I had my first child while living in Ecuador, where breastfeeding in public is the norm and it's not even considered rude to have it all hang out.
I had never really paid attention to breastfeeding politics in this country before, so I thought Ecuador was normal until we came home and I realized how different things are here.
I do nurse my children in public (church, etc.) when they are very small - and I always cover up. Once they get old enough to squirm and make noise, I'm not as comfortable with it. But I'm totally okay with anyone who does - I really think we make way too big a deal of women nursing in public when half the magazines on the newsstands show more skin than the average nursing mother!
