I personally do not perceive anything indecent about a mother utilising her breasts for the reason that they have them, to feed and nurture her children.

Absolutely!

I agree, but keep 'em covered.
I am an advocate for breast feeding if at all possible. The milk is the correct balance for the baby and there is less likelihood of them developing milk allergy later on.
I too am an advocate for breastfeeding,
just thought I would make sure people are aware that as Caroline said they are LESS likely to develop a milk allergy, but if they do you can still feed, it may mean you have to alter your diet, I breastfed for 14months, was dairy free from 4months myself and by the last couple also had to be of eggs and soya.

I always make sure I tell people it will hurt, your breasts are not used to being sucked on quite like that.
I am sad to see how many people mention that they had no milk and by day 2 or 3 had to change to formula, if everyone had better support hopefully they would be aware that most of us have no milk at that stage, the average (and remember that means some are more some less!) for milk to 'come in' is around day 5
We should be able to feed in public without feeling self conscious, it is a natural, normal thing to do, but unfortunatley there are people out there that reveal too much flesh, I remember being out with another fellow breastfeeder when someone suddendly 'pulled out' her entire huge breast with no attempt at discretion, neither of us knew where to look, if we felt that way I can understand how non-breastfeeding would feel uncomfortable I certainly did
and now for the comment that will probably upset
BREAST IS NOT BEST, IT IS (or should be) THE NORMAL NATURAL THING TO DO

If it hurts, you've not been shown how to get the baby to latch on properly.

no it shouldn't hurt long term, but the first few days are uncomfortable
Even then, it's often because the mother hasn't been shown how to latch the baby on.
