Huh? You gotta be kidding. Did you read the stuff above?

oh i know women cover themselves but i am still not ok with it if they are in such a public place as a restaurant or store. Its like cussing in public, its against society's norms and it bothers people so we don't do it, just like this will bother somebody. If i do something people think is annoying or bothersome i should get asked not to do it, same with breast-feeding.

So it's more appropriate to wear a shirt that leaves nothing to the imagination than it is to feed a crying infant? I beg to differ. I think these are pretty twisted times we live in if that is indeed true.

Sorry, it's a fact of life, and I believe women are fine doing it whereever they find it neccesary. If people are that bothered by it than separate nursing facilities should be included in every public building.

I am against revealing clothing as well.

For some reason I don't consider this "public nudity" the way I would consider girls at Mardi Gras flashing the floats to get beads. It's not meant to be provocative or sexual--it's simply a mother feeding her child in the way nature intended. How is it "annoying" or "bothersome"?

My mom didn't breast feed me as a baby and i am jealous.

ROFLMAO. Mom didn't breast feed me either. Everytime I'd bring home a failing grade, I'd blame it on her.

How do you know if you were breast fed? I don't want to ask my mom. I'd feel weird.

I remember asking my mom about it after those researchers did a study and concluded that babies who were breastfed grew up to be "smarter" than the babies were weren't.

My mom couldn't breast feed me. She said she got sick too often and she was allergic to everything...so the doctors told her not to.

The way clothing is made for breast feeding mothers keeps exposure to the minimum.

I have no problem with public breast feeding. Now, if I saw a woman just leaving herself exposed in order to do so, it may be a different story. I've been in a few different places and seen breast feeding mothers, but I have yet to see a mother completely exposing herself. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the short time that I breast fed my own child, I probably would have been clueless.

Send them to the restroom? How many of you would want to have your meals in a public restroom? I'm guessing no one would volunteer. And, like someone else said, mothers absolutely have to multi-task. If she has 3 other children, all of them with her, should she have to drag them all to the restroom, too? After all, it isn't anyone else's responsibility to watch them while she's feeding the baby.

Mothers, especially those with newborns, have so little sleep one might wonder how those women can stand on their own. Add in household duties, a job outside the home, and every spare second devoted to the needs of the children. Hot meals? Forget it. Everyone else eats before mothers do. This woman was probably just thankful for her $.99 burito in the few minutes she had to sit and eat.

For those who think its a good idea to breastfeed in a public restroom just imagine someone crouching next to your table and relieving themselves while you are trying to enjoy a meal. And peep shows? I don't think I've ever seen a breastfeeding woman take off her top ,shake her breasts around for all to see before settling down to nurse her child. And this cannot be compared to diaper changing in public! 2 totally different things.
I can't imagine how someone would be grossed out or offended by a woman breastfeeding in public. This is what they were made for and I'll be damned if anyone challenges the right for me to feed my daughter where and when she needs it. I was completely uneducated on this subject until I became pregnant and started doing my research. Anyone who's interested should tale a look at:

I think so.

If her Taco Bell is anything like the one where I live, there is only one restroom for each gender, and they are marked as such. What are all the other women supposed to do while she is breastfeeding?

I breastfed both of my boys for a couple of years (and, yes, they are both very smart!). Granted, my breasts were where their food came from, but they were also part of me. No way would I have flashed the general public! I always covered up and can guarantee that no one was allowed a peek. I don't remember having to breastfeed them too often in public, however. I guess I just timed my outings pretty good.

I tried doing a search about this on Google, but all I got was a lot of really disturbing porn.

I'm pretty sure that whether you have an "innie' or an "outie" has NOTHING to do with whether or not you were breastfed. It only has to do with how you healed after your umbilical cord was cut.

(for the record, I wasn't breastfed (I was actually allergic to my mother's milk) and I have an innie. I do not plan to breastfeed my child, if I am blessed with one, either.)
