Does it bother you when a woman breastfeeds her child in a restaurant?

I ask this because a male friend of mine seems daunted by the idea of a woman breastfeeding her child in a restaurant, even if done discreetly. I think it has something to do with the emphasis that he places on woman's breasts, thinking of them as something purely fetishistic. Would you mind if a woman were to feed her child in such a way one table away?

it doesn't bother me.the child might be hungry with all the food smell around. he needs lunch also.i'd admire her bravery the way some people are about that though.

I admire her bravery, as well. I'm such a shy person, I don't think I could do it, but things change, I would imagine, once you are an actual mother. Right now, I'm an armchair expert.

doesn't bother me at all. A good mother will feed her baby when he/she is hungry, so what's the problem? She's not nursing to cause a scene, she's simply nourishing her child.

Exactly. It's a natural act and shouldn't be made into anything more than that.
