I just don't get why it's so important to some of these mothers that their breasts are SEEN. Who are they trying to impress? Isn't it supposed to be about giving nourishment?
I don't honestly think breast milk is more nutritious after the booby gets fresh air.......
I think any mother should be able to nurse anywhere she wants too.
But why does it all have to hang out on display?
The fact is breasts ARE sexual and BF moms know that..... it's not just the men who think so.
I wonder how many breast-feeding mothers act all "offended" that their breasts are looked at as sexual things....and yet have a closet full of low cut tops, clingy tops, push-up bras to enhance their cleavage etc.???? Don't try and tell me that's done for baby's sake!!!
I would like to say that I am also uncomfortable around women that wear very revealing tops. I have been around some that show ALOT of cleavage, even when dropping off kids or being around children. This make me feel uncomfortable and I am sure I am not the only one.
When you bend over I would just assume not see ANY cracks or cleavage.
Just saying.
I probably should feel guilty about nursing my son in my daughters kindergarten class. That was probably bad. The teacher really needed the help though and I thought I found a perfect hiding spot until she caught me. Me with deer caught in the headlights look and her with her eyes popping out. Sorry teacher!
Meeko - do you want to eat with a blanket on your head?
I'm pretty sure if she'd eaten with a blanket on her head on a regular basis, it wouldn't bother her a bit. It'd be what was normal to her.
It's not natural to eat with a fork or spoon, but most of us do it for social reasons. If I'd never seen a fork, and you said "how would you like to eat with THIS?" I'd probably think you were a little kookoo. ::

I disagree. I've known devote Muslims who eat covered and they have told me what a pain it is. Even though its what they know, they'd rather eat uncovered. Also, babies are supposed to be looking around, looking at moms face, ect while nursing. Not kept like a damn parrot under a sheet. Again, just because a mom doesn't cover up does not mean she is exposed. My child covers my breast with his body, and I show far less nursing than most do with cleavage shirts on.
A few of my favorite memes, I'll post the links so as to not offend....
I dislike how it's called "enlightening". I've seen public breastfeeding, I've seen people be uncomfortable, but I've never seen or heard anybody say anything rude about it.
But, those moms who can tell the older gentleman is uncomfortable will make a point of being in front of him as much as possible to "enlighten" him.
Not everybody is going to feel enlightened even if you follow them around or have a "nurse in".
I was reading on Mothering.com when a mom was complaining that a Missouri Cracker Barrel restaurant manager had just thrown her online friend out of the restaurant for breast feeding at her table. She was demanding a nurse in at the restaurant.......but, at that same time, MY friend happened to be at a Missouri cracker barrel restaurant watching a woman throw a HUGE scene because her two year old had been screaming non stop for 30 minutes, so the mom tried nursing her. The child didn't want to nurse (she wanted a waffle) She threw that triangle puzzle across the room and it hit an elderly gentleman at the next table. The manager asked them to leave and come back when the child had stopped screaming...the mom created such a scene that police were called to escort her off the property. So, the woman had everybody in the US go on this cracker barrel facebook page and blow it up with complaints. I copied and pasted the whole post from my friend, and most of the people deleted their comments on facebook, nobody ever showed up to her "nurse in".
