Should Businesses Cater to Breast Feeding Moms?
Breast feeding is the best way to feed your baby but still their are people you have a hard time seeing a mother feeding their infant this way. Should businesses provide areas for breastfeeding moms?

Yes, Give them a comfy spot to feed baby.
I would go to a store just b/c I knew there was a comfy, private, non-stinky place to BF!

And, while they're at it, could they throw in something for my preschooler to do while she waits for her sibling to get fed? I don't ask for much...
Mothers are more likely to patronize businesses who give good service and additional accommodations. And if faced with a choice between shopping and their child's health, safety and nutrition, guess what mothers will choose?

No, feed the baby at home!
Breast feeding a child is a personal, BONDING time between mother & child....
Isn't that what mothers always stress?...It's natural and good for the baby, etc...
Ok, then leave ME out of it....do it at home....NOT in public places, please...
Babies need to eat just like everyone else. You think they should be forced to wait to eat or to be fed formula (both things doctors recommend against) or, heaven forbid, to eat in a room where people defecate, just because you are apparently afraid of body parts that ALL MAMMALS (including, I assume, yourself) have??? I'm sorry, but that's CRAZY.
Not to mention the fact that you will see a lot more breast in the magazine aisle of any local convenience store than you will when most women breastfeed.
