Is public breastfeeding really an issue?
Updated | By East Coast Drive
Why do people seem to have a problem with breastfeeding in public? Do you not eat whenever you're hungry? Should babies then not be fed when in need?
Listen to the discussion below, or read the details under the podcast.
Bongani's friend this past week shared with him how upset he was at the audacity of a passenger on a plane who complained about a woman breastfeeding her infant. A fellow passenger, who was sitting next to the woman, wanted to change his seat, or have her removed from the flight.
"I could not believe that a passenger would cause such a scene over this. I mean, when he's hungry, does he not grab a bit to eat? What's different here? Why should a baby not be fed when they're crying for food? Why should they only be fed indoors away from prying insensitive eyes," says Bongani.
