Breast feeding is the most natural act but mothers should make an effort to keep it to just a natural act between mother and child. If mother covers up then it is better for child because most of the infants feel more relaxed and fall asleep. However if a woman purposly doing multi tasking with showing off to others around then few people do find it offending. Although same people may not find it offending when it comes to few grown-ups behaving badly in public.
Ratter - Where did religion come into this. Or you have to link everything with religion as somewhere in your subconscious you always find religion challenging your belief?
As for your comment about Muslim woman, let me tell you one more thing (although it will not make any difference to you). Islam makes it obligatory for mother to breast feed her child for two years. And Muslims women do breast feed their kids as much as they can if not two years. But you are right that they do not take it out in public as they do the way almost all of the posters have mentioned here including yourself. Discretely………….

In our health centre, in the room where the breastfeeding group meets, they had some sketches of breastfeeding mothers - discreet and tasteful in most peoples opinion, but some muslim patients did request these be taken down as they were offended by them.
This should not be a cause for it to be banned though.

Keyplus, religion never challenges anything in my mind, only the mentality of its believers. And yes I link many things with religion because religion has infiltrated nearly every part of every bodies lives in some way!!
and only when every body realises the futility of these deities will we be able to escape from these ridiculous ideologies.

I breastfed both my sons, but I have to say i rarely ever had to do it in public. I can remember feeding them a few times in the car on long journeys (not while the car was moving!), otherwise I fed them at home or wherever I was visiting in another persons home. Maybe I was just fortunate in that they would wait til they were fed and were pretty routine in feeding times.

You have to be ultra-careful using the Daily Mail as a source. It's another one of those stories where they're making up the link between the mother being banned and 'offending Muslims'. The receptionist (reportedly) said "this is a multicultural centre", but nowhere else in the story is there a link to anyone specifically saying that Muslims would be offended.
It's just the Mail reaching out to the baser instincts of some of it's more right wing readership, and it stinks.

by the link it seems it was the opinion of one of the staff that this would happen.... cool that someone knows her job so well she knows every Muslim in the town and of course what does or doesnt offend them.
