Donna  says,
 
<<If one  studies medical ethics there is a clear case for the right of the
baby to get  mother's milk.

I often think that using that approach might enhance  breastfeeding promotion
and acceptance.>>

 
 
Perhaps all we really need  to say is that everyone else in the world has a 
right to eat in public, and  babies do too.
 
One wonders if the people  that get offended when women breastfeed in public 
are also offended when they  see a cow feeding a calf or a horse feeding a 
colt.   OTOH, maybe  they've never seen any other mammal feed their young.....
