I voted. The sad part is, that now it has yes 64.95 % (328) and no 35.05 % (177) WTH is wrong with these people? Can we start regulating bottlefeeding in public too? Because seeing a small baby being given a bottle bithers me a whole lot more than seeing a little nipple now and then.

Not good results. Do this many people think nursing should be regulated?

[fljen]

perhaps some people are confused that a yes answer might mean that there is a regulation to protect bf in public?

That was my thought. Sometimes the questions are worded funny and can be confusing :

sadly the yesses are up over 75%....note to self. NEVER move to arizona!

[marisa724]

I agree with fljen -- I really think that this question is confusing. I bet a lot of people aren't sure what they're answering yes to.

"Should BFing in public be regulated?" -- maybe they're thinking that it means it should be *protected*?

(Just trying to give humanity the benefit of the doubt. )

I have never been more embarrassed to be from AZ! :


I am also holding out hope that it is just a confusion thing...I actually emailed the paper and said I found it [e-mail] - please do the same if you too found it confusing - I would hate for those results to be made public. EVery other poll I have seen done recently has shown that approx. 75% support NIP - 20% against and 5% don't know...

[philomom]
