I'm sorry, but I think I read in your piece about
"public" breastfeeding (in your office), that a mother
should feed her child in the bathroom.  Is that where
you eat?
Do I understand correctly that you think breastfeeding
is a private act?  Do you eat only in private?
In my state of Connecticut, there is a law to protect
a woman's right to breastfeed her child wherever she
has the right to be-public, private, or government
property.  It seems like a silly law, because of
course babies need to be fed when they need it, and
you wouldn't object to a baby being given a bottle. 
And when you think about it, a woman breastfeeding is
pretty covered up-more even than teenagers in a bikini
on the beach I go to.
I can't even dignify the remark regarding urinating in
public.  Are you seriously meaning to say that
providing "Nature's Perfect Food" is the same as
eliminating waste?
So-what's the real problem?
Sincerely yours
Ellen Kadden M.A., IBCLC

mother of 3 breastfed adult children, all of whom
think breastfeeding in public is just dandy
