Yes, definitely, go for it. A woman's breasts are INTENDED for feeding a child. That's why they exist. It's just stupid cultural changes that have recently made it "taboo" to hide them.
Breasts are natural, and a part of every woman's body. Not to mention the absolute best source of nurishment for a child.

Many places have laws that protect the right of mothers to breastfeed in public. 36 states have laws that protect a mother when she breastfeeds in public. If the mother is allowed in a public place then she can breastfeed there as well. So public restaurants, park bench, the state house lawn, etc. are covered by the laws. The mother does not have to cover herself or go into a bathroom stall to breastfeed. If someone has a problem with breastfeeding then they can turn away or leave.

I swear to god that all of this is true....I have been a server for over ten years. I have had friends that have breast feed in public but they covered well and nobody really knew, it looked like she was just holding the baby. The last couple of years however I and other servers I have talked have noticed more and more women nursing without a blanket or anything....sometimes wearing a tshirt and lifting it exposing BOTH breasts....all of this in a restaurant ordering food and people eating around them. Also the ages of the kids are getting older, this is the part where you wont believe it but I have seen kids up to four years old being breast feed, some of them AFTER they have finished a small plate of food. My patience with this is wearing thin. I have also noticed these women all have extra small breasts where they feel they can just lift their shirt anytime they want. If a women with double D's did this people would get out of their chairs.
the moral of this is that if you want to do it in a mall or park go ahead but please not in a restaurant without covering up......please

i'm no longer for banning it or asking a woman to leave, yet absolutely everyone affirming an engorged breast with a tiny human sucking on it truly is nit sexual, is a hypocrite. She had a toddler that would not advise I stop seeing her breasts as sexual. for this reason it bothers human beings, it truly is sexual coz breast are sexual in our minds and it is also incorrect coz the guy sucking on it truly is a baby. in case you actually do see breastfeeding as only a fashion of feeding your baby use a cover and make it almost you and your baby. Sucking on lady's breasts is area of what we do after we've sex, only coz she had a baby why do I particularly could imagine breastfeeding is aww so sweet... F u ck off... women those who refuse to understand this and why human beings are uncomfortable seeing them breastfeed are both ignorant or exhibitionists... i could particularly in no way desire absolutely everyone besides the undeniable fact that the daddy of the youngster, if he became my better 1/2 see me breastfeed.

Not a problem. If you're out with your baby and it's hungry, some people think you need to hide in a filthy public restroom to feed it. Now that's warped.
Americans are way too freaky about nudity in general (though violence is apparently fine), but this is even more ridiculous. Feeding babies is what breasts are for. What in the world could be "gross" or "dirty" about it.
People who are bothered by it really need to grow up and try the grown-up table.

I think it is fine and natural.
I know some people get offended by it for some reason. It is always nice to ask if it is okay.
The fact is that public places like malls and such don't often have facilities for breast feeding mums, like change rooms etc so they simply HAVE to do this in public.

I have no problem with a woman breast feeding their child in public, as long at they are humble about it and attempt to be not so obvious about it.
I do get mad at those women that just flop their breast out and don't even bother to cover up. Then they have the never to try to start something with anyone that asked them to cover up.

I am all for it- you woudn't get mad at a woman for giving her 5 year old a hamberger, so don't get mad that she feeds her infant. I do think it is better if she covers up with a blanket or breastfeeding cover though.

I am all for that i breastfed my son until he was one. I feel like if you cover up properly and u feel comfortable with it than go ahead. I was kinda of nervous @ first but i got over it i mean hey that's how it was done before we even had bottles right lol so be proud to breastfeed is what i have to say
