Uncovered breastfeeding in public
I think many of us can agree that breastfeeding is natural, and the healthiest way to feed your baby. But how does it make you feel when a mother breastfeeds her baby without covering up? When a mother's breast is completely exposed, do you find it offensive or shocking? Do you have a hard time knowing where to look? Or would you be unaffected if a mother was breastfeeding in front of you without covering up?

Well, first of all, no one should be staring at her long enough to be offended...It would not bother me at all personally and if it did bother someone they should simply look away. I used to walk around the mall while nursing my daughter, the shirt covered enough for me, and I was commended by others for the calm way I went about it. I never noticed if I got unfriendly looks. I would probably pass the compliment on to the other mom.
