BUT, I do take issue with some of the "suggestions" offered by Kane. I mean, isn't it a bit contradicting to say "Don't be ashamed of feeding your baby" and "Use a cover up". How about "Feel comfortable while breastfeeding" and "Ask permission"? No offense, but I'll be damned if I ask anyones permission for my child to eat, unless there are signs specifically stating "no food or drink allowed in this location". I do think she hit the nail on the head when she states "In MOST cultures it's considered completely normal" (emphasis mine). If we are going to consider our great country to be the biggest and the best then we need to get over ourselves considering one of the most fundamental and basic practices of the human race - that of a mother feeding her baby, and I mean HOWEVER she feeds her baby. A mother bottle feeding her child should illicit the same response - namely, none of your business. Just my $0.02 Well, putting a positive spin on breastfeeding is always a good thing in my opinion.
