Fascinating. Only men have thus far answered my question about women breastfeeding. Surely women have opinions about this?

I was in an airplane recently and a "discussion" broke out between a few people when a woman was nursing her baby. With a proper coverup!

@DrMobs Yeah, I feel remorse at times. Then I think of my right hip Dr. Bone n' Joint. I can handle 5 minutes of baby-holding before I fall.

@mollydotcom Do you experience any particular response?

@ctford How fascinating you should ask. Yes, I do. I get a physical ache in my body and immediately become highly alert and very protective.

@mollydotcom Pride, in a good way. Proud that they feel comfortable enough to do that, and that they are doing it at all.

@mollydotcom Probably would have had a different answer, maybe "makes me a tad uncomfortable", before we had kids and my wife breast-fed.

@mollydotcom Amazement. That one human can feed another from their body. A child that their body has grown.

@mollydotcom Well, that looks normal to me. Not sure it triggers any particular emotion. Depending on context, maybe I would find it cute?
