Beyonce Caught Breastfeeding Baby Blue Ivy Out in Public

March 2, 2012 by The Master Chief

Beyonce is slowly becoming an advocate for breastfeeding following reports from US Weekly that the superstar mom was spotted nursing her newborn daughter during a recent outing with Jay-Z.

Last Saturday, Beyonce, Jay-Z and their then 7-week-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter made their first “official” public appearance as a family when paparazzi snapped a few photos of them exiting Sant Ambroeus restaurant in New York City following a lunch date.

A source revealed that at one point during the family luncheon, Beyonce actually breastfed Baby Blue Ivy right at the table!

Photographers caught up with the family as they left the restaurant, and Beyonce held her daughter close to her in a Baby Bjorn, a scarf wrapped tightly around it to keep the little one’s face from being seen.

The very next day, a solo Beyonce — with her big bodyguard Julius close by, of course — was spotted holding Baby Blue close to her chest in an animal print baby carrier. And now that we know what we know, we can probably assume that she was breastfeeding then too.

Reports of Beyonce breastfeeding her daughter out in public comes amid a “breast is best” movement started by a large group of mothers who feel like women are discriminated against for nursing their babies in public.

“By bringing breastfeeding into the mainstream, Beyonce can help break down barriers,” one doctor tells ABC News.

    Good for her, if her Blue Ivy is hungry when she is out it is natural and right to feed her. Way to go girl!

      It’s also “Natural” to urinate in public or even have a bowel movement but I don’t hear any “Movement” to support doing that?

      Do YOU only eat at home or eat in the bathroom stall?  Of course not, so why should feeding a baby be a shameful and hidden away thing??

    • CTMotownGirl

      Could you possibly sound any dumber?  Let me answer that……….NO

  • Tae

    GO BEY! I never thought of the day when you’d be taking care of a child. I can’t be mad at you for breast-feeding, GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO! :)

  • izeyahs_mommy

    Way to go Beyonce! I’m so happy that BREASTFEEDING is not considered such a dirty word!!!!! My feeling being a nursing mother myself is we eat in public why can’t they! Once you start covering your head to eat then we will cover theirs…. Unfortunatley I have to NIP with a cover or she won’t nurse :( This makes me sad because my husband is just dying for someone to say something. lol

  • Granger1001

    Way to go! As long as she was covered up, why do people care?  It’s not like she just whipped it out for all to see!  Let the baby eat!

  • CTMotownGirl

    So much for all of those ignorant conspiracy theorists who SWORE that she had a surrogate! Good for Beyonce. Breastfeeding is natural, the most healthy and the cheapest way to feed a baby. All of the recent cases of formula being pulled because of things that have been found in it should make a lot more sistas breast feed their babies.

      You people are so ignorant! Don’t you know that this is all a hoax just like the pregnancy. Of course she has to pull a stunt to make it look like she was pregnant afterall. The same way she faked the pregnancy, she is faking the breastfeeding. Did you not read the article? The baby’s face was hidden. Beyonce and J-Z have enough money to fake a device underneath her clothes to make it appear that she is breastfeeding when the entire time it was another device designed like a breast that had milk in it. Until I see the breast with the baby breastfeeding, I will not believe it. You fell for the hoax yet again!!! Do you like to be lied to?

    • CTMotownGirl

      Do you really think that she should have been out in public exposing her breast so that you can have proof that she had the baby? Of course the baby’s head was hidden you big dummy. I’m sure she loses no sleep over dumb people like you who are worried that she didn’t really give birth to her own baby.

    • pre-med

      @ctmotowngirl if you do your research a women can actually take pills to enhance her breast and develop breast milk, and no she does not HAVE TO BE PREGNANT EITHER. MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING A SURROGATE DOES THIS THROUGHOUT THE MONTHS THAT THEY ARE PREGNANT, SO BY THE TIME THE BABY IS HERE THEY CAN BREASTFEED THE BABY…..THANK PRE-MED STUDENT

    • CTMotownGirl

      Pre-med, FIRST of all, I just talked to my mother A PEDIATRICIAN FOR OVER 50 YEARS, STILL PRACTICING, thank you very much, and she said that while yes, it is possible through hormones and months of stimulation, for a non pregnant woman to lactate, that is very difficult and still not guaranteed and she believes that for a woman Beyonce’s age, with having one miscarriage (THAT is very common), she would reasonably expect to have a child naturally with no problem. She ALWAYS said she wanted a baby by the time she was 30, she has been married for years and I guess I just don’t understand why we can’t all be HAPPY for her without all of the conspiracy talk. When I was pregnant with my first son, I was 9 months pregnant before people could tell I was pregnant. Beyonce is a tall girl and just because she wasn’t fat and sloppy doesn’t mean she wasn’t pregnant. I just don’t get why people have come up with all of these crazy stories about surrogates, pills and stimulation when she is a young, healthy woman quite capable of having her OWN child naturally! To me, if she was going to have a surrogate, the only person she would have trusted would have been her own sister. 

      So, pre-med, go on and get out of undergrad biology class (throw in a little english while you are at it) and YOU read up on that whole theory before talking about it.

    • pre-med

      @CTMotownGirl:disqus , i don’t need english just to respond to your over a$$ kiss of beyonce’s life…..and your mother said it right it can be done, enough said!!! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ALL OVERLY IN LUV WITH B AND LIKE SHE GOING TO INVITE YOU OVER CAUSE GUESS WHAT “”IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN”"” SO GET OVER HER, SHE IS FAKE AND THAT’S THAT!!!

    I’m sorry but I don’t see where this picture looks like she is breast feeding!! People are always looking for some silly story to print because they know a lot of brainless twits will jump on the garbage!! This looks like she is holding her closely to her chest as she does every time you see them out to avoid any photos being snapped of the baby!! Sometimes it is simple just what it is and nothing more!! Find another story to print!!

      Thank You, I agree!

  • Truthbtold

    Again! Another B.S. Beyonce lie. She did not just get caught out breast feeding. She staged all this B.S. Just so that people would believe that she gave birth. But….if you use a surrogate, if you want to bond with the baby, the hormones, and steroids that are given will cause your body to plump up, produce more hormones, and even allow your breast to produce milk so that you may breast feed if you so desire. It does not mean that you have given birth to a child. I just dispise all of the lies. Why??? What’s the reason??? This is why I can’t get down with the whole Jay-z, and beyonce propaganda. All of the lying about her giving birth, when it’s so obvious that she did not give birth. Then, the most shocking thing was that Jay-Z puts out a story of her having a miscarriage, and all of this just to quiet down the rumors, or even put them to bed for good if possible. Truth is that, even though I admired Jay’s valiant effort to rescue his wife, he actually discredited his own self by getting involved, and co-sighning on to the lie. It would have been better that he removed himself by Keeping quiet. Now, where Jay’s word use to stand, it’s actually being second guessed now. So sad Jay. Sooo sad…..smh.
