.Why haven't you taken to task the people who compare nursing mothers to cows?

Because: 1.) the talking past each other in re "breastfeeding in public" still continues to NOT BE MADE CLEAR in these "lactation" threads, and 2.) I've myself have seen exhibitionist nursing mothers (usually at anti-America protests; and mostly commonly in San Francisco and Berkeley), as resembling cows, too! However, most nursing mothers I know are discrete, polite, considerate -- and they do not resemble COWS; but rather, loving mothers.

I tend to avoid crowds when ever I can.I can count on the fingers of my hand the number of times I have had to put the baby to the breast in public.I try to be modest in those situations. Only once did a strange woman walk up to me and spew a diatribe about how women should only nurse at home.I'm sure she would have loved to report me to the police.By the way had a blanket over myself and the baby.I hope the protesters, you saw nursing bond with their babies.Love of their children may force them to back away from socialist principals.I don't find their nursing as offensive as the vitriol they spew at our soldiers.

I sometimes MOOOO myself, especially when the baby decides to sleep all night out of the blue :-).
