OK, truthfully there are few things I’d like to see less than a Mom breastfeeding in public.
I think it is not only gross but without dignity and tacky to do it where other people can see you.
Seriously, I think it is beyond tacky to trashy.
But you know what?
That’s my personal opinion.
I’m not the person who has a little one to care for and feed.
I’m not the person whose decisions are shaping that little person’s life in the future.
You know what?
Breast feeding seems like one of those decisions between a woman, her baby and perhaps their doctors and my aversion to it shouldn’t really come into it.
If I am so damn uncomfortable or offended by a woman choosing to feed her child naturally, and be natural about it, in public, like it was the most natural thing in the world (and, errr, it kinda is…) then I should stop looking at her. Who the fuck am I to say?
If a service member is caring for their child in uniform I say it is a credit to the uniform and these mothers should let their breast feeding flag fly where ever works best for them and their baby.
…Even if it is really, really trashy and gross.
