WE need an intelligent debate on what it actually is that people are 'offended' by when a woman breastfeeds, because it can't be anything to do with nipples – men have them on show all the time at the beach.
I would like to invite R Cochrane to spend one hour attempting to bottle feed a baby who is refusing.
There is a reason that screaming babies are thought of as a form of torture.
If mums are having to use a bottle every time they might offend someone then occasional becomes regular – unless of course we all stay in for the first two years to avoid the pollution that is apparently more damaging to our babies.
