I don't mean you personally, Cee, but sometimes we can be over-protective
of "our issue" and not allow for different perspectives.  Some women really
don't want to show anything while breastfeeding, and we need to respect
that.  And babies can be difficult to nurse in public when they are that
easily-distracted age.

As far as the name goes, yes that is unfortunate.  Given that the business
is run by two breastfeeding mothers, I'm guessing they were trying to be
humorous when they named it.  I'm sure the last thing they wanted to do was
offend other women.

The site says good things about breastfeeding.  I didn't care for the
pacifier in the diaper bag.  Over all, it's really not so bad.
