To the woman who said 'breastfeeding in public is not ladylike...':  LOL!  Maybe not, but there's nothing more womanly than breastfeeding your baby if you ask me (in public or private).  I respect everyone's right to their opinions, however, it seems to me the problem is not nursing in public.  The problem is the public's anxiety over a female nipple.  Ever since Janet flashed hers at the half time show a few years ago the country's gone a little crazy over nipples.  It's just a nip people!   

Also, to the woman who stated her frustration with those who choose to formula feed, stating that these woman carried their babies for 9 months and then were done:  I'm sorry, but I think you are out of line there.  I choose to bf my son.  My friend chooses to ff her son.  That's the beauty of living in a civilized country, we can CHOOSE which way to feed our babies, and they grow up big and healthy either way.  Breastfeeding is not a religion.  It is a choice, it is a serious commitment, it is a wonderful experience for some and a painful one for others.  Do not judge someone because they don't see things as you do.
