Hey lady if you keep yours hidden so will I.  My family is doing fine and we live according to our faith and this includes keeping yourself covered up.  Yes by all means breast feed but cover it up.  What is so difficult about keeping it covered up.  I suppose my ideals are pruitan but why would you think it is wrong to keep it covered up?  I can recall as a young fellow at a park many years ago.  Myself and a few other friends were shooting marbles and a woman came and sat on the bench about 10 feet away from us and one of the guys gave me a elbow to the ribs and I looked up and this woman had pulled one out and she wet it so as to wash it then she got a cloth and wiped it and then she got a tube of something clear and rubbed it on the entire area and of course all of us stopped play marbles and we were five boys and she had our complete attention and then she picked her baby up out of the carriage and aimed the nipple to the receiving lips of the small child.  With this show we were all quite aroused at this long careful display of breast manipulation.  None of us at the age of thirteen needed to witness such an image of what should have been a private moment or at least a moment of cover up.  After this one of the boys began to steal his older brothers dirty books and bring to school for the rest of us to look at.  I dont think it made any of us outlaws but it did change the way we looked at girls after this (for a time)  And I am sure that with television and movies we see sex all the time and it does influence us on how we view our own sexuality and the sexuality of others and you think I am bad because I say keep it modest and keep it covered except in your own home with your own mate.  No man or woman is an island and what we do affects others.  It was not my intention to offend but to give an opinon based on my life experience.  I might add that there are those that think baggie pants worn low on the hips is hip and showing ones butt crack is cool or kool (Im not sure which).  What if you had your day in court and your attorney walked in with pants like that dont you think this would have an effect on your view of him and would it not take you breath away if he bent over to pick up a pencile and it was in your line of sight.  I think it would.  Look at all those hip huggers, naval rings, 10 ear rings in each ear, a stud in your tongue or the eyebrow.  About a year ago there were several 16 year old girls arrested at a mall for wearing mini skirts and they were bearing their bottoms for some of the shoppers.  The point is the way we dress or undress even if we have a baby in our arms affects society as a whole.  And I wish there were more women like Shelly who have the courgae to say cover it up and not someone who has little character because its easy to go along with the 61% that tends to burden our society with more sex and influence that flys in the face of morality and make no mistake about it this is a moral issue just like the condom issues and the wife beating and so many other issues.  As seemingly harmless as this is it makes a statement of the charater of a woman who does or does not want to be in a chaste condition to her husband.  You say scary and I say moral.

The proposition that it is immoral to breastfeed without a cover is ridiculous. I can't believe an otherwise intelligent person like you doesn't know how to spell cool (ok maybe I am missing something here, I suppose it's possible the young'ins are calling it KOOL these days?). 

I think it is great that you like boobies so much. I don't deny that boobies are nice organs to look at, soft to the touch, and that my baby and my husband find a lot of comfort in them. 

The woman you described as coating her breast in a clear liquid was probably using a purell or something, perhaps she rolled around in a septic tank before going to the park, but for normal circumstances you should not use much soap or other harsh cleansers on your breasts, it leads to dryness and cracking nipples. The montgomery glands excrete a cleaning agent that keeps nursing sanitary. Just think about it, do you suppose the field workers stopped to wash up as they took their babies from the back sling position to the front before a feeding? 

I am so happy you don't like looking at my boobies because I don't want to show them to you! But I will do what is necessary to feed my child when he is hungry, and if that has to involve a little skin or a flash of a nipple during latch on so be it. I just don't understand what is so hard about averting your eyes if it bothers you. 

My nursing has never been initiated in anyone else's face or at their table so mind your own bee's wax.
