Cool Lets see how quickly this post gets transferred to Jet Blast...

Good luck to the woman for being unembarrassed enough to breast feed in public (natural action and all that). Have seen it in all sorts of places, including during a church service (wedding) (no, not the bride!), so why not on board an aircraft? However, speaking as a guy, the problem is not embarrassment but being torn between trying to look the other way while also trying to discreetly watch. Tricky. Maybe I should settle for the dirty guilt.

Totally agree with the idea that any amount of public breast feeding is better than a baby screaming because it cannot equalise ear pressure on take off and landing. One has visions of 'Sid the Sexist' type announcements along the lines of "t*ts oot faa tak off" . Hum, maybe not .
