Today there was another letter to Ask Amy regarding breastfeeding in  
public.  As usual, she firmly supported the mom's right to nurse and  
the ridiculousness of anyone getting bent out of shape about this.

Here is my letter to her:

Dear Amy,

Thank you so much for your ongoing support of babies' right to eat in  
public.  As a lactation consultant, I see many mothers who feel  
isolated, judged, and discriminated against simply for feeding their  
babies.  Breasts, like lips, may be used for sexual purposes, but  
their primary function is for feeding.  Mother's milk and  
breastfeeding are innocent, healthy and beautiful, and I thank you  
for educating people to be more supportive of mothers and babies.   
Anyplace a bottle or pacifier may be used for feeding or comforting a  
child, breastfeeding should also be welcomed and encouraged.
