I LOVE women that nurse in public. Not in a creepy way. I keep hoping if our younger people see a mom nursing it be become 'normal'. You see more breast exposed at the beach than from a nursing mom.

Generally, you see so much more from regular t-shirts, let alone Victoria's Secret Ads. Additionally, how are young women (and older) supposed to learn how to breastfed without watching other women? I also don't see why it matters if children see it. Breastfeeding is a normal, natural part of life.
