Oh, and for those among you who are oblivious, cow's milk isn't good for babies.
I think I once heard that the closest to human milk is goat's milk, but that thing smells nasty! (but makes a great cheese!)

Absolutely, human infants shouldn't even have cow's milk until they're at least a year old.
I'm an adult and I still can't handle it, lol

I'm going to echo Miley Cyrus on this one, it's fucking stupid how this works.
In virtually all forms of media it's perfectly okay to show side-boob, under-boob, cleavage, basically everywhere around the tit but the nipple. As long as we can't see the nipple. But we can show as many men's nipples as we like.
So the actual defining difference between men and women's chests are easily viewable but the thing we all have is okay for guys but not for girls.
It makes zero sense.
But uh, as for breastfeeding, I couldn't give a toss.

oh my God! a pair of boobs! how shocking! Like most women and quite a lot of men don't have pair, it's just boobs...
And if it was a glamour model with her tits out for your titillation on page 3, you wouldn't be complaining. I think some people have this idea that the only purpose of boobs is for sexual arousal. Breasts are essential for the survival of infants among mammals, and breast feeding still has great health benefits for human children today.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Fully support woman breast feeding! It's healthy for everyone involved. If it bothers you, then stop looking.
Westerners are too freaking touchy about seeing some boob or nipple, imo.

That depends on what the mother looks like
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

As a mother who breastfed most of my children, and who doesn't have too many problems with nudity, I obviously find nothing wrong with a mother breastfeeding her children in public. Or women who want to wear low cut tops, or bikinis. Yes, a lot of people are sexually aroused by them. That's okay! There's nothing wrong with that. Nobody should have to be a prude if they don't want to. If it offends you, look away!

This is what really pisses me off about it. The double standards.
You see pictures everywhere of scantily clad chicks, flashing everything but their nipples and it's sexy. The moment nipples make an appearance, especially for the purpose for which they evolved, it's a bloody scandal

I'm pretty sure no one saw any boob any of the times I was breastfeeding my kids. If you want a show, see me on any day I feel like wearing a low cut top, because when breast feeding it's pretty easy to do without anyone even noticing.
That being said, if the mother is comfortable, she shouldn't have to do it in a sneaky way.
