What are everyones thoughts about breast feeding in public? It seems to be a big controversy these days- How does it make you feel to see someone doing this? Do you yourself breastfeed your child in public? Tell me your opinions on this matter... thanks in advance

There is nothing wrong with it. It is natural and I 'm sure most prefer it to a crying baby.

I have seen this done and I guess it is up to the woman that does it but I sure wouldnt! I think it is embarassing for the poeple around the woman that does. Thats what breat pumps are for to have a bottle ready if you are in public

What is so embarassing about it? If people are embarassed, that's their problem.

Why? What exactly is "disgusting" about a natural part of life? Why is a woman feeding her child "disgusting"?

This is something that is very natural and way to controversial. You have to feed in public sometimes, unless you are a hermit. But that is what receiving blankets are. If people really object then they should insure that there are nice comfortable places for a Mom to nurse a baby and that does not include disgusting restrooms. Maybe some nice couches,some quiet music, a changing table and a play area if Mom has other kids.
