Okay, I know when I read this sort of thing, we're winning the battle.
But SERIOUSLY, how paranoid can the media get!

""Advocates say serve it up, but some doctors worry that if a mom has an
infectious illness like HIV, her breast milk can spread the infection to
others. So, moms should be careful to keep breast milk off surfaces."

The main article is a poll on breastfeeding in public spaces.

It's only when you click the photo montage of the 9 'situations', do you

Also contains this little gem:

"Breast-feeding expert Dr. Sharon Mass, an obstetrician in private
practice in Morristown, N.J., says being discreet "is not mandatory but
it would be a courtesy" if others might be offended by seeing a glimpse
of breast."

Next to a photo of a mother wearing a thong bikini, AND A COVER UP
SHAWL!!!!!  Honestly, a thong bikini and a cover!  *gnash*
