Ok, being a mom... I had to throw my two cents in here...
I have two kiddos - and both of them I breastfed for at least 8 wks. The first one I was EXTREMELY discreet with and most of the time would express the milk so that if I was out in public, and my little one got hungry I could give him a bottle. However, you practically have to plan your life around doing that. And sometimes the body doesn't agree with those plans, and you have to nurse or else you have a MAJOR mess in your shirt, that isn't exactly something you can cover up.
The second time around, I nursed more in "public" places, but always stayed covered up. Keep in mind, that as much as nursing moms try to keep it covered up... the baby still has to breath, therefore its hard to keep it totally covered up.
The thing about this is, if you aren't used to seeing it - it certainly can make a person a bit uncomfortable... as just with a car wreck, etc. once you catch a glimpse its hard to not look...
It is a totally natural thing, that while it does, shouldn't make a person uncomfortable... when all else fails, and you want to do so... ask yourself this... what is more disgusting... seeing a mom nurse her baby OR her having HUGE wet spots on her shirt.
Not to mention the pain that comes along with rock hard, milk filled breasts... when nature calls ya better answer.
