Shaming a mother for feeding her child is disgusting and uptight and misguided.
It is not a dirty function, like urination or defecation.
There is no waste being produced.
It is not a sexual function.
There is nothing shameful or immodest or dirty about feeding an infant.
It is frowned upon ONLY because we have made breasts more primarily sexual things,
than for feeding infants.
I think humans are the only species who have done this.
We are all human.
That is how humans feed their infants.
If anything, it should be respected and protected.
Nobody else hesitates to eat in public,
and some adults eat in a far more off-putting manner that a nursing infant does.
Let the kid eat.
