if she was breast feeding and someone else noticed enough to care, she was doing it wrong.

Hmmm. Thinking about this one. Could you elaborate. It seems like right and wrong would be defined as whether the baby was getting a good flow of milk, not by the score she got from the spectators.

Well, nursing moms get pretty good at having the right clothes and covers with them so that most could nurse in plain view without anyone noticing. If they are being discreet.

That said.... we are the only mammal that would find nursing to be sexually explicit or inappropriate... one of the little neuroses of Western culture.

A mother wears a blouse that can be unbuttoned discreetly under a baby blanket thrown over her shoulder. Then the baby can nurse without being seen.

Of course, there are always a few people who find this distasteful, even if they are not directly viewing the action. Bottle fed babies, methinks.

It seems common courtesy if you're breastfeeding is to have a blanket covering the baby and chest. The story doesn't explain whether she was letting it all hang out or not, but if she was, I don't blame the customer for being uncomfortable.

Otherwise, what is a mother supposed to do? Feed the baby in the filthy restroom? I think not!!

The baby can get an excellent flow of milk as well as air to breathe and Mom can be discreet. Did it with all 3 of mine. No one even knew they were nursing.

I would try to find a quiet corner, but sometimes it was just not possible. Nursing in public does not have to be a boob show.
