Breast Feeding in Public:

I think that it is acceptable if they cover the child and breast with a blanket. I have seen women just popping both breasts out to feed, which I don't agree with. I think that the American culture has really made it a big deal, though -- it seems like we are the one country that makes such a big deal out of it.
Sometimes you can't plan ahead. My sister has 3 young ones, and I learned that fast. We as adults are capable of knowing when we're hungry, and doing something about it -- babies aren't. And I'd rather a woman cover herself and feed her child than to hear a screaming baby. Ideally, yes, a secluded spot would be the best place, however -- most public bathrooms I see are nasty -- I don't want to be in there, much less feeding my baby in there. I'd probably use a dressing room if I were shopping or something, but otherwise, as long as I'm being discreet, I don't think its anyone's business.

My thoughts exactly!
