You sound like a good mom, Motherbear. Part of the problem in the discussion concerning breastfeeding-while-discreet is where this is taking place. Was it you who wrote about "feeding" in church? In a pew, one can be very discreet. But in a public place.. like a "food court" or mall? Very few nursing moms can carry off the "discreet" part very well, if at all. Are we talking about nursing-under-blanket while at a large family function? You see, I think not being specific is what has contributed to major misunderstandings in this thread.
