How do you feel about women breastfeeding in public places?
Q. I heard a story on the news last week about new legislation in Britain, allowing women to breastfeed in public places. I didn't think It was illegal anyway, as long as decency laws weren't broken. I would never have breastfed my babies in a public place. There are so many arguments for and against this subject. Personally I dont like to see it. I know its natural but then so is making love and you wouldnt want to do that in a public place. I think there should be more places for women to feed their babies (not in public loos though) in order to encourage them to give their baby the best start in life. Maybe clothing manufacturers should try to invent some kind of shroud to cover up while feeding. What do you think?

A. Personally I think that breastfeeding in public is acceptable, and to be encouraged (as breastfeeding should be encouraged for health reasons, and we don't want women to be chained to their home for the first year of their baby's life). I'm only uncomfortable when people do it very openly - i.e. with their boobs on display. I always tried to be discreet, and bought special breastfeeding clothes to remain covered up and not embarress small boys! Mine came from but there are lots of other places selling them now I think. What do other people think?

A. Public defenders usually try very hard to plea bargain most cases quickly because of their impossible work-load. If you can afford it, hire your own attorney (look in the phone book). They actually have your best interest in mind.
