Have you guys seen this? I think squirting milk is gross and uncalled for, but wtf is wrong with people. I don't understand why nursing in public is even a thing that needs to be discussed. I use a cover and try to be discrete but I don't think you should have to use a cover if you don't want to. Also, "easily distracted husband?!" If your H is distracted by another woman BFing, you have bigger problems. 

I've only have one negative NIP experience so far - I nursed in Ikea a few weeks ago (with a cover, on a couch in the corner). A few minutes later, there was an announcement over the loudspeaker saying "as a reminder to all parents, our family restroom has a chair for those emergency feedings!" Someone must've complained, and they apparently thought I should nurse in the bathroom - 1. Ew and 2. Not fair to all the other customers to monopolize the bathroom for half an hour.

What about you?

I agree, not appropriate to squirt people. Nursing in public already gets a bad rep, don't make it worse by acting like that. But it really isn't okay for the woman to ask her to cover up for the sake of her rude husband.

WTF IKEA. I would write an email to complain for sure.

I laughed, but would NEVER do something like that. NIP is hard enough without dealing with people looking or being rude.

Seriously, I can't believe that they announced on the loudspeaker! I will NEVER nurse in a bathroom if I can help it..

I finally NIP without a cover yesterday at a restaurant. I had a tank top and loose top on, so I was able to keep covered, but I couldn't even concentrate I was so nervous! I don't think it should be that way for mothers..

Hmm maybe I should. I guess I can't prove that they're correlated, but I've been to ikea a lot before and after that, and never heard it before.

The one time I was able to squirt milk with ds1, I was so excited I ran over to dh and squirted him. It was hilarious.

No to squirting a stranger, double no to the idiots complaining about feeding babies.

The way I read the article, it was the complainer who said the woman "squirted her boobs." I'm doubting it even happened. My guess is the woman nursing was stunned, looked up quickly and baby unlatched. Though I still laughed at the thought of her just standing up and letting the milk fly.
