<<OK, I never thought I would have to deal with this.  We have a mom w/ babe
in NICU (doing well) but mom insists on not only breastfeeding her baby
openly (no curtains or screens) because she states she gets claustrophobic
and it is her right to BF in public (in OR).  >>

Plus, when not bothered by clothing or a cover-up, it is far easier to latch
a little guy. If he's in the NICU, he's got some struggles going on, and he
needs the most attention and the least interferrence.

I did have to giggle, though... (shock usually makes me laugh) Naked breasts
bothering nurses? That just strikes me as funny. As a nurse, I see every
body orifice, and have to put my fingers into many of them on a daily basis.
I would MUCH RATHER see a naked breast with a baby attached than some of the
other body parts I have to see with less than normal functions...

Best wishes,
Sam
