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 Breastfeeding
BREASTS ARE FOR BABIES
Nurturing your baby through breastfeeding is the most loving and comforting act a mom can do. Holding your baby close gives your baby security and bonds the two of you forever. I nursed 2 of my children for 6 years. The last one I had at home in my bed, attended by my husband and 3 midwives. My family was nearby. My mother was there. This was the best time of my life. I took my children everywhere and was never ashamed to nurse them wherever I was. I always carried a blanket and was discreet. I encourage all expectant moms to join a LaLeche group and you will be amazed at the love and friendship you will find! God Bless!
