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

Your feelings of conflict would most likely disappear if there weren't so many slovenly women (notice I'm not using the complimentary term "Ladies") who care not a whit about the sensitivities of others.  If the concepts of grace and decorum were universally adopted as a matter of course, this would never have arisen as an issue of law.

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

Although the article states that the law specifies it be done 'discreetly', we can rest assured that there will always be those who insist on testing the limits of the law and will create public nuisances of themselves as a result.  The already overworked police of Great Britain will find themselves needing to determine whether vaguely expressed "discretion": standards are being complied with, and this vagueness will encourage activists to push for a complete revocation of all allusions to 'discretion' in the law.

the last of my five is now 6 months and so all this will be strictly as an observer

I really love everything to do with pregnancy and birth....I will miss that being a part of my life as it has been for almost 20 years now.

I find myself very empathetic and appreciatve of pregnant women and moms with babies...

I believe some of the best my wife ever looked was at 5-7 months along and then nursing later...it’s not just a cliche about that glow and all that...they it may just be fullness and all that extra blood exaggerating lips and giving that healthy Raphaelite aura...it’s also about how God creates life thru us and I love it..

not in an exploitative way, it was just so encouraging maybe....life coming along and then brand new being nurtured....it’s times like that and folks like me know why I am here

which btw....means I better wake and feed number 5 unless now unless I want him waking at 4-5 hongree!...I’m the night owl around here this last time outta the gate

You, sir, are a FReeper after my own heart.

Breast-feeding is, I understand from my sister and mommy friends, a wonderful and beautiful thing. But all my friends with kids know how to feed said kids without showing me what they usually reserve for their husbands and the mammogram guy.
