It makes me uncomfortable.
It stems from my personal belief that breast feeding is a very intimate time between mother and child, something sacred and innocent. I don't think it's bad, just private.
Most every moment is a moment of learning. We are constantly pointing our children in what we believe to be the right direction, not to say that she wasn't pointed in the right direction, just not the direction I would have chosen for my child.
I do not have an issue with women breast feeding in public. I don't stare at or otherwise intrude upon someone while they are eating, no matter if they are sitting, standing or cradled in someone's arms. It just isn't polite.
