After cell phone pictures of the breastfeeding women are splashed all over the internet, most will be inclined to be a little bit more discrete.

I’m ambivalent....not about breasts....I love them. God bless em...

But ...I am conflicted on breast feeding in public.

I think a bit of cover is better than letting it all hang out for sure..

My wives only breastfed for a month or so and used at least a big burp towel to cover the baby’s head well

then after a month, it was Enfamil Low Iron or Lipilease....it’s easier for night feeding...quicker....babies will suck on the teat leisurely....especially boys....they don’t feed as strongly...

Britain's estimated 5,000 transsexuals will be brought under the umbrella of anti-discrimination laws.

Wow, could we get all of them together for a photo shoot of them breast feeding?

That'd be a classic...

We saw a woman pumping her breast in Disneyworld last week, letting it all hang out. It was disgusting, we had kids there.

I don’t think the female body is dirty, but there is such a thing as propriety. I personally think women that do stuff like that are exhibitionists. They have a sexual screw lose somewhere.

This behavior will last as long as it takes for someone to realize they enjoy watching this sort of thing. When enough women realize the number of perverts out there, this will become a far more discreet behavior. And for all sense of decorum, which does still exist, it should be discreet.

Interestingly enough, many (maybe most) of the states in the U.S. have similar laws. There's an excellent collection of relevant statutes at http://www.lalecheleague.org/Law/LawBills.html.

Apparently, the state of Florida led the charge on this in the United States:

SUMMARY OF ENACTED BREASTFEEDING LEGISLATION

FLORIDA

Florida led the nation by enacting the first comprehensive breastfeeding legislation in the United States. The legislation not only exempted breastfeeding from criminal statutes, but created a new law that stated this important and basic act of nurture must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health. Finally, it provides for a breast-feeding encouragement policy for facilities providing maternity services and newborn infant care.

Fla. Stat. Ann. § 383.015
1993 Fl. ALS 4; 1993 Fla. Laws ch. 4; 1993 Fla. HB 231

The breast feeding of a baby is an important and basic act of nurture which must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health and family values. A mother may breast feed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether or not the nipple of the mother's breast is covered during or incidental to the breast feeding.
