 Dr. Phil, my beef is you missed a prime opportunity, or maybe you did it later after taping, to get into the real matter with the anti-breast woman.  It wasnt breastfeeding she had a problem with.  That was the least of it.  She obviously was hostile towards any form of self expression.  I didn't get all the program, I was busy and going in and out trying to catch it...but I am going to guess she doesnt have any children and has issues with the human body no matter what it is doing! FEED A BABY IN THE BATHROOM!!! You should have called her on that.  I realize she seemed just ready to unhinge but crap, its YOUR show.  You should have told her to get over it.  And that you DO NOT EAT IN THE JOHN!!!

I breastfed my children and I have six.  Most of them were fairly easy to convince when and where.  But Hannah, my now 17 year old...anywhere, everywhere and all the time!  There isnt a store, eating establishment (both fast food and fancy) within 100 miles of here that hasnt been breastfed in!  BY HER!  And let me just go ahead and flip you off your chair backwards...she didnt wean until she was almost 4!!!  Sometimes we were discrete and sometimes I did all I could to keep her from wanting to nurse one and "hold other one Mommy."  Not when she was 4 of course---but as a toddler. 

I have a brother in law that had issues with it...but I couldnt care less.  I didnt do it at his house in front of him but he had issues with me doing it at all!  Honestly though, he just pretty much as issues period.

Yes breasts are sexual.  They are supposed to be.  But they are also for nourishing  babies.  Men, women, whom ever is offended by it is not JUST offended by breastfeeding but have some issue with breast/nakedness and differentiating between the sexual aspect and the nurturing aspect...I suspect it is a deep seeded problem.  But hey you are the doctor.

But for goodness sakes...LOOK AWAY and quit whining.  Turn your chair.  Be a big girl.  That breastfeeding mom paid for her dinner too!
