look AH most if not all of us know a baby thrives on the lactated liquid from a mom's titt but every thing has it's place and a selfish, birdbrain mom should take into a little consideration the tastes, attitudes and practices of others around her ...

...of course this example may be dramatic but possible in the views you hold…imagine you're attending a social affair hosted by a neighbor in their home for friends and their families...a mom settles in on the sofa amidst the gathering, sets up shop and commences to breast feed ...a couple of kids congregate and ask, what ya doin' lady???...bout that time Johnny who's hormones are becomin' active tries every way to sam to see if he can get a gander at the mom's attributes meanwhile young Mary and Suzie grow a bit embarrassed wonderin’ about whether Johnny can remain in command of his fantasies or they're about to be groped so he can fulfill the moment’s experience knowing these girls have become physically developed and quite tasty lookin’ ...

...instead of puttin’ your judgement ahead of the views of others, even if it doesn’t offend you be big enough to give others some consideration... Dam my daughter breast feeds and the family and friends are aware of it but she prefers to have some privacy …we extend the use of one of the bedroms and they rejoin the family picnic, supper or what ever it may be, once my granddaughter’s appetite has been satisfied…

Perhaps if she had NOT BEEN "ON DECK" at the time?? She needs to pick her priorities. Nose picking is natural too, but I don't wanna see it.

Virginia law clearly states that no nursing mom will be denied the right to nurse her child while on any state owned or state controlled property.

If other people have inappropriate reactions, it's THEIR problem. I'm a man, I like womens' breasts, but *I* don't gawk when a woman is breastfeeding....

The baby's gotta eat. The law's on my friend's side. Nuff said.

JD, I'm with you 100%. I cannot believe that there are people who find it offensive for a baby to breastfeed. Also, I've never seen any mother who was not discreet while doing so. We need to get into the proper century.

you're a man "jd"???? ...and you don't gawk!!!! ...I don't pass on many opportunities these days but even when I was younger I have to admit I probably wouldn't have then... just one of those phenomena of interest and lusts in life...would you immediately look away if a lady in your seating vicinity decided to get topless ???? …”jd” you raise more questions about yourself than are settled…

you idiot, from what you relate both of the event and the law I fail to see that the benefits of the law were denied ...she just didn't like being directed to the breast feeding suite ...

huge difference ...wow with your bio and a quarter it may get you a big gold star ...oh may I say I'm dazzled by the reserve status you mention ...why is beyond me, just thought I'd be nice in sayin' it ...oh and I almost forgot, a software engineer isn't that super ...I'm in awe

I had to wait a day or two and think this over before I responded. I believe that Americans have an unnatural breast fetish, and have perverted something natural into something nasty, something sexually exciting to our more unbalanced citizens.

Having said that, and having been a mother who breastfed, I also think that decent women who would never flash their naked breasts any other time don't make a freaking political statement when it's time to feed their babies. I wore appropriate clothing, including outsized cardigans,etc. and when I fed my babies, I found a quiet place where I could relax, and both of us could enjoy time by ourselves. That's how we bonded.

There is nothing wrong with breastfeeding, and there is nothing wrong with discretion and modesty, either. I agree about public bathrooms being unsanitary, and I agree that the feeding process should be as clean as possible. There are just times when a Mom has to think ahead and make a plan to ensure some privacy. It would be wonderful if public facilities could make a room for mothers available, with a sink and a few comfortable chairs.

Oh, and my friend has since received a formal apology from the GMU/Manassas Freedom Center. They've educated the entire staff, and it won't happen again.

My friend doesn't demand to breastfeed topless, and she really can't leave the pool deck in the middle of a meet...she's the team coach, for heaven's sake! She's discreet, and she's got a special shirt for that sort of thing.

And no. She's liked that name for a long time...she's into the old irish stuff like that. It had nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings.

fantastic thoughts to "jd", "Grandma" ...this is the practice both our daughters used to manage having a life outside the confines of the home till our grandchildren were no longer nursing ...if our local daughter and the family were comming over to visit us for a while or even to make a shopping trip or visit with their friends she brought along stockpiled frozen mothers milk ...it offered her near normal freedom and enabled her to manage feeding times...

I don't think there's any question this discussion we've been making on this subject has created a picture to my satisfaction that this is really nothing more than clash of wills highlighting a mom that's within herself to far and indifferent to the world outside her orbit, even probably takes some pleasure in shovin' it in someone's face for reaction...
