Re: don't people usually cover up while breastfeeding?
i saw this other pic posted b4, that first one i hadnt seen, honestly im really shocked by the pic..not that i think anything is really wrong with breastfeeding but geez have some decency for maybe pplw who dont need to see her bare breast out in public-whether she is feeding her child or not, i still think she should be partially covered

Re: don't people usually cover up while breastfeeding?
I have a tendency to let my boobs "get some air" in certain tops, but in this instance, I would cover up.
It looks like she's playing with it in the first pic!

Re: don't people usually cover up while breastfeeding?
I'm sorry - that is a bit much! 
I am all for women breastfeeding in public, but have some decency! do you have to pull out your entire boob?

Re: don't people usually cover up while breastfeeding?
I do not plan on breastfeeding my own children, but I really could not care less about what other people do as long as it is discreet. Most people can't even tell when moms are doing it because you can't see the breast. I don't think that picture looks nice or natural at all. It looks sloppy. Sorry JMO.

Re: don't people usually cover up while breastfeeding?
I responded in the other thread... but I feel strongly enough to respond here too.
I don't see a problem with it. She's feeding her child. She doesn't care who sees. She doesn't look at her breasts as the definition of her sexuality. She doesn't see feeding her child as vulgar.
I went to the beach this weekend and saw a girl in a thong and a bikini that did not hide more than the nipples on her TREMENDOUS boobs. SHE was looking to get attention for her breasts.
There will be women who breastfeed more openly than others. When we start putting limits on what is acceptable we open all the wrong doors.

It is kind of shocking and I personally would try and cover up a bit more, but I def don't think it's the most scandalous thing in the world. No need to freak out over it.

WHAT? playing with it??? Shes drinking from her mothers breast, babies drink differently from the breast then they do a bottle! Sorry but I'm shocked to see woman responding this way, its such a natural thing to do for your child. Oh and I'm sure she didn't know camera's were on her, there could of been no one around, we dont know for sure.....

Re: don't people usually cover up while breastfeeding?
she may have been covered up with the jacket that she was wearing - who knows how long that paparazzi was watching her, waiting for the moment when she showed the most skin.

ITA!! How come people does not freak out when celebrities bare their naked breasts on the cover of a magazine? I guess that is sexy but a mother breastfeeding her child is the worst act ever.

ITA. Before becoming a mom I was very private about the boobage but when my kid is hungry I will whip them out. I do cover but some moms feel fine NOT. Its not bad-just different approach. We were born naked after all.

I def do not think this is a scandal or anything like that. I just feel that particular way of breastfeeding (meaning her entire boob is exposed) would be best done behind closed doors. why would anyone want to be that exposed in a public place? I have seen many women breastfeed in public and I think it's 100% natural and beautiful. but there is a discreet way and then there is this way.
ETA: my Dad took MANY pics of my Mom breastfeeding my sisters and I when we were babies. my Mom was wearing one of those special breastfeeding bras (the part that covers the nipple comes off) and you can't see anything but the back of our head and a little bit of the bra.

I agree. I have no problem with breast feeding your child in public but there are ways of doing it.
