Is this a wrong thing? I've seen many women breast freed in public and they are very careful about it. It does not offend me. It is very natural and isn't that what they are for?

we all eat in public, why can't a baby?!

not wrong at all, but if you whip it out in public, be prepared for people to look.

so here is a sub-debate.... if you are breastfeeding in public, do you want people to avert their eyes at all costs?

small story - i was with my significant other at a doc's office, as I survey the room, as i do quite constantly, i notice the girl in front of me popping one out and letting her baby at it. She looked up as I was continuing my surveying sweep, and happened to be looking right at me (still?) as i swept back, and she damn near jumped down my throat. Now I'll be the first to admit that I love breasts, and i dont mind taking a gander at one if a baby is getting some lunch, but in this case, I was not, mostly cuz I didnt want the one sitting next to me catching me taking a glance.... lol..... at any rate, I replied back to her something to the effect of, "If you dont want me to look, then dont whip it out in front of me!" even though, looking directly at her was not my intention at that point in time.

I agree with you PhL0aTeR. If they want to do it in public be prepared for staring.
At my work, a women did this right in front of me. Heck, I looked but she was only a few feet away.
I don't think they should do this in public but I guess if you gotta do it you gotta do it but don't get us the onlookers cases.

Don't have a problem with women breast feeding in public, but they can be discreet about it. My sister and my sisters-in-law all breast fed, and it never seemed to be any big drama for them to throw a light blanket or diaper across their front when they were with other folks while feeding the babes.
