Coffee shop kicked out a breastfeeding mother who happened to be a moderator on local "mommies" forum. Coffee Shop's quick about-face is commendable.

Bet she went to a coffee shop where there are lots of seniors. Older men don’t like to see women nursing without a cover.

I’d bet dollars to donuts that she did not have a cover over herself and her baby. If she did, I stand corrected. I have no problem with nursing mothers, in fact most times, I don’t even notice.

I do, however, detest militant nursing moms trying to make a point. Why can’t everyone just be considerate?

Wonder if they’ll have a special Free De-caf for D-cups promotion on their Breastfeeding Fridays.

Sometime ago there was a video clip circulating around the internet of some european Candid Camera-type show. An attractive (and lactating) waitress would serve the customers their coffee and ask if they wanted cream. If the customers said "yes" she would open her blouse and *express herself.*

Oh look! Tami makes sense on the FB page

“Tami Jones So let me get this straight, all of you angered by the events would just rather see the coffee shop go out of business? You’d like to add to the unemployment total in Greensboro, maybe add some more foreclosed homes to the list as well? The co-owner asked her to be modest about breastfeeding because it made other guests feel uncomfortable. Maybe instead of attacking this lady for doing her job in customer service, you should direct your anger on the ones she had hear complaints from. Think about it for one second, if you needed to stay in business and 20 people were saying they were going to leave if you didn’t handle 1 person, who would you choose to make happy? Would this have attracted so much attention had the owner stayed silent? Seriously, what would you anti-serenity protesters do in the owner’s position?”

Now that’s good PR damage control. Nip it fast before anger can build much, absolutely no weaseling to escape responsibility, and use a method to rectify the problem that can leave no doubt you’re sincere.

They turned a potential business loser into a way to make more money. Small business on its toes. Gotta love it.

The coffee shop had poor financial results. It was about to go tits-up because it wasn’t staying a-breast of current trends.

For all of you ladies out there. If you don't parade your nipples in public, no one has an issue with breast feeding.

Many natural functions are best done with a large dose of modesty.

Had an woman about 10 years ago in the neighborhood that would sit with a full breast exposed everywhere she went, just in case her 3 year old needed a top off.

I always felt like I should just take a wiz while talking to her, just to see what here response would be.

Coffee shop kicked out a breastfeeding mother

Wonder if she's also a member of the "diaper changing on the coffee shop table" forum.

Many years ago I went to a pizza place called "Everybody's" with some geek friends. We were treated to the sight of a breastfeeding "mommie" who after feeding her get proceeded to change its diaper right on the table. Repulsive.

I have nursed four infants. It is completely possible to nurse modestly without anyone in a coffee shop noticing. ( Maybe another experienced nursing mother may be aware.)

Thankfully, I had a very supportive husband. His philosophy was, “Feed that baby if it’s hungry and **don’t** leave the room just because someone is hypersensitive.”

women who have some sense of manners and self respect have a small light blanket they cover up so nobody sees anything while feeding the baby.

I think those who let it all hang out are just looking for validation and attention. “SEE WHAT I CREATED ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!” (Daddy who?)

Vatican approves breast-feeding pictures of Virgin Mary
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/2185823/Vatican-approves-breast-feeding-pictures-of-Virgin-Mary.html

The Vatican has called for worshippers to be less prudish about seeing the Virgin Mary breast-feeding Jesus.

A vast number of paintings depicting the bare breasts of the Madonna have been “censored by the modern age” because they were too “unseemly”, according to L’Osservatore Romano, the official newspaper of the Holy See.

Lucetta Scaraffia, a church historian, has called for the image of Mary as an human, tender and loving mother to be rehabilitated. She said: “Jesus was a baby like all others. His divinity does not exclude his humanity”.
