Default Breast Feeding

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on women who breast feed in public. I personally think it's a little weird. I think women should make sure they are covered, and not exposed while doing it. What do you think?

I have no problems with that. Hey the baby doesn't know it is
in public when it becomes hungry ;-)

Maybe they should use a towel to cover up but I don't see
anything wrong in feeding in public.

Breastfeeding in public is a no-no for me. I think every mother should be sensitive enough not to expose herself in the presence of strangers. Breastfeeding is good but mothers should either cover themselves up or just go to a breastfeeding station in malls or some place private...

Breasts were made for feeding babies!!!

I was nervous about nursing my first baby in public, I would hide in bathrooms to do it. Would you want to eat your lunch sitting on a toilet in a public restroom? I don't think so!

When I had my second, I was a lot more brave. Babies gotta eat. I wouldn't give a mother the stink-eye for giving her child a *GASP* bottle in public. I have never seen a mother who was nursing in public who just pulled out a boob for everyone to see. Most are fairly discreet about it, but yes its obvious what they are doing!

I actually think its pretty wonderful to see a woman nursing in public because that means she isn't afraid to give her child the best nutrition possible just because somebody might get offended.
