Put those breasts away: Woman asked to cover up while breastfeeding during flight {Gadling}

Are you familiar with breastfeeding? A breast being used for feeding can not be "seen." The nipple is being "engaged." As for the rest of the breast, I dont find that "indecent" because (lets face it) we can see AT LEAST that much on the MTV music awards.

Put those breasts away: Woman asked to cover up while breastfeeding during flight {Gadling}
Aug 11th 2008 4:39PM Karen,
No offence, but all states have laws protecting breastfeeding. She is not legally reqired to cover-up. The attendant should not have even requested that. It was very inappropriate of the attendant, and she does have the legal right to address that issue in civil court. Also, if a mother needs to breastfeed her infant in a mall they will not be asked to go somewhere else. Like I said, it is their right. The mother's right and the baby's. Would you like it if you went to a restauraunt and the waitress asked you to move because the people next to you thought you chewed your food too loud?

Cross Nursing - Natural extension or disgusting and weird? {ParentDish}
Jul 29th 2008 1:23PM I feel really disturbed by the comment that breastfeeding in public is wrong. Would you feel disgusted at seeing someone give their baby a bottle in public? No! In the same fashion, I think that a lot of the "stigma" associated with breastfeeding is because women in this country have traditionally fed their babies behind closed doors. Remove the sigma! I breastfed my baby PROUDLY everywhere I went! Honestly, I found that more WOMEN were judgemental than men. Men seemed to be understanding and unfazed by the fact that my baby was at the breast. Also, I felt that I should not be "shamed" by the fact that I wanted what was best for my baby and that I should not be "exiled" to the closest public bathroom. (Many of which were a lot more disgusting than the act of breastfeeding!)
