The actual question was:
"Dear Annie: I recently attended a baby shower for my niece, who had a baby
last month. There were 25 women in attendance, rang ing in age from 6 to 89.

While my niece was in Lamaze classes, she met several ladies, five of whom
attended the shower with their newborns. During the shower, these wom en all
exposed their breasts and nursed their babies. They didn't bother to use
anything to cover themselves up. When my niece's new baby began to cry, she,
too, nursed him in front of everyone.

Am I being too old-fashioned to think these ladies should cover themselves?
For some of us, it was quite uncomfortable to watch."

Me again.

There were *6* women in total who were nursing their babies!!!  Doesn't this
woman (and Annie's writers) realize that this fact shows that breastfeeding,
and breastfeeding in public is the *norm*, then, among this age group!

AARRGH!  I've posted this to several breastfeeding message boards, several
women have written already.
