Our Managing Director once brought her 1 month old daughter to the annual senior-management meeting and breast-fed her under a blanket at the forum table.
Every single other person in the room was male.
I have to admit, I think it made everyone uncomfortable, but she seemed fine with it so that made it easier on the rest of us. Honestly, it was pretty confronting - in SUCH a formal setting - to have her breastfeeding at the same time as she was going over sales strategies and planning.
I can totally get where people are coming from when they feel uncomfortable seeing people feed in public.
It just highlights the point I always make: yes, there is some dissonance here, some uncomfortableness, but it's the PUBLIC's problem to deal with that emotion, not the breast feeding mother. We've pushed parenting so far into the background in our society(s) that the least we can do is politely carry on as normal when some poor sleep deprived mother attempts to nourish her child at a restaraunt.
