My husband and I are looking at trying for children in about 6 months time. I have every intention of breastfeeding in public. There are ways to feed your child without flashing your breasts to everyone else, whether it's using a blanket or just positioning the child to block the view. While it is nice to consider the feelings of others, I truly believe that people who totally flip out over this issue are the ones with the issue! It's their problem, let them deal with it. A mother has enough to deal with and doesn't need other peoples hang-ups. I have many friends who feed their children infront of both my husband and myself, and I have never seen any more of their breast then I would if they were wearing a low cut top.
I feel that sending a woman to a toilet to feed their child is unhygenic (some public toilets are a disgrace), and simply ostracises them over something women have been doing since the day dot!
