Agreed. Thank you for speaking up for the modesty and discretion that our culture so severely lacks!

From one Emily to another: I TOTALLY agree with you! We can be all for breastfeeding, do the best thing in the world to nourish our babies, and be discreet about it at the same time. My breasts belong to me, my husband and my baby–no one else needs to see my breasts, and I don’t want to see other women’s breasts, either! It is an intimate bond between me and my baby–I don’t need to share with others.

I do not use a cover- I refuse to. But when I do breastfeed, his head and my shirt basically covers everything. So anyone that is offended or “sees” something, is staring way to hard. They have every right to turn their head, walk away, our put a blanket over THEIR head!

Have you tried to keep a blanket ofver a breastfeeding baby? Not easy…and since there is no point because it is my right to nourish my child in public, I don’t bother with it. Plus hot would it be to sit with a blanket over you in the summer! Yuck!

Um, I live in Florida. Thank heavens you can’t force me to put a blanket over my poor baby’s head.

I’ve said the same thing before. I don’t understand it either, America needs to grow up and get over it. No Breastfeeding mother is trying to hit on your man or arouse anyone, they just want to share the most natural gift God or evolution( which ever way you see it) gave them to their baby. And I don’t understand how hospitals are gunna push Breastfeeding and lock away formula when you still have small minded people in America. More education is what women need. It makes me sad when females are the ones the most offended by seeing a boob, heaven forbid!

Honestly, to me this sounds more like a cry for revenge than empowering women. Just because you may be asked to be a little discret or modest doesnt mean a day of public exposure is warranted. I am an exclusive pumper, and sometimes I get dirty looks when I go to the restroom to pump; and we all KNOW ppl wouldnt appreciate me pumping at a restuarant dinner table… But you dont see me crying about it. Personally, seeing someone breastfeeding on the bench, outside, at the mall makes me uncomfortable. It’s awkward. I guess i just dont understand what’s so horrible about being discret or modest? I dont support breastfeeding, i support breastMILK. It’s the milk that matters, not the method.

I see the United States as the only country so behind on breats feeding. I have been to Mexico, Europe, and other Latin American countries, and I ‘ve seen moms breast feeding everywhere. It’s so normal over there. Even my Asian friends tell me the same thing. I can’t believe it’s 2012 and breast feeding is still being promoted as a new discovery, and that mom’s have to get together a certain day so we can make public breast feeding be accepted as a normal practice. That’s crazy! I don’t understand our culture. Celebrities wear dresses that show a lot. We see cleavage – boobs on TV all the time. Most movies show nudity. Oh and don’t forget Spring Break or ball games where is ok to flash. Also there is nothing wrong with wearing a really small swimsuit and surgical breats implants are like so cool. But OMG, breast feeding in public is such a crime or viewed as so wrong, nasty, and gross. Really? give me a break. What is wrong with some American people… Sigh -__-
