Thank you! That was exactly the phrase my tired brain was looking for.
I see society increasingly becoming more child friendly, whether I like it or not. There are playgrounds in the mall, pregnant and family parking that is closer than the handicapped spots,
even children's menus appearing at my favorite 4 star jacket and tie required restaurant! Parents and even other adults laugh it off when kids do something wrong, and instead of appologizing, they just say that kids will be kids. I even have had people bring their children to bbq and keg nights, the last of which the parents knew there would be a stripper performing. They assumed that the kids could stay in a bedroom and play video games. Maybe if some parents weren't so pushy to take their children everywhere and weren't as permissive, it wouldn't seem like so many people dislike children. I'm very iffy on children anyways, they seem like 18 years of work and money without a very big payoff. However, I might be guilty of selection bias myself, as I don't like kids.
However, I don't see anything wrong with this cover, as the intended audience is parents. In real life, I am all for breastfeeding, but not in public. It doesn't take but a modicum of modesty for me to never notice though.
P.S. The first few weeks when a baby needs to eat every few hours, shouldn't the mother and baby be home resting/recooperating? I didn't think a newborn's immune system was fully functioning yet, and thus, shouldn't be exposed to many strangers?
