Johanna, My husband felt the same way as your husband....wanted to compliment a nursing mom but felt uneasy. He finally got comfortable making comments like "isn't nursing your baby wonderful" or "isn't that so much easier than lugging a bottle around?" It let the woman know that he approved but wasn't so "in your face". On another matter, wasn't that you that got a letter to the editor published in Life Magazine? Way to go! (I wrote one too about the same thing, but was not published.)
