I just think it's silly. When I go to a fashion show, I often see breasts. It's really not that big a deal. How often do you even see women breast feeding their baby's? Not that often I'm sure. So, when you do, don't roll your eyes or make a fuss just ask yourself......
Would you rather listen to a screaming baby?
Same, and I don't use a cover. At home I am not as careful to be discreet.

I don't think anyone has ever seen my boobs while nursing LOL except at home :)
Oh my gosh that is awesome!
Quoting wenchmommy381:
I love this one!!
IF they are covered up and nothing is showing but if the breast is out in the open that means you need to try harder. Are we teaching our kids two ways of feeding a baby, yes we are but they don't need to see a breast hanging out and yes I had seen that and yes I did roll my eyes. Big deal.
I have actually, on both counts, and yet my opinion hasn't been changed... not by you or any other EBF fanatic. Go live in another country if you want to EBF without judgment. Or live in a communist society. Or be forced to cover every part of your body in public. My point stands.
You might think I'm "talking out of my ass", but you listened, didn't you? AND felt the need to try and prove me wrong. Which means I had a point. Good game though.

Quoting TresDynamiques:I will breastfeed proudly no matter where I am. Anyone that has a problem with the fact that I am nourishing my babies the best way I can is welcome to kiss my white a**. However, there are ways to do it discreetly to avoid creepers, such as buying a nursing cover.
Also, if you insist on breastfeeding a child old enough to ask for it, do it at home. There's a difference between feeding an infant that can't feed itself, and babying a toddler or grade-school age child just because you have severe attachment issues. No matter what people say about "other countries", it's not normal in America (other countries torture people too... do you condone that? How about oppression of women?). In this case, you're just asking for ridicule. Extended breastfeeding is quite honestly just an excuse to spoil your kid because you're afraid to let them grow up.
So breasts aren't sexual when feeding an infant, but they are when feeding a toddler? if you think there's an attachment issue by women feeding older children, then I think you're talking out of your ass and haven't actually discussed it with any of them or read on the benefits of nursing older toddlers.
People are so prude. I like nursing with a cover on. But if it is more comfy to momma and baby to nurse without good for her. don't let Prude people dictate your comfort level. If there uneducated, it's not my fault. there were times I would bf in public with cover on and my daughter would play with the cover. I would try and stay covered, but only for my comfort level. I didn't want people seeing my stomach lol. But what are they going to see, A mom feeding her baby the best way that she can. I just can't see why a guy would get excited over a mom bfing?
TGIF! What are you doing this weekend?
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many kids do you have?
