“blankets can cover up everything – if hold baby in arm whole time, he needn’t know when baby is nursing or not, and he definitely doesn’t see a thing. “
You’re right that he didn’t see a thing, but when the baby’s head disappears under the blanket, it’s not hard to figure out what’s going on. This was not a newborn so the rest of the time she was sitting straight up on my lap without the blanket covering her.
“So I am not going to criticize it, but if you won’t wear a slit skirt (slit below knee), then you probably shouldn’t be nursing in public. “
I don’t wear slits, jean skirts, or anything else on your list, and I agree with you that I shouldn’t be nursing in public. But what is the other option on the plane? I couldn’t starve the child for 12 hours either, and as I said, there was no option for her other than nursing.
