"Boob Tube", in Australia, is a stretchy, skimpy, circlet of material that is worn around the body to just cover the boobs.It wouldn't hide anything! In just a similar shift in our cultures, "thongs" are the flip-flops we wear on our feet whilst at the beach.

Nursing moms should be very careful that their covered up feeding babies are not re-breathing at the same time.
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."

Umm, yeah....and it was offensive enough in 'that' context.

I'm going to get back with my daughter on your comments. As rowdy as this kid is now (he's not due until Oct) I'm not sure she'll have very good luck keeping him contained in a cover while nursing. LOL.

Wear a shirt that buttons in the front keep the top buttoned and unbutton from the bottom then wear a tube top under. Draws less attention.
