Japanerin gerät in den sozialen Medien in Aufruhr, weil sie in einem Saizeriya-Restaurant unter einer „Pflegeverdeckung“ stillt. Saizeriya hat diese Praxis verboten

Wait, this is insane. Or is there more to the story?

My wife was breastfeeding in public with a cape as well, just like the story. We’d do it at restaurants after letting the servers know, and they were always 100% okay with it. Although if we were in a busy restaurant we’d find a nursing bathroom to do it in.

Edit : The story in the article isn’t corroborated and also not confirmed by Saizeria. Whole articles seems to go off of one anonymous post on Threads. I would not fully believe it just yet.

JFC, do these people not realise that underneath their clothes, everyone is naked? And isn’t Saizeriya supposed to be a family restaurant? I didn’t realise that it was so damn fancy….

🙄

Come on, people. Do you want or not the next generations to pay your pensions?

This is a little disappointing from a restaurant that sell a 2 litre bottle of wine for a tenner.

Nothing increases the birth rate like publicly shaming women who dare feed their child!

They’re so worried about fewer people having children if they allow (*gasp!*) gay marriage, but it never crosses anyone’s mind how stuff like this just makes more women see children as not worth it.

They were upset the kid was having a cheaper, more palatable, more hygienically prepared meal.

**Translation of the article. Keep in mind that it is an article from a weekly tabloid magazine, and such publications tend to use sensational wording to attract readers.**

„It’s Really Disgusting‘: Parenting Controversy Erupts Over Breastfeeding with a Nursing Cover at a Café! Saizeriya Responds After Being Dragged Into the Debate“

In mid-June, a post on X by a woman believed to be the mother of a young child sparked widespread debate online.

A nursing cover is an essential item for many parents, allowing mothers to breastfeed in public while covering themselves from view. According to the woman’s post, she had been using one out of consideration for those around her, but was unexpectedly warned by a store employee, leaving her confused.

She went on to express her frustration:“When breastfeeding in a store or public facility, should I be asking for permission first…? That also feels like making a big deal out of it and would be awkward. It might even come across as if I’m asking for special treatment.“

Her candid post ignited a fierce online debate over whether breastfeeding under a nursing cover in public is appropriate.

Many people rushed to defend the mother, arguing:“At this rate, there will be even fewer places where mothers and babies feel welcome.““Breastfeeding is literally how babies eat.““Isn’t the whole point of a nursing cover to allow mothers to breastfeed anywhere? The employee was the one being unreasonable.“

These comments criticized what they saw as society’s growing intolerance.

Meanwhile, there are still people who disagree:“Honestly, it’s disgusting. If you have a baby that needs breastfeeding, you shouldn’t be out for long periods.““I don’t want to see someone breastfeeding while I’m eating. Breastfeeding openly in public is inappropriate.“

Some users took a more moderate stance, saying:“We should find a solution that allows everyone to be comfortable.“

However, the debate only continued to intensify.

# The Controversy Spreads to Saizeriya

The argument soon took an unexpected turn.

On Threads, an unverified claim began circulating that a customer had been stopped from breastfeeding under a nursing cover inside the restaurant chain Saizeriya. (The original post has since been deleted.)

Believing the rumor, some users contacted Saizeriya directly and later posted on social media:“I was told that breastfeeding under a nursing cover at the table isn’t allowed. What a narrow-minded society… No wonder fewer people are having babies.“

That, in turn, sparked another debate, with some responding:“Making inquiries like that only makes life harder for parents with children.“

Seeking clarification, Shukan Josei PRIME contacted Saizeriya to ask about the company’s actual policy and whether it had received such inquiries.

The company replied:“We decline to comment on individual cases.“

# A Broader Issue

Public debates over parenting issues frequently flare up online, and many people have mixed feelings about them.

One unmarried woman watching the controversy wrote:“As someone who hopes to have children someday, every time I see one of these arguments, I lose confidence that I could actually raise a child.“

Making the real challenges and differing opinions surrounding parenting more visible is important. However, it is equally unfortunate when people become exhausted by anonymous, inflammatory comments or by unverified social media posts that spread rapidly online.

are they intentionally trying to drive their country into extinction???

lol. i live in a muslim country and freeding babies under a breastcover is kinda normal. then what about the sexy ass women promoting „clubs“ etc that people usually encounter in most cities in japan?Lived there for 5 years and that was everyday sight during travel.

This doesn’t even seem to be able to be corroborated at all. But why are you going out to restaurants while breast feeding anyways? Cover or not. In a park whatever but in a restaurant why? Lol

Mothers do what they gotta do. I don’t care and will still enjoy my food at Saizeriya
