It just goes back to the fact that in our society, we don't typically see breasts in public. There's a certain shock to it, but I was certainly never offended (I, for one, will never be offended by a breast out in the open), and I think people that don't understand that a mother is fulfilling a basic NEED in a child. I can't say much that hasn't already been said in this thread, but anybody who can't get past their issues about breastfeeding has much greater issues to worry about.
