Back then it was not too common but I never had any problems. I would carry a blanket and just drape it over my shoulder and chest area. My daughter breast feed her youngest for 18 months. Sometimes the toddler would make a big fuss and try to pull on her shirt in public. Most people never cared or noticed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016381446402077042.post-20306888825641493022010-01-01T10:02:04.603-05:002010-01-01T10:02:04.603-05:00In actualty, the law says nothing about discrete! ...In actualty, the law says nothing about discrete! The latter is like sitting in the front of the bus with tape over your mouth. I personally think 'discrete is weakening the cause. Like it is something nasty that has to be hidden. I encourage my daughter to open up a little. So in very nice clothes, in nice restaurants, no one dares bother her.

Even his ex-pediatrician (which explain the ex)is not supportive as I would like she was. However, in order to avoid public scene like Martinez mom was targeted, I try to be as much discrete as I can. Like you said, you can use a bikini in the beach, but have to be over-concerned about feed your baby in public.
