Should Women Breastfeed in Public?

Should Women Breastfeed in Public?

Breastfeeding is a natural biological function, but is there a time and a place for it? Nearly 75 percent of American mothers breastfeed their babies, but the issue of nursing in public remains controversial, as it raises the difficult question of how much exposure is too much. Babies get hungry even in public places, so what's a mother to do?

    Breasts are "For" Feeding Babies!

    No question about! God made the women body to have kids, and breasts to feed babies!!!!
    I fell sorry for women who doesn't feel comfortable about their bodies, and don't like to breastfeeding in public. And also, I feel sorry for the babies who the mothers simply don't like to breastfeed, and refuse to do it because of any reason.
    Women who say they are Christians should breastfeed their babies. It is in the bible!!!!
    I breastfed my daughter until she was 2 years old. It was good for me, convenient, and awesome for my daughter who remember until now.
    She is very healthy, strong, and barely gets sick.
    Ignorance take people to the level to do something. People should do research on things they don't feel comfortable or agree, instead put their noses in somebody else life.
    I wish everyone could read you opinion, and think about it very hard.
    Mother's milk, is healthy, is already warm, is free, and is convenient. Also there are 100 reasons to breastfeed babies. One of the reason is low the risk of breast cancer that everybody is talking about right now.
    It should have a shirt saying, Say NO to breast cancer
    Say YES to breastfeeding!
