LOL.  I showed my daughter a similar product a few months ago, as she was
sitting at my computer nursing her second child, and she said, "Why don't
we just buy a big flashing neon sign that says, 'Hey, I'm BREASTfeeding
over here!  Everybody look at MEEEEEE!'"  I agree... products like this
just draw attention to the fact that the mother is doing something under
there... and perpetuate the idea that breastfeeding is shameful and should
be hidden.  Yuck.

Cee
