I agree with you. I adopted all my kids, so I never had the breast feeding issue. But when we were planning a church remodeling, the church council men gave me blank stares when I suggested we at least make enough room in the ladies room for a chair. I couldn't help but notice the ladies were asking permission to use the pastor's office (which was the only private place), or sitting on the toilets, to breastfeed. This has to be a pretty tough lifestyle, considering how often babies need to be fed.

Most ladies manage to feed discretely in public by draping a cloth over the exposed breast. It's not a big deal.

My wife did so with our son..discretely in public, I mean. It sounds like this council woman is letting it all hang out though..again no pun intended. That could be a distraction when your doing civic business..not that I'm against such distractions or anything..

It's fortunate that my church has a Mother's Lounge. A nice seperate room with a couch and comfy chairs. My favorite stores are places that partition off an area off the bathroom for nursing mommies.
At first I was uncomfortable about nursing in public. I was just sure I would hear comments. I have gotten more comfortable, though. Even while grocery shopping I will hold my baby under a blanket and most of the time people don't notice. I have seen other women smile when they see little feet sticking out from under the blanket.
