McDonald's apologises after group of mothers stage sit-in over breast-feeding ban

McBad choice.

Don't mess with a group of moms... They can be like rabid bears. They'll kick so much ass.

Free the boobs!

Nice, this is a great story. Women should be able to breast feed whenever and where ever they need to. I think we are super prudish in America, and especially something like this which is really a beautiful thing shouldn't have so much weird controversy around it.

i don't think this is right. I think it has verry little to do with people seeing breasts, and more with a sanitary issue. No shoes no shirt isn't there for the hell of it, at some point it was deemed unsanitary. It may be considered natural to breast feed, but perhaps you could do it outside. I doubt any normal resturaunt would allow you to breast feed at your table either.

Mums 1 0 McDonalds

Yes, SilenceNoMore, Breastfeeding is waaaaayyy too insanitary for the welfare of the public. We must protect the people from hazardous, germ infested babies especially in places where overly processed greasy food of the lowest quality is handled by countless number of people before it is eaten with unwashed hands out of a paper bag.

I say this calls for a no shoes, no shirt, and no hungry babies policy!

I can understand not breast feeding at a swanky restaurant, why you would have a baby there is beyond me, but at some place like a McDonald's? Seriously, some people need to get over their nipplephobia.

They probably thought that they were losing business to little tykes.
Next item on the Menu, baby formula.

So milk will now be served from the tap at Micky D's?

as much as the idea of a razor toothed toddler feeding from my breast makes me squeamish, i'm going to breastfeed my children. it's safe, healthy and... natural. the rest of the world should just fuck off!

Fancy place or McDonalds ... are you going to tell a mother to stop feeding her flesh and blood. Ha. Good Luck. I am a Mother, and I know how special it is to give that gift to your child. You give them your immune system.... women are amazing creatures that can do many many things... including breast feed. I would stare so deep into your soul and give you the most evil glare if you ever came btw me and my baby. Her baby... her choice.

eating at a McD's while pregnant is child abuse . the mothers are right , but it's wrong to be there in the first place .

A breast-feeding sit-in? What a nightmare! Of course, I think women should have the right to breast-feed their babies in public, but there should be some common-sensical rules of conduct. Just as I think it is off-putting to have men walk around half-naked in a restaurant, I think mothers should try to cover up as much as possible when feeding their children.

Why bother breast feeding when you are consuming garbage like McDonalds?

When will people learn to separate sex from body parts. TITS DO NOT JUST SERVE AS SEX TOYS!!! Women who are pregnant lactate for a reason... before there was this instant formula shit there were breasts and that is all you had and if want to keep your child alive and healthy that is what you gave them. I applaud these women for standing their ground and doing what is only pure and natural.

why would a mother concerned about health be at a mcdonalds? It's a good thing and all, but McDonalds? Really?

Hurrah for Mum Power!! Breast feeding is the most natural and healthy thing in the world. To anyone one who doesn't like to see a woman breast feeding - look the other way, or change your narrowed perceptions. It's McDonald's that should cover up the crap they serve as food.

i think i see a new milkshake coming out for maccy d's.but honestly fairplay to the mums get down with your bad self's.

Taking your babies to McDonald's? I'd hate to think what that kind of food would do to a child's development.

Hey, more power to the breast-feeders...I hope this sort of passion and willingness to make a change in society and the communities we work and live in is as intense and action-driven...
I am cool with starting with sit-ins...

Some people have the dumbest reactions to breastfeeding!! Knowing my rights and not caring about what others thought made me come in contact with some of the most ignorant people! What brought this society to believe that feeding my child the way I was intended to is wrong in any type of way? Most of the time its painful and uncomfortable so mothers should receive more support to keep it up instead of snickers and weird looks making them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

I wish i had a part in this!!! i would hold it out...proud!!!!! ready to defend my childs feeding rights.

I would hate to think someone would tell a mother their starving children cannot eat in a restaurant.

I'm just guessing but i would have to say that their favorite would have to be breastfest. OK lets set this one straight. if you'r child is starving you obviously aren't that great of a parent! second i'm pretty sure that formula is 10x more nutritious then breast milk produced by the super sized number four you just ate! I understand that it is in women's rights to breastfeed their child. i have no problem with that. I myself am a father and fully understand the importance of breastfeeding. This is an INTIMATE connection with your child. Down to its own definition of intimate: associated in close personal relations and closely personal. It is definately something that should be done in private. Everyone has actions that are done in privacy and shouldn't be done after walking out in public. The sick thing about it is that some guy was probably getting all hot and excited in the corner booth over the exhange! Even a bowel movement is something natural and common to all. I'm sure the last thing you want to see is me relieving myself across the room discretely in a pair of depends as you get a mouthful of big mac with extra sause!!! Lets show a little consideration america!!! maybe that's just your thing though? i dont know? who knows maybe the baby was concived on taco tuesday down the street in the del taco drive-thru.

FYI Azucena why dont you just take your brilant knowledge and go make some more post in marijuana articles!!!! "Legalize it!" i find it hard to believe that you could have found time or even your breast to breastfeed with all your comments on marijuana! i do though have no problem believing that you were someones special lady for the night at one of snoop dogg's local concerts in rural Missouri. then hopped in some guys 1996 astrovan, smoked a dubbie while listening to sir cypress hill's new hit "doctor green thumb" and 9 months later had a love child.
