A women that is breast feeding is neither a turn on or are overly attractive so the issue isn't "sexiness" but rather "decency."
Going to the bathroom and picking one's nose is a natural function of our body, but I would rather not watch others do so & prefer that they exercise some "decency" in such an act.
I am also one of those who don't go for letting the little ones (5-6 & under) running around in the summer without any clothes on.
Decency is a word that has been redefined in recent years I am afraid!

That is true & if she has any decency she would exercise some modesty!

This I know as I am a mother who nursed three. I always did so privately and personally I would have been uncomfortable in public.
It just strikes me odd in the "pentecostal" circle that so many would think it is OK to expose the breast. I have no problem with looking away, the same as I do when I see "plumber crack". LOL.
So carry on... To each his own.

Re: Public Breast Feeder
I've seen public breast feeders in public places,I just try to look away as not to stare.
If someone is covered up then it would be ok.
Public breast feeding can be done discreetly.
They make a product,that one can drape overselves where this can be done modestly if you will,where no-one can really tell what one is doing.

Well, I consider myself to have decency and have breastfed uncovered in restaurants, parks, at the zoo, almost everywhere I go.

Eh, well I'm not quite as pentecostal as some here.
But no, I don't have a problem with a mother breastfeeding her child where and when the baby needs to be nursed. It's normal..and usually everything's covered up anyhow. The occasional flash isn't enough of a reason for a mom to go hide in another room or just stay home all the time. It's what they're made for...and it's most certainly not sexual in any way. IMO, and speaking only for myself, it's not that it's ok to expose a breast, it's that it's ok to meet the needs of the infant in the way God designed for them to be met. Exposure that happens as a result of parenting an infant is one of those "such is life" things. Kind of like when I didn't wear elastic waist skirts for a *long* time after my then 3 year old got ahold of one I had on...... It wasn't *ok* to flash the world..but it sure wasn't not ok either. It was one of those moments.

Re: Public Breast Feeder
It probably depends on your geographic region, but where I live it's perfectly normal to feed your child when s/he needs to eat and I've never had anyone look at me funny.
