Consider yourself lucky, chicks always cover up here

Wow... She should have excused herself at least. It's gross when people do that in public. If you are going to, please do it somewhere private.

******* hippies!! Yes breast is best but we don't wanna see your leaky ****!

Wheeee! Boob chaos!! If I ever have an infant at my disposal, I am totally planning a trip to the UK just so I can whip my business out and "feed" my "baby", who doesn't like "covering" his "head" when he "eats".

Breast feeding is beautiful and natural and what boobs were designed for! Ok, sure, fine. But NOT at work and NOT in public. I understand the baby is hungry, but the kid isn't going to starve to death while you find a private place to feed it.

I can see why that would have been awkward. She could have at LEAST covered herself while doing that.

I nurse my son in public, but only when I need to. I find nursing rooms and secluded park benches to be MUCH more appealing than oh...say...in the middle of a meeting? My kid doesnt need to be distracted by traffic and parades and freaking employees. He needs to eat, and go to sleep. Sometimes its unavoidable. You will have to feed your kid around other human beings. It happens, and im not concerned about what you think. That being said, as a boss, this woman should have had some common sense. Feed your kid, and then call in your employee. Im all for multitasking, especially as a parent, but geeze !

Hey, on the brightside we know she can multitask...

Wow, didn't realise this would get so much attention so quickly. Thanks guys! Not suprised that this has stirred a debate on breast feeding as a whole though... To clarify, my boss has recently had a child (duh!) and has therefore been on maternity leave. This is the first time she's come back to work. I actually work in a research lab, and so my boss gathered myself and a few of my coworkers (a doctor and a PhD student) together in an office to discuss the progress of our research since she's been absent. I didn't mind having the meeting, I didn't mind that the kid was there too, and I definitley didn't mind her having to feed the child (nor do I ever mind when any woman has to do this, but especially in this case because she asked us all if it was OK to feed her before doing anything). But I have never had to work so hard on maintaining eye contact in my life! Awkward!

Get over it! A little boob never hurt anyone. Or has it....
