Poll: How Do You Feel About Breastfeeding On Aeroplanes?

Kate Tuttle

From Galley Gossip, a column on the Gadling travel blog, comes a poll about breastfeeding on aeroplanes. So far almost nobody has weighed in — I voted for "I do it all the time and don't care what anyone thinks" — so it's high time for some Strollerderby readers to share, if not their brazen, indiscreet breasts, then their opinions.

Maybe then we can get past the weirdness the author, a flight attendant, describes when she had to escort a flying mother into an aeroplane bathroom with her baby and toddler, because she was worried about breastfeeding in front of her seatmates. When I think of the times I've flown next to people doing absolutely foul things — from nose-picking to ear-cleaning to nail-clipping — I'm flummoxed than anyone would put nursing into a category requiring the cramped privacy of an airplane lav. So, Babble readers, tell us — and Galley Gossip — how you feel about it.
