Way to go. I see more tits in a high school and on 7-11 newpaper stands than in breastfeeding. The only reason people see perversion is because of the sensorship passed down. My sister-in-law breastfeeds infront of her kids and as a result they dont gawk or think badly when they see a woman breastfeeding, they just say, "look at the baby", as it should be. Congrats for feeding your kid as is the responsible thing to do.

Breast feeding is natural and has been performed in public for thousands of years, and also millions with other mammals. The reason for milk in the breast is for the baby. Maybe the reason why people think it's so repulsive is because they have been brain washed to think that way. It's natural and should be done more often. Get over it.

@lany101 Hey, guess what, humans are MAMMALS! We're just "civilized' animals (although we're not always very civilized. Your children missed out on getting the best food available for them because of your ignorance. And BTW, it's been proven that breastfed children have higher IQs, less allergies, and are sick less often so I'd say NO they aren't fine without it!

@Jessss2008 straw that broke the camels back. women are already dealing with a deluge of hormones related to pregnancy. some are border-line to fullblown post partam depression. just let them feed their babies without coping crap for it. jeez.

@Jessss2008

women should NEVER be told to cover up...plus have you ever tried to cover a baby while feeding them...Yeah for most kids its NOT going to happen!

I personally don't care if people breast feed in front of me.I have no objection to seeing boobies..seen one pair, seen em all.However, out of RESPECT to others, I think it would be appropiate to keep as modest as possible when breastfeeding in public.I think its rude to just whip your tit out in front of people no matter what the purpose.I've seen plenty of ladies breastfeeding without exposing anything and not covering up their babies.

Only in this country: you just mind your own business, you know? Just go back to your porn magazine, for the love of God.

ThumbsUp! to the courageous mother. The whole issue is so incredible. If their concerns had been honest then the staff could easily have appropriated a comfy place in their office for her. But their attitude was an insult rather than giving the apprpritate honor to caring mothership.
