It's been all over the news: Woman gets kicked off plane for breastfeeding! Toys'R'Us denies woman's right to breastfeed in store! Public breastfeeding has sparked a debate among women, and the sides are as heated as they are numerous. Breastfeeding advocacy groups, such as the La Leche League International, and the information produced by pediatricians across the nation suggest breastfeeding is urged without the use of formula until the child is six months old. Today's modern and informed mother often wants to offer her child the benefits of her breastmilk, but doesn't always know where, when, or if she should breastfeed in public.

I agree that a baby's need to eat is more important than uptight stranger's opinion about breastfeeding in public.

It is upsetting how breastfeeding is not embraced by society. I honestly never saw a woman breastfeed in public until I did. I do have a cover-up I use but most moms can do it without showing any skin.

I found it unavoidable to not breastfeed in public. I would have never been able to leave my house EVER if I had not been able to nurse in public. I don't know why a small minority of misguided individuals insist on making life difficult for infants.

I breastfeed and have done so in public. However, I do make sure that I am covered up. But, that's more for MY comfort level than observers. Great article.

I have breastfed in public, numerous times. A baby's need to eat is more important than someone's hang up about boobs. Great article!
