Gaah. There’s a mental image I didn’t need, while eating lunch... :)

How selfish do you have to be to begrudge an infant eating?

How illogical do you have to be, to misrepresent my argument with a silly straw-man?

See my comment at #59, especially the last two lines.

Honestly: how is it that people can be so "all or nothing" (i.e. bare breasts to the public while breastfeeding, or else no breastfeeding at all) about this? Do these people think that, since they kiss their child after a bath, they need to drink the bathwater, too, or else throw out the baby with it? When last I checked, there were a few options other than those two extremes...

I’m curious what kind of woman wants people other than her husband looking at her bare chest?? To me, that’s a privilege that has to be earned, so to speak, and out of simple respect for my marriage vows (among other reasons), I’d cover the hell up and be discreet.

Exactly.

This has nothing to do with the Infant. Nice Liberal talking point Straw Man.

It has to do with the so called Mother being Discreet and having some Common Decency and Manners.

Apparently it’s too hard for her to simply cover up.
After all, it’s all about her.

It would be totally inappropriate to bottle feed a baby in a courtroom let alone from the witness stand.

Don’t know who is contesting custody of her children but even taking her baby to court shows a total lack of judgment on her part at a time when she does NOT want her judgment questioned.

For something this important, she couldn’t find a sitter?

And the mother should display the results to everyone?

Did you read the story? The baby doesn’t want to be covered and doesn’t care about decorum. Funny, they are like that.

So then, she pumps a couple of bottles before going to something as consequential as a court hearing. Not hard to figure out unless she is a modestysucks activist with no respect for complete strangers or for authority figures, such as the judge who will be deciding her case. Does she think it's optional whether her other child needs her? Apparently so.

The baby is eight months old. Plenty of time for her to have conditioned the baby to take a bottle, a bottle of breast milk, or - GASP! - a pacifier! so she could actually take responsibility for the products of her lust and testify on behalf of her older child.

Sounds like she secretly wanted to fail so her mother would have to continue taking care of her earlier "oops."

Not that much of a breast is visible when breastfeeding — typically the bottom and the nipple are not, hardly much different than a lot of blouses and shirts no one seems to mind.

Some people are just grossed out by breastfeeding itself.

This has nothing to do with the Infant.

If she was showing her breasts in the courtroom without feeding a baby you could say that. As it stands, she was feeding a baby. The baby did not cooperate with being covered up. To turn that into a conspiracy to bare her breasts is just weird.

Not all babies will take a bottle once they have been breastfed.
