Many babies get upset if their mom tries to cover up with a blanket when nursing. I know I did, and I know that my friend's eight-month-old did, too. Yet many people believe that if you're going to nurse in front of others, you should be completely covered up. Why don't they realize that bfing moms sans blanket aren't being indiscreet, and they don't want to offend anyone but do what's best for their babies? Wouldn't they be more annoyed with an angry, hungry, screaming baby who feels suffocated by a blanket than a quiet, nursing baby whose mom is still probably showing less flesh than many female celebrities? Even if they do happen to see a nipple for 1.5 seconds when the baby latches on/delatches/falls off/gets distracted/looks away...the baby is decidedly less noisy than an angry hungry one.
