Since most mothers are, in fact, discrete, I think you are mistaken. It may become commonplace to nurse, but not, I think, to do so rudely.......

when breast feeding in public becomes so commonplace that it's no longer out of the ordinary, it will no longer be an imposition. This is a central point here. Standards of public decorum change, and I think that in this case they have already changed: I am quite sure that only a very small minority would object to normal breastfeeding (meaning breastfeeding in a way not specifically calculated to draw attention) in any setting. Do we follow what has become the normal standard, or should we be guided by the few individuals that try to cling to the unnecessarily restrictive standards of a departed age? I find it amusing that people who are quick to point out, when faced with the absurdity of PC speech control, that nobody has the right not to be offended, are so quick to invoke the right not to be offended when it suits their purposes to do so.
