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.
I'm sorry that any woman has ever had an unpleasant experience of any sort while tending to the needs of her child in precisely the way The Good Lord intended.
This whole so-called "controversy" is completely lost on me, I'll confess.
Never in a million years would I have ever imagined that a woman would catch grief for nursing anywhere or anytime her baby "requests" it.
After all, I can confidently say from my own experience with infants that they're not too keen on the concept of "Not now - later."
That just doesn't impress them in a positive manner...
