Angelina Jolie Breast-Feeding on Cover of W Magazine (Photo)

Yay! I’m glad to see that. Maybe it will catch on that it’s not “dirty or should be hidden”

She look radiant! Look close that little hand is making a Peace sign!

I think it’s great! Breast feeding is supposed to be better for the baby, right? People seem to do what all “the stars” are doing. Hopefully it will show people that even the rich and famous breast feed and they will follow suit. You go girl!!

I think its wonderful! I love seeing new Mothers out in public with their babies and breast feeding…I wasnt able to breast feed, my daughter just wouldnt latch on right and it was so painful…i was so looking forward to being able to spend that time with my daughter b/c no one else can do it but the Mother…

But I think its great to see women, of course, covered up, breast feeding b/c we dont want them to get arrested for indecent exposure…I have also noticed a lot of places I go now have nursing rooms for Mothers with tvs and changing tables and recliners…I think its great…

I mean if we can embrace the nudity on our tvs what is so wrong about a Mother feeding her child?

Breastfeeding is the best. And economical!

But I was a little shocked when I was at a grocery store in San Diego a few months ago, and a woman with a squawling toddler riding in her cart, whipped our her breast just to shush him. And then, while the child rolled its eyes up at me while he nursed, she asked me if I could reach into the refrigerator section and get her the item she needed. I did. And then I ran.

When I did the christmas shopping the year my son was born (1979), I nursed him in just about every store in town; sometimes in the changing rooms and sometimes in the middle of the mall. It was a lovely time-out for both of us. We need to get over this obsession with breasts; they are milk-producing glands. It has not helped that the porn industry (with an assist from plastic surgery industry) has turned them into sexual paraphernalia. We need to support and encourage our nursing sisters.

Sorry but I find public breast-baring, for any purpose, very offensive. I understand that this is a natural act but there are several natural acts that really should be kept a bit more private. This is one of them.

I never implied that an infant shouldn’t be fed. I merely stated that exposing one’s breast publicly was offensive. One can feed an infant without flopping one’s tit out. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it should be done publicly.

Hello Sylvia, Yes, I can see why you may be uncomfortable. The “tit” is actually a breast, and “flopping it out” is one delicate maneuver only to be compared with nutrition and love. I am sorry you feel the way you do. You make a good point about the “natural” thing however. So why is it that you are really so uncomfortable with public breastfeeding?
