Breastfeeding in public

And as far as taking the kid in the dressing room or whatever (which I think most people would have done)...if she had other kids, she was probably trying to keep an eye on them. 3 small children + 1 adult in a dressing room makes for some cramped quarters.

I breastfeed in public. I have no qualms about it. I am discreet about it (the one thing I'm modest about-lol). My child's health and well being are more important to me than someone going "Ew, boobies".

ETA: Breastfeeding newborns often nurse every 2-3 hours. It's almost impossible to do anything without have to feed at least once while you're out and about.

Being discreet about it is one thing... NOT being discreet is another thing. And there was another adult with them.

Plus, why would you bring like a one week old baby out TO THE MALL? This baby was smaller than most newborns I've seen. Wouldn't that be dirty?

The dressing rooms in there are HUGE. She could easily have gone into one, did the business, and continued shopping. I don't care about health and well being... I don't wana see someone's milky boobie while I'm trying to shop.
