I for one have no issue with breast feeding. I only flinch at the fact that someone else who is around might. There's nothing wrong with breast feeding but it would be nice if the breast feeder took the feelings of others into consideration. It's not the act of breast feeding but the breast itself being out in the open. People always go crazy when they see 'too much' cleavage. This is just another example. Just like nudists. Nudists have every right to walk around naked but they are conscious of public opinion and sensitivity so the only go nude in certain places (beaches, nudist communities, woods, etc...). It's a courtesy thing. That's all. Hogwash!! There is a differencebetween breastfeeding and being nude (I am all in favour of repealing all laws resricting public nudity BTW). I speak from experience, all 3 of my UMs were breastfed, so I have seen a whole shitload of breastfeeding going on, in pretty much any circumstance you can imagine (in public, in private, in bars, on buses, in cars, you name it....well not in church because we didn't go to church, but I did see a woman nursing her UM at some dinner function at a Mormon temple that we got invited to for some reason).
You can see a little more skin than a modern bikini shows, except for a very brief period at the begining and the end, so if you see anything that offends, its because you were looking for it. You cannot "accidentaly" see anything, as you will notice the mother preparing to breast feed (opening, or lifting shirt, opening nursing bra, etc.) If you see something its your own da,mned fault.
