That's obvious. However, I can't say that I disagree with her stance on nursing in public. It is her right to nurse with or without a cover. You can nurse discreetly without a cover. It isn't Iike she was running around with her boobs hanging out, she had her shirt down just enough to latch baby on and had baby's head covering her. You can hardly see anything. You see more skin when you look at women wearing bikinis at the pool. It's just the idea of baby breast feeding that gets people's panties in a wad, and that's sad.
Oh I don't disagree on her stance on nursing in public either and I nursed discretely without a cover for 15 months.
I just thought that it was wrong to stand at a public desk asking information about classes whilst nursing. When I fed my daughter, she demanded (and deserved I might add) my full attention. I sat, I talked to her, I kissed her little hands, she would stop to look at me and later to smile...it was wonderful. I think Lucy is missing out on a lot by treating nursing as something she can multi-task.
Surely whatever pressing question she had could have waited 10 minutes or Joel could have asked it. Lucy SHOULD have been able to sit somewhere in there and feed her baby, not in the toilet.
<b>The guy standing near Lucy was clearly uncomfortable. He had his head buried so deep in those pamphlets. Breast feeding in public is fine, but not when you're shoving it down someone else's throat, so to speak.</b>
So when people have a problem with interracial or gay couples, they should sit their ass in the cover and be discreet so they don't shove it down someone's throat, right? Because their comfort is more important?
Next time I breastfeed in public, I'll be sure to ask everyone if they're comfortable with it before I feed my crying baby.
