I tend to agree with most of what you said there Spuggie. The public attitude to breastfeeding in this country does seem to be one of disgust and repugnance rather than viewing it as perfectly normal. Mind you I do think it's also the responsibility of the mother to be discrete about it. It's one thing to quietly tuck the baby against you with a shawl around both and quite another to go flapping your boobs around in public places.
