It is a matter of sexualizing feeding a baby, absolutely. Gladly submitted to sk*rt and StumbleUpon. Keep spreading the word of quiet activism.

I completely agree with everything you say and think it is so important that mothers start supporting one another for their choices in hopes that everyone is doing what is best for their children. And about the courtesy thing, I also totally agree. I would like to ask people who seem to be so offended by the whole breastfeeding thing, how often they have actually had to experience this discomfort. I doubt it has been very often, certainly not as often as the pain and embarrassment a nursing mother must endure every time she dares to discreetly breastfeed in an unsupportive, public environment.

First of all, thank you for finding me because how beautiful is your blog?! Second of all, I agree with this post entirely, as well. I think courtesy is the key, which extends far beyond breastfeeding in public. Looking forward to poking around your blog. Nice to meet you!

Anytime, anywhere. But as for covering up, I don't really do it. It's too hot! I just hike up my shirt a little and people really can't tell. I suppose it helps that my boobs are nice and long and rest in my lap. Nobody has ever said anything to me about nursing in public or covering up - sure, I've gotten some looks - but if they aren't offended enough to say something, I'm not going to get my feathers ruffled over it. Besides, maybe I had a booger hanging or a bright gray hair shining in the sun, or maybe that's just how those people look, who knows? Do you know how many buttcracks I've seen? Ewwww. Talk about offensive! Breastfeeding isn't any worse than bending over in low pants. But that's my opinion, and isn't that what this whole controversy is about? Opinion. I'm also not opposed to formula, juice, crackers, and cheerios. I'm kinda flexible that way. I sure do love a fat baby though. Feed 'em! Fatten 'em up! Look at 'em smile with those chubby wubby cheekies! I’m a breast-feeder. Anytime, anywhere. But as for covering up, I don’t really do it. It’s too hot!

I always nurse in public, but I really don't want anyone seeing my breasts or tummy, so I keep it covered. Not with a blanket, but with my shirt. I'm not going to cover up like I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think it's right to PURPOSEFULLY make others uncomfortable to forward a cause I believe in. If they are uncomfortable seeing me nurse my baby and I'm being discreet, then that's their issue. My baby's gotta eat and I'm not sitting in a filthy toilet to nurse him. But, you are right, there are lots of ways and lots of places to nurse in public and not be a spectacle. Great post!
