This topis is one that definitily hits close to home! My mom is a gynecologist and a registered lactation consultant - and everyone on her side of the family (7 brothers and sisters) is in the medical field and has breast fed every single one of their children - so it's something i'm used to. i grew up seeing cousins breast fed at family functions and so on so to me it's not uncomfortable for out of place. babies who were breastfed are proven to be more intelligent later in life and generally healthier. of course i think 2 year olds being breats fed is ridiculous, and breast feeding at christmas eve mass is also pushing the limit. but if it can be done discretely and quickly, i don't see a problem with women doing it in public - just cover yourself with a blanket!
