Moms Talk Q&A: Do You Breast-Feed in Public Areas?

If mom wants to breast feed her child at Partridge Creek, there is no law to say she can't. But what do you say?

No one gives a second glance to the mom who pulls out a bottle for her child at Partridge Creek Mall, but uproar follows the woman who dares feed her offspring au naturel in Macomb Corners Park. Michigan law states public breast-feeding is exempt from public nudity laws. But does that mean the mom of a 6-month-old or, even a 3-year-old, can still nurse in public for all to see? And who says if she can or can't? Breast-feeding is by far the main choice of feeding an infant, but should mom's milk be bottled before heading out to a restaurant, or is a well-placed shawl all one needs to feed baby right at the table.  What do you think? Do you breast-feed in public areas?
