Hi CM, My Nephew and his wife were in town a few months ago with my great nephew Noah. We were at Legal Seafood for lunch and the baby wanted his. Mommy without skipping a beat from her shrimp cocktail through a wrap around her, put the baby under the wrap and while we had lunch Noah did too. What's the problem. She fed him several times when we were out and I don't think anyone was the wiser. Do you mean by being able to breast feed by wiping your boobs out? I think there are other ways without having to go into the rest room.

I do not understand why anyone has problems with a woman feeding her child, first if the people who have issue was not up in her face they would have no idea what she is doing. Secondly, in the beginning of time there was no Similac or Infamil or any other formulas for that matter so what did the women do, breatfeed or suckling as it was called. Get over it people, this is natural and we as people have become such prudes that the things of old are not good enough as we must all be trendy now, well I will not and for all you breastfeeding moms out there, get your milk on and feed your babies however you choose do not let what others think steer you away from anything. Remember, you can please some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time, GOD tried it and look what happened.

mallyns im sorry you lost your mother to breast cancer, but that doesnt meant breasts are death. women who breastfeed give nourishment to their babies. if anything women give more life to their babies by breastfeeding. i think if a baby is hungry, they should be able to eat no matter where they are. a mother shouldnt have to pump just to make people that arent comfortable more comfortable. i agree with covering up during breastfeeding but don't knock it all together.

I can't help but comment on this one. I am a mother of 2 amazing boys. I nursed both IN PUBLIC and this comment is for both crunchymuchy and mallyns. I lost my mom to breast cancer, too, just this year, and it's not anyones fault so why the hell are you so angry at a nursing mom? Breast is best!! If breast is death, cut yours OFF!!!!! So to finish my love of boobs, I will have to tell a story. My sister and I had sons very close together, like weeks apart and I nursed, she didn't. One afternoon we went out to eat and both boys were hungry. She 'whipped' out her bottle and I covered myself and my son, and discretely fed my son. She asked me to stop feeding him and go to the bathroom and do it. My response was the same to her as it was to anyone else with breastfeeding issues, take your kid into a dirty bathroom and feed him, better yet, bring your plate, too. Needless to say, she wouldn't go out to eat with me until I weined my son. A mother feeding her child has to have a bottle burp cloth etc, and breastfeeding moms have 'gear', too, like a blanket to cover the child and breast. The reality is this, breastfeeding is beautiful and natural. I'm sorry for people who see it otherwise. Lastly, Mallyns, can you tell me what 'normal people' do?
