Well said, that's a good choice. I think I wouldn't like to be exposed that way either. I like my privacy, I don't think it has to do with being a puritan. I understand that you need to breastfeed in public situations sometimes, but I think covering yourself a little is a considerate thing to do, for yourself and others. Recently I went to my cousin's house whose wife had just had a baby and she breastfed the baby in front of me and didn't cover herself. I didn't mind, we're good friends, but I think if it was me I would have done...or maybe retired to the bedroom while I did. What was said about making polite conversation while breastfeeding, that's what I did, and it wasn't at all embarrassing. More like I was interested, I haven't seen it done that many times and maybe one day...
As for raeanna's story...sex object?!? WTF that's twisted...
