Yeah aprilgail2-
I remember being on a business flight many years ago and a woman was breastfeeding next to a 10 year old boy with no blanket or any cover at all. He was asking her questions about it, and this made her mad so she called over a flight attendant to have HIM moved!
So the flight attendant comes to me and asks me to switch with the boy. I didn't really want to switch because it was way farther back in the plane, next to the window and my stuff was overhead of my seat but I wanted to help this poor boy out, so I moved.
As soon as I sat down, the woman started telling me that the boy that had been seated next to her was a rude boy to even ask her what she was doing, and to look etc. So I told her that kids are just naturally curious and maybe she should have covered up with a blanket to avoid the situation. She said that she was not going to put a blanket over her baby's head and put him in the dark and heat just because no one had taught that little "brat" manners. I bet she turned out to be some fine mother!
Before you flame me, I will tell you that I breastfed two children myself. But I always went to a discreet location (yes even a bathroom sometimes) or at the very minimum covered up with a blanket in a corner somewhere. I understand that it is a natural process, but so are a lot of other things that we do not do in public and that nobody else needs to see if they don't want to.
Flame away, but that's how I feel!
But the belly thing wouldn't bother me for my family to see if it was JUST the belly!
Now let's hear some more funny stories! This thread is great!
