Beth,
You are absolutely right(IMHO) that covering draws more attention but
what always bothers me in this discussion is the idea that (gasp!) Women have
the nerve to bf in public-they could at least be polite and cover up. At least
this is the message we are sending culturally. I too have always just nursed my
kids and no one has ever said anything (negative) to me. I do understand that
unfortunately many women do feel that they need to be "discreet." And most
certainly we have to work with them where they are. I just think as nursing moms
and breastfeeding specialists we have a great opportunity to model a more
normal behavior i.e. nursing without covering. Just my two cents and I hope it
makes sense because nursing an infant I think does cause temporary brain damage.
