Thank goodness. Someone with sense. If a mother discretely (and I say discretely) breast feeds her baby in public it should offend NO ONE. If it does you have issues you might need to see someone about. Too bad that everyone's idea of breasts are tied into us turning them from a child feeding body appendage into a sex object - That is REALLY the problem, isn't it?

"...breast...child feeding body appendage into a sex object-..."

I think that we women have to understand that men do not see breasts as "child feeding body appendages". Breasts ARE sex objects to them. I think it is perfectly normal for most men to feel uncomfortable when a woman breast feeds in front of them. I'm not saying that breast feeding in public is necessarily wrong, but we should not discount that fact that most men are uncomfortable about it. I chose not to do it in public and had no problem finding a "private" place to feed my babies. Other women may feel otherwise and that's OK too.
