Look, I know Bill’s opinion about public breastfeeding is shared by plenty of people, most of whom have either A) never had a child B) exclusively bottle-fed formula to his or her child(ren) or C) haven’t had a child yet. And while I honestly do admire those folks who choose not to have kids, because, in my humble opinion, there are just too many damn people on the planet as it is, the fact remains that something like 90 percent of us humans will procreate at least once in our lives.
And for those of us who do choose to have a kid, in those first few months when we’re wandering around sleep-deprived with baby vomit all over our shoulders all we need is a freaking break. Seriously. The UN states that prisoners of war must be allowed to sleep for four hours at a time. Babies do not know about this rule.
So please, don’t be an a-hole if the woman next to you at Applebees starts to breastfeed her baby. Do the polite, civilized, discreet thing and simply turn the other way.
