It'll be a blessing when we come to the place that breastfeeding is completely standard behavior and "discreetly covered" does not mean making such a display of "I'm nursing but you'll never know it because I'm sitting here wearing this weird bib/drape/shawl/cover-up that's overheating my baby but I'm being "very" politically correct."

When my friends and I were young and nursing babies, we managed to stay covered, without any special garb. Usually just had a lightweight receiving blanket, slung over a shoulder. I used to nurse my baby in public and no one ever gave me a second glance. Guess we were just a super-genius generation!
