Does a nursing baby offend you?

[jsw]

...other people (myself included) would appreciate a certain level of discretion when it comes to appropriateness of time and place to do it.

I think we all agree there... including those who do it.

I haven't seen a lot of militant in-your-face breastfeeders recently.

I can't ****ing believe that this thread is over 9 pages long.

FWIW, my wife breast fed all three of my daughters, and yes sometimes in public. I really don't know how anyone would be offended. She didn't take her bra and shirt off to feed my kids. She discreetly covered a shoulder and breast with a blanket, and then she lifted her shirt to nurse. The baby's head, and the breast are hidden under the blanket. I imagine most women do it this way.

For those who are offended, I really don't know what to say to you.

I agree. And, after re-reading it, I've come to two conclusions:

1. Nothing new has been said for some time.
2. This is upsetting people to the extent that I soon expect unveiled insults to start flying.

So... I'm closing it for at least a day, maybe more, maybe forever, just to ensure that it cools down.
