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?

I’ve never seen a woman nursing in public without a cover. I’m sure it’s happened but I am also sure it’s pretty rare.

Apparently the coffee shop picked on the wrong pair of breasts to offend.. In quick fashion a “nurse-in” was threatened upon the shop and it would have been deluged by nursing mothers.

Smart move to apologize and accommodate.

That would be one of my inlaws - anytime, any place, no cover at all, get over it.

I don’t know where you get that “older men don’t like to see women nursing without cover”.

My grandfather relates that when he was a kid, you saw women nursing in public all the time and no one thought anything of it.

I’ve travelled in many countries and seen women nursing in public in all kinds of settings, no one notices at all. It’s ubiquitous.

It’s our hypersexualized and politicized culture that makes people see breastfeeding in any other light than simply feeding a baby (or a militant act).

What makes you think the women aren't covered? Nursing mothers feed their kids all the time around here and I've never seen any of them uncovered.

I’m in the same boat, but I don’t know any mom that goes out in public without a cover handy!

I always use a cover, but even I was once approached by an older woman who told me it was disqusting I would bf in a public place. I guess just knowing what was going on under the hooter hider just bothers some people!
