What is offensive about feeding a baby?
That's what mammals do.

I personally don't give a monkey's whether Mum's idea of discretion is sitting in a corner, staying at home, sitting quietly on a park bench, sitting in the car, having a coffee with friends and turning away from public gaze, covering up with a shawl or bit of cloth, putting a sack on your head, whatever your idea of discretion might be just flipping well get on with it and FEED THAT BABY!
And if any one objects then tough titty!

Re: Breast feeding in public
I agree with the last two posts .I breast fed all of my three children .
I don't see the problem the babys head covers the breast unless you are ginormous and even then the breast is usually covered by a tee shirt or a shirt what is there to see ?

Re: Breast feeding in public
I would also ask the people offended...would you rather have an infant screaming it's little head off while Mommy prepares a bottle or finds an out of sight place to nurse...or baby gets fed and falls asleep, peace out for everyone involved. Really...sexualizing a body part meant to provide nourishment, gimme a break.
