Let them schlep kids and gear around a mall/theme park/typical "fun" activity trying to find a discreet, comfy, clean place to nurse while avoiding the omnipresent glares from people who disapprove of WHATEVER you do, whether you carry your poor hungry screaming baby (and gear) out to the car to nurse, give them a bottle, or try to feed them where you are, in what will most likely be an uncomfortable chair with no armrests. Then we can talk about what makes them "uncomfortable." Add to that the constant guilt mothers endure over the decisions they make, the already-difficult task of preparing kids for an outing, and the lack of affordable attractive nursing clothing to help moms be discreet, and it's enough to make any mom just stay home all day. And actually, that's how I spent most of my son's first year. Well, not next time. Next time I'm not going to care one tiny bit what 57% of this family-unfriendly nation thinks -- and yes, it will be me sitting there making them uncomfortable while I blissfully feed my baby in the most healthful way possible. They can go sit in their 105-degree cars or in dirty bathroom stalls until we're done because I'm the one raising the next generation and they're the ones raising hell.

Last week, during the nationwide nurse-in, police in Dallas sent the moms away. Now the moms are coming back. As an aside, bOOb lady, perhaps you would want to contribute to a carnival of breastfeeding bloggers set for next week? Check out www.mamaknowsbreast.com for details.

A 2004 survey published by the American Dietetic Association found less than half (43%) of their 3,719 respondents thought women should have the right to breastfeed in public places. Seems more than a few of us are uncomfortable in the presence of milk-producing breasts! What is the majority opinion?

A woman that would think it inapproriate for a mother to breast feed is green. Women do not whoop those things out just to satisfy some carnal feeling they are having, and a gentleman doesn't gawk. I'm sure a mother would prefer to do her feeding in a more private setting, but having been a father and a grandfather, when it's time to feed, the little one is not ot particular where it happens as long as he feeds. This is media hype. Some way for the news to get headlines when the majority of us could care less if a mother breast feeds in public or not. People need to get a life. It’s jealousy I’m tellin’ ya.
