but well...me thinks this is another one of those agree to disagree issues where both sides can bash their heads against the wall with absolutely no effect on the others stance.
Agreed. No side in this debate can win. Personally, I would not feel comfortable breastfeeding in public, I would seek a private place. However, I am not offended by other women doing so if that's what they choose. There's no law against it so if it bothers you to see it just don't look again.
I was at a baby shower years ago where the mom had to feed her son and asked the hostess of the party if there was a room she could use. The hostess showed her to the den. Some women at the party were offended that she left the livingroom to feed her son saying "well, it's just us girls here!" and "we all have them!". I could understand and relate to the mom's desire for privacy. Not all of us are comfortable, for whatever reason, to be exposed.
