"But God forbid you feed the kid in public. That might OFFEND someone."
Yep, it is offensive. Take it to the bathroom or stay at home.
Even with a blanket over the shoulder?
I agree - open breast feeding where the woman just flops out her teet and the baby goes to town is a bit too much for me. I'm prudish enough to be uncomfortable when a woman breast feeds with everything covered. Nursing is a wonderful thing, but should be enjoyed privately.
I agree. Unless you're a refugee fleeing a warzone, it's not likely that you couldn't have done a little planning and nursed somewhere in relative privacy BEFORE you trotted off to the mall or out for lunch. Some people just like making a spectacle of themselves.
Offensive? LOL How so? Why would you be offended? Seeing a woman feed her child scares you?
