I absolutely love that cartoon. I've had it saved on my computer for a very long time now. 
Those booby hats for baby were really popular for a bit!

I just don't get why it's so important to some of these mothers that their breasts are SEEN. Who are they trying to impress? Isn't it supposed to be about giving nourishment?
I don't honestly think breast milk is more nutritious after the booby gets fresh air.......
I think any mother should be able to nurse anywhere she wants too.
But why does it all have to hang out on display?
The fact is breasts ARE sexual and BF moms know that..... it's not just the men who think so.
I wonder how many breast-feeding mothers act all "offended" that their breasts are looked at as sexual things....and yet have a closet full of low cut tops, clingy tops, push-up bras to enhance their cleavage etc.???? Don't try and tell me that's done for baby's sake!!!

I would like to say that I am also uncomfortable around women that wear very revealing tops. I have been around some that show ALOT of cleavage, even when dropping off kids or being around children. This make me feel uncomfortable and I am sure I am not the only one.
When you bend over I would just assume not see ANY cracks or cleavage.
Just saying.

Oh I forgot to say,
When your 3 yr old tries to pull your shirt up to cover your cleavage that should tell you something.

I probably should feel guilty about nursing my son in my daughters kindergarten class. That was probably bad. The teacher really needed the help though and I thought I found a perfect hiding spot until she caught me. Me with deer caught in the headlights look and her with her eyes popping out. Sorry teacher!

It's not natural to eat with a fork or spoon, but most of us do it for social reasons. If I'd never seen a fork, and you said "how would you like to eat with THIS?" I'd probably think you were a little kookoo.

I disagree. I've known devote Muslims who eat covered and they have told me what a pain it is. Even though its what they know, they'd rather eat uncovered. Also, babies are supposed to be looking around, looking at moms face, ect while nursing. Not kept like a damn parrot under a sheet. Again, just because a mom doesn't cover up does not mean she is exposed. My child covers my breast with his body, and I show far less nursing than most do with cleavage shirts on.

I dislike how it's called "enlightening". I've seen public breastfeeding, I've seen people be uncomfortable, but I've never seen or heard anybody say anything rude about it.
But, those moms who can tell the older gentleman is uncomfortable will make a point of being in front of him as much as possible to "enlighten" him.
Not everybody is going to feel enlightened even if you follow them around or have a "nurse in".
I was reading on Mothering.com when a mom was complaining that a Missouri Cracker Barrel restaurant manager had just thrown her online friend out of the restaurant for breast feeding at her table. She was demanding a nurse in at the restaurant.......but, at that same time, MY friend happened to be at a Missouri cracker barrel restaurant watching a woman throw a HUGE scene because her two year old had been screaming non stop for 30 minutes, so the mom tried nursing her. The child didn't want to nurse (she wanted a waffle) She threw that triangle puzzle across the room and it hit an elderly gentleman at the next table. The manager asked them to leave and come back when the child had stopped screaming...the mom created such a scene that police were called to escort her off the property. So, the woman had everybody in the US go on this cracker barrel facebook page and blow it up with complaints. I copied and pasted the whole post from my friend, and most of the people deleted their comments on facebook, nobody ever showed up to her "nurse in".

There was actually a nation wide Cracker Barrel nurse in a few years back. I'm not sure it was this situation or not. I've attended a few nurse ins, and there are few places I have boycotted for over 6 years due to their habitual (not a one time occurrence) of nursing ignorance and prejudice.I dislike how it's called "enlightening".

Can I ask you....what is the point of a "nurse-in" anyway? There was actually a nation wide Cracker Barrel nurse in a few years back. I'm not sure it was this situation or not.

Wouldn't you get your point across better to simply not shop or visit a store?
*NOT being rude...just wondering....I am waaaay beyond the breast feeding age and have never been one to understand sit-ins or those types of social statements....the Occupy Wall Street people confused me too, so just wondering.....

They're an effective way to persuade certain companies to revisit the law/their policies and inform/enforce their employees of proper protocol. It's pretty effective in today's world of widespread social media backlash.Can I ask you....what is the point of a "nurse-in" anyway?

Although sit-ins can be effective I do not agree with why they are. They're an effective way to persuade certain companies to revisit the law/their policies and inform/enforce their employees of proper protocol. It's pretty effective in today's world of widespread social media backlash.
I personally think that they are equivalent to an adult temper tantrum.
Make noise = get heard = company does as group wants to silence them (whether the company agrees or not).
Not seeing how a sit-in is educational to anyone.

Tree Hugger (lots of those here)
Sit in (the 60's) big time
Just a way of people trying to get their points across. Usually costs the taxpayer lots of money for additional police/government workers and usually in the end-no resolve

Sit-ins are a peaceful way to be heard. To me, an adult temper tantrum would be egging windows or something destructive. The sit-ins I've been involved with started when a company was perhaps unintentionally breaking a LAW. It has nothing to do with "getting our way." It's illegal for an employee to harass a nursing mother.Although sit-ins can be effective I do not agree with why they are.

I'm not sure any of us are saying that mothers HAVE to cover a baby's head with a blanket while nursing. The argument is that it can be done discretely without the need to show a bare breast. I posted a pic on the other NSFW thread that was a great example of how a mom can nurse her child without having to use a cover-up.Meeko - do you want to eat with a blanket on your head?

Thanks...I was going to refer to that picture. I have never said a child must be covered with a blanket. Just that mother's don't need to become strippers in order to feed their babies.I'm not sure any of us are saying that mothers HAVE to cover a baby's head with a blanket while nursing.

It's a peaceful protest/demonstration. A large group of nursing moms at a location that is not nice to nursing mothers shows OTHERS what is going on, and this creates a scare to those companies. Many companies end up changing their policies and guidelines because of these nurse ins. No one likes bad publicity for kicking out a nursing mother.

Except I keep saying I'm discreet, but nurse over my shirt, uncovered, and am continuously receiving backlash for it.I'm not sure any of us are saying that mothers HAVE to cover a baby's head with a blanket while nursing.

If your entire breast is on show, that's not discreet in my book. But each to their own. I don't think your baby would mind one bit if you were covered a little bit more.It's a peaceful protest/demonstration.

Sorry...but "over your shirt, uncovered"....sounds that way!And I have never once said my entire breast is on show. You just assumed that.
The main thing here is you are getting very offended that not everyone feels exactly the same as you. Most of us here are STRONG advocates for breast feeding if it can be done. (Many BF moms tend to look at those who can't or don't as second class citizens and bad mothers which is very unfair)
We DON'T like the rabid way some moms are and the way they like to FLAUNT their breasts in public.
As it is perfectly easy to feed in public AND do it discreetly...then there is only one reason to want to flop them out all over town....and it's NOT for baby.

Really? I think the Civil Rights movement was greatly enhanced by these. Now, I am not comparing the Civil Rights movement to public breastfeeding, but I am a little taken by your statement.
