maybe the baby was smothered by cloths and blankets that were deployed to maintain “privacy” and to keep flight attendents from complaining about the mother breastfeeding “out in the open”.
We had a thread a month or so ago about a woman who discretely fed her baby, but didn’t throw a blanket over her, while on the airplane, and a stewardess forced her to stop feeding.
A lot of people here said the woman was wrong, and should put the baby under a blanket so “they wouldn’t be offended” by seeing a woman’s breast.
THis might be the reason NOT to do that.
Yes, that could be. Using a shawl with breathing holes would be OK, but maybe she used a tight blanket.
What a sick society we have, where there is plentiful pornography and sex all over the place, but feeding a baby in public is not tolerated.
I once got into a scholarly discussion of why in the middle ages it was thought proper to portray the Virgin Mary breast feeding the Infant Jesus in religious paintings. But then something happened around the time of the Reformation, and that sort of portrayal has never since been seen as a normal convention in religious art, either Protestant or Catholic.
