help him and he just screamed "my head, my head, my head!" over and over! The other little boy was crying and so was the boys' Mom and finally they popped his head out and he seemed O.K. Everyone clapped and was happy. I don't think he will do that again!
