breastfeeding in public

i heard this debate on radio the other day... and was thinking about it. some people were saying that it's disgusting and others said that it's perfectly fine! well... my take on it is... let's all have social etiquette. i went for a business etiquette class, and the instructor gave a very nice definition of etiquette. etiquette according to her is not making the people around you feel uncomfortable in any circumstance. so if a person has good etiquette, you will not make anyone around you feel uncomfortable.

it really doesn't matter if you wanna breastfeed in public. by all means do so! i'm all for women's lib, and mother's rights. i think mothers are beautiful. breastfeeding is natural. i think children's rooms and child feeding areas should not be in the women's toilets, BUT let's have social etiquette. don't make people around you feel uncomfortable...

seriously, who wants to see your breasts hanging out in public? it's just not nice! doing discretely is ok too... cover it up.

i think i'll be nice when i eventually have a kid...
