10/07 The Latest Debates

Quote From: f3268a

No woman should ever take her child into a public restroom to breastfeed.  There are airborne germs that no feeding child should be subjected to.  However, I do think, it is best for all breastfeeding women to cover themselves with a light blanket before they unviel their breast.  It is just uncalled for to think that everyone in society needs to watch a woman bare her breast for any reason.
Have you even read all the women who have said some babies -- probably *most* babies -- do not want and will not have a blanket over their heads while they eat?  You try it sometime -- it isn't much fun!  Part of the glory of sharing a meal together is the social aspect, and it's not fair to ask a baby so new to this world and trying to figure it all out, to miss out on that, anymore than it would be fair to ask you to miss out.  I really think we need to stop thinking of babies as a whole different species with a whole different set of rules.
