Brittany Hinson breastfeeds her 4-month-old son, Kennedy, during a nurse-in in front of the Super Target store Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011, in Webster. Hinson participated in the event in support of breast feeding and in support of a local woman, Michelle Hickman, after she was approached by Target employees for breastfeeding in the store. "It's not like she was walking around topless, " Hinson said. "She was sitting down covered up." The nurse-in was one of more than 100 planned in at least 35 states.


Nursing a child is natural. Breastfeeding a child in public as part of an organized protest is exhibitionism.

I am fed up with obnoxious people who insist that they be allowed to do anything in public. My wife breastfed (in private.) At family functions she would excuse herself and find a private room.

Liberal democrats in Targets? No biggie. They’re singing to the choir there.

Now if they did that at Walmart... that’d be something we could call bold.

Walmart and their shoppers tend to be more conservative

I was once escorted out of Nordstroms for nursing a beer in public.

...after women heard about the case of Michelle Hickman, who says employees made her feel uncomfortable when she fed her son at the store while Christmas shopping last month.

I guess Michelle never heard of a pump.

It’s never the ones you would want to see. Like a supermodel breastfeeding protest....

Americans think this is “freedom.”

They also think freedom is being able to choose between Medicare Part B or D.

I breastfed my daughter, and I would never go out in public to do it. There are some things that need to remain private and this is one of them.

My opinion is that anyone who publicly expresses disgust is hoping for a glimpse.

My wife breastfeeds often in public places and she is discreet about it. She tries to find a more private area but often times a place out of the way with blankets to cover up is about as private as it gets.

I am amazed at the people who proclaim family values and keeping families together and Moms at home, yet they act disgusted when a baby is eating. I am going to start to express disgust every time I see someone stuff 1500 calories in their face at a restaurant. Maybe I should demand that those people be fed a juiced version of a salad served at room temperature.
