I was only commenting on the "it is a natural thing and it really does not
bother me" portion of the statement. I never, ever said to take the baby to
the restroom to feed it.
Discretion should be used, and a little proper planning in the timing of
things.
It really is NOT a good idea for a mother who is nursing her baby to make an
all-day adventure away from home or facilities conducive for breast feeding.
Standing in a checkout line (as in the original example, not yours) breast
feeding surely slows down the line as much as a customer on a cell phone, or
digging to find which credit card still has enough left on it for the
purchase. Everybody always bitches about these things holding up the line
as being very rude and being inappropriate, so why wouldn't breast feeding
and holding up the line?
