Breastfeeding in public

When man thinks he can outdo what God has created, God usually shows us better.

IGNORE the negative comments about breastfeeding. Anyone with a brain in her head knows there are natural antibodies in breastmilk, that it is BY FAR healthier than formula (and yes, the $, convienences, etc.) Studies have shown the kids tend to be smarter with better early nutrition too. I have seen some incredible fat babies that were breastfed exclusively until they were two, and grew into thin, healthy kids and adults.

The one thing I'd like to ask is: You moms- we all know it is natural and good to breast feed. But please remember, remove the baby and you are just a topless woman. So to think that it is so beautiful is fine, but most men and boys are still thinking sex. It is not a hardship to throw a recieving blanket over you when breastfeeding in public. One wonders about the mindset of the gals that fought for the legal right to bare-breastfeed in restaurants. In this country, public nudity is not the norm. Not to be a prude, but many kids have seen the breastfeeding at home- they don't need to be out in public looking at your boobs, too. With all the infidelity and porn problems going on today, I wonder how many wives are comfortable with their husbands checking you out?

Feed the babies, but remember, your breasts are FOR THE BABIES- not all of us. Thanks- PS- I know many of you will write in and yell at me- don't bother- heard it all before.
