Do You Like This Story?

We’re still not really sure why Demi Moore went to rehab, but the good news is now she’s out. “Sources” have told E News that she’s gone on vacation and is in no rush to head back to Hollywood. Jezebel’s reporting that she’s jetted away to the Turks and Caicos. (Which we think is in the Caribbean..)

Beyonce breastfeeds in public

First on today’s agenda. Beyonce took her daughter, Blue Ivy, out for her first public outing – lunch in NYC. While at lunch, Beyonce reportedly breastfed 8-week-old during the lunch, or so say eye witnesses, and that’s what everyone’s talking about. You go girl.

What do you think?

    Unfortunetly due to the extremely low rates of breastfeeding any celebrity story on breastfeeding can only be a positive thing. Breastfeeding is not meant to cause offense to anyone it is simply a mother nourishing her child as nature intended. It amazes me that people could find this act so repulsive as to put rules on breastfeeding mothers.

    “the breast feed debate”

    I don’t think a woman should be ridiculed for feeding her child in public if it’s absolutely necessary (and it remains discreet ie, that is a blanket is used) but one should not be applauded for it. I find the title on the tweet leading to this really annoying, like she should be congratulated for getting a private part of her body out in public.

      What? ‘if it’s absolutely necessary’??? Why should it be discreet? It’s not a private part it’s a breast. I breastfeed when and wherever I need to. Every mother should be congratulated for caring for and nurturing her child. I dont think Beyonce feeding in public is newsworthy, what else is she supposed to do?!

        It’s very offensive. Especially in a restaurant etc. I’m less offended if I see it in a children’s park or McDonald’s. I appreciate women that do it discreetly. Im just saying that it shouldn’t be publisised, or publicaly congratulated.

          Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.

          How do you find breast feeding offensive? It is one of the most natural things in the world for a mother to feed her baby. It is a natural reflex for the baby and a natural function of the post-pregnant body. It is an amazing bonding and nourishing experience that should be celebrated and encouraged. Good on Beyonce for breast feeding in public. She is giving her child a great start. I am certainly not saying bottle feeding isn’t ok, but breast feeding should not be viewed as “offensive”.

      Ah, the good old “hide under a discreet blanket”. That would be great but I just can’t seem to do it. I’ve tried with pretty wraps that end up in my coffee and smothering my bubba while the person sitting next to me has to keep putting it into place as it slips off.

      Eventually I worked out that I’m too unco and will just have to hope that people who are offended won’t look. I’m embarrassed enough as it is.

    I feel a bit cheated when you tweet ‘beyonce breast feeds in public’ then the link is just to some US news report that includes no new footage. Please don’t write misleading tweets just to get site traffic.

      Why do you need to actually SEE a photo/video of her breastfeeding?
