There is one side that overrides all here: the child's. You haven't responded to my comment about having someone walk up to you in a restaurant and asking you to cover up, or to Jim's question as to whether you've tried to eat with a blanket over your head. Why should the mother be made to choose between making her child feed under a blanket or not feed? Why penalize an infant because someone's sense of propriety is offended by an act that affects them not at all? That's the crux of the issue.
Because I didn't realize that the baby couldn't have a blanket over it when feeding, and I didn't think that by just draping on over the shoulder to help block random viewers was such a difficult thing, as it is appearing to be. It's been a long time since I've breastfed, so hey, I'm not as up on all the physics and such of the task.
As for the paper bag, so long as there were holes for eyes, I could probably make do. However, I would question your motives for it, since you are the one offended by others eating, yet you went to a place where that is specifically what happens. Not quite the same as the situation. |
