My man coming out of the bathroom yelling "It's milk time!" while that mantle flutters around him like a cape.

He's like a dramatic, breastfeeding Kool-aid Man.

I can get why the awkwardness around breastfeeding in public exists, though it's a completely natural thing for mammals to do. Mother cats and dogs provide milk to their babies for a long time (sometimes too long) and these are mammals a lot of people are quite familiar with.

I get why people find it awkward too, but it's entirely their own problem and they should probably act like this I guess? If it makes you uncomfortable, you could probably just not stare at it or perhaps leave if you have nothing left to do there anyway. You don't bother the mother or complain to the staff at the place about allowing this to occur there like you sometimes hear about.

I would not be angry or disappointed at people walking away from mothers breastfeeding. Sure, it's natural and healthy for the baby and mother and I encourage more women to do it for as long as they want/can. At the same time I understand that people feel a certain type of disgust at the scene of fluids coming out of a person's body. I mean bleeding, blowing your nose and urination is also natural and no one is questioning that. Maybe we're all just programmed to avoid fluids from people we don't trust because we know that diseases or bacteria can be passed along and harm us. And only in the last 200 years, we've been developing medicine to treat it. (Covering with zombie blood from Walking Dead, yeah, I doubt you wouldn't catch the virus through your skin or breathing it in)

I like how she immediatly guessed that he would come out and say: "Okay it's milk time!" But then she thought up a doujin situation and the manga even called her out as "virgin thought process". LOL
The guys were like: "Did you see that babe?" "Oh yeah, she was hot!" Lol

Since this is a decent place to discuss this, I want to share my opinion on public breastfeeding. I'm not really against it, but I'd rather the moms use a nursing cover since being topless even though they're clearly feeding babies is not common publicly where I live. I was looking up indecent exposure laws once for a different reason, and it's not actually illegal if the mother and child are allowed to be in that place.

However, if I were breastfeeding a child, out of deference to others, I would cover up and choose somewhere secluded if possible. Like, I heard a story about a woman breastfeeding, but she didn't really want to do it in front of everyone in public. The place she was at had a couch in the women's bathroom for this purpose, though it was in full view of the women going in and out of stalls. At least one woman hassled her about it, and I don't think that was fair. Sure, other people could see, but that's the best place the mom could go at the time.

And if your baby is old enough to be weaned and eat not only milk and baby food —like they have teeth and can talk—still breastfeeding them is kinda weird. Once my bro, sis, and I grew our teeth, Mom didn't like breastfeeding us anymore, lol.

Ideally, breastfeeding moms could just walk around topless with their babies nursing and no one would care, but the world is not ideal.

Short trauma story: one time when I was a kid, I accidentally saw under a breastfeeding woman's cover and her nipple area was hairy and I vividly remember, 20 years later. It wasn't her fault: I only saw by accident.
