do you eat in public?
No matter the age, a child has the right to eat when hungry
I am so pleased to see the women agreeing with this discussion. I hear this argument every day and as a consultant get so saddened by the dads and some grandmas who feel women should have to hide or carry a bottle to feed in public. It will only be when we learn to look at a mother nursing her child and say how beautiful instead of cleavage that it will be totally accepted in our holdover puritan society. Those of us who stand up for moms everywhere are winning this debate one baby at a time.
