...and that's why shopping malls have food courts. So you can sue the burger!

Is it Sharia?

I doubt you'd see many nipples from breastfeeding mums either, there generally being a baby in the way.

As with anything, you've got to have a balance. Breastfeeding discreetly in public is one thing, exposing your whole breast a la Little Britain to make some kind of statement is another. It's actually very easy to breastfeed without exposing any flesh whatsoever to the general public, who, in many cases wouldn't even realise what you're doing.

I have breastfed 4 kids which brings it up to a total of 3 years of daily breastfeeding experience...

They even sell breastfeeding clothing these days with fake pockets you undo, then hang just your nipple out. I never bothered, just threw a cotton blanket over my shoulder and around the baby and people just thought I had a sleeping baby in my arms. I did give my youngest an ultimatum at two and a half though - I told her she could write her own name and tie her own shoeloaces, so it was time to give up the boob or I'd cancel her ballet classes.

well, it's not done me any harm as far as that is concerned, but I guess it's different for all women...some might think that the breastfeeding has made them saggy, but it might be more to do with genetics, who knows...loads of women around with saggy breasts that never breastfed...

She saw the Lou and Andy dolls in the ABC shop and wanted them for Christmas a couple of years ago, but they'd sold out by the time I went to get them.
