Mary:  Thanks for sharing the info on questionable attitudes to lactating
breasts.  Unfortunately, we must take into consideration issues of this
sort.  A couple of years ago, at one of the hospitals implementing a
state health code requiring labeling of bassinets as breast or bottle
fed, there were some incidences of obscene phone calls made to
breastfeeding mothers, who had apparently been identified in this way by
someone who worked in the hospital and apparently had this kind of
fetish.  Obviously this is rare, but very unpleasant nonetheless.
