Babies are always endlessly hungry, it is a fact that everyone who is alive knows. One of a mother’s many jobs is to provide food for their babies through bottle feeding or breastfeeding, and many women choose breastfeeding. It should in fact be acceptable in public.

  Eating is a necessity for life, without eating, humans wouldn’t be alive. Toddlers, teenagers, adults and seniors are all allowed to eat in public. However one age group is excluded from that: infants. Babies do get hungry and simply need milk. Instead of having to tote around bottles, a woman should just have the right to feed her baby wherever she is.

  An argument against breastfeeding in public is that it qualifies as public nudity. Each state has their own regulations for or against breastfeeding. It should not count as public nudity because it is not like a woman is streaking, or showing her breasts on purpose. She is feeding a little human being; it is unconditional.

  Also, in case anyone did not notice, women don’t have to be stuck in the house to take care of children anymore. Being a nursing mother doesn’t require a woman to stay inside all of the time. This isn’t the 1800s, and just because a mother is nursing in public does not make her a sinner because she is showing skin. The baby has to eat.

   Another argument against breastfeeding in public is that a woman can bring the milk in bottles or go to a bathroom. Yes, however, the pain of handling a bag all day hurts, a lot. Women have built in bottles on their chest, so why not take advantage of them. Secondly, no one with a child, or other children want to sit in a bathroom and nurse, a park is better scenery, no matter what anyone thinks.

  Altogether, women should be allowed to breastfeed in public. It is a natural process that women have to do for their babies. It should not be considered public nudity, and no woman needs to be told to cover up. Feeding a baby is something that has to be done, and no one has the right to take this freedom away from mothers.
