Rosie said:Belching out loud and feeding a child are on two different scales and cannot be compared. A mother feeding her child in public is equated to a immature child? Come, come now. Tell the child to make the small sacrfice of missing lunch or dinner because you are offended by their mommy's breast.
You are missing my point. It is common knowledge that many people in our society object to public breastfeeding. (If it wasn't, this rather lengthy thread would never have been started.) My objection is primarily to the blatant disregard of the feelings of the other people who share public spaces. It is rarely right to knowingly cause offense when it can easily be avoided. It is not an undue imposition to ask a mother to retire to a more discrete setting and cover herself with a light blanket. No exposure, no missed meal, no problem.
