Have you ever breastfed? It is not particularly distracting unless you are disconcerted by onlookers or if the baby is easily distracted by noise which is not generally the case in a moving car because the sound of the road lulls the baby to sleep. A crying baby is distracting. Children in cars are distracting. Cell phones are distracting. Unwrapping a piece of gum is distracting. Eating M&Ms is distracting. Smoking is distracting. Drinking a squirt-bottle of water is distracting. Etc.

The woman was stupid.

Have you ever breastfed?

[Looking down at my flat chest and (finally!) shrinking beer gut]...Uh, no?

The point is that the act takes your full attention from the road. And yes, using your analogy, we're all just as guilty when we go to the drive-thru at McDonald's or Starbucks.

Speak for yourself;-) Breastfeeding for the eh-um, larger endowed women is not such an easy feat and can not be done easily at any mall bench even. I guess because of it, I got used to nursing privately and taking the time to do it. I just can't see how someone taking a drive accross a couple of states can't stop for 20 or 30 minutes and feed their child. Give you a chance to get a drink, read, rest for a little bit. I wonder if this lady peed in some kind of container on the interstate too--I mean after all you wouldn't want to stop for such a thing would you?

After reading the hubby's words, I am with Howlin, something is fishy and if it's what i think, shame on them for using their child for their little experiment in loopholes!
