Hear, hear!
After removing the mountain of cultural "embellishments" that have somehow accumulated over the ages, that's what they're, well - meant for.
It's really no more complicated than that, and if someone has a problem with a mother nursing her infant under any circumstances, that's just THEIR problem, and not the mother and baby's.
Geez, this thing has been blown all out of proportion or perspective!
Thank you MarineDad!
As a nursing mom I've nursed 6 children. I had one that nursed well past her second birthday. And YES I nursed in public. Yes we had the occasional accidental uncovering. Does that make me an exebitionist(sp?)? I think not. I used the equipment God gave me to nurture my children the way God intended. Who are these people to say when or where I can feed my hungry child? Should I have stayed in seclusion the entire time my babies were nursing so as not to have a situation where I had to feed my child in public? And as to schedules nursing babies do not do well on a forced schedule. When nursing you feed the baby when the baby is hungry period. Ever hear of the law of supply and demand? OK I need to stop now.

Some people just have these "cultural" hangups...All I can say.."What a bunch of boobs!"
I think they're the same people who convinced John Ashcroft to cover the statue of Justice because one of her bronze breasts were exposed.
