parents tend to think that their child is the center of the universe. that having a baby is the be-all, end-all of all that is honorable and holy, to the point where it allows people to think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want. but i tend to disagree. breast feeding in public? sure, it's necessary, the child has to eat, so it's imperative women be allowed to breastfeed when necessary. what's not necessary, is for me to see it. and as far as i can tell, women tend to know when their child needs to eat, what times they eat, etc. a child is not a ticking time bomb: it's only courtesy to be discreet about it, whether finding a corner to breastfeed in, or using a blanket. i would liken it to having to sneeze. cover your mouth. but 50 women would disagree with me...
