@aletheabliss1981 It was near 30 degs on the day of the nurse in, we were hot and sweaty and if we added a "wrap" to the equation it would have been even hotter. My baby would pull off a wrap anyway, she would think I was playing a game and it would be a distraction. If you don't want to look at a breastfeeding mother's breast, LOOK AWAY. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

The point here is that she was discriminated against for breast feeding her baby, not whether you or anyone else finds it socially unacceptable not to cover up while doing it or whether you would or wouldn't do it yourself.

BTW i'm a mother of 2 under 3yrs before anyone starts telling me i don't know what i'm talking about. And i'm sorry, but it really is a bit icky feeding your baby in an op shop. I love shopping in them but I wouldn't want to eat my lunch in there, would you??

Ok, the point of breast feeding is to nourish your baby. That being the case I see no problem with using a wrap or shawl to cover yourself while doing it so as to take the feelings of those around you into consideration, just as you expect them to take your requirement to feed your child into consideration. The wrap does nothing to hinder the feed, you can even wrap so as to conceal the breast but still maintain eye contact. I always find it a bit odd when women refuse to cover up.

It was fantastic to take part in this demonstration. Women are legally allowed to breastfeed anywhere, anytime - but there are some that would have us hide under a blanket or in a toilet to feed our children. Public breastfeeding is important to normalise this vital function, so other women see it and feel ok about breastfeeding, and so children who may grow up never seeing a baby being fed naturally might have the chance to learn something. It is not shameful, dirty, sexual or weird.

It is disgraceful that in this day and age women are still judged, humiliated, shamed, bullied and discriminated against just because they are feeding a hungry child. I hope the people that work there feel ashamed of them selves and have learned their lesson. I doubt it though, ignorance is a hard trait to change in some people.
