On a side note…how does this fit into what Islam teaches us and the cultural values we practice in regards to covering our bodies? Desi Muslim women reading this…..would you teach your daughters that its ok to uncover her breasts in public for this purpose if she wants to in the future? Would you be 100% comfortable if you were sitting next to your husband/father/FIL etc., and a woman started openly breastfeeding in the table next to you (or close by where she was clearly visible)?

I wouldn’t have a problem with my (future) daughter breastfeeding in public as long as she was discreet.. Likewise if I saw a woman breastfeeding near my hubby or father I wouldn’t have a problem with that - unless she literally had her whole boob out and it was completely exposed.. If a woman feels the need to uncovera breastslightly to breastfeed I don’t find that offensive, though we obviously all have different ideas of what’s considered “inappropriate”..
