But I always find it so strange when people suggest that the mother go do it in the bathroom. And the fact that the same people would probably be so horrified and judgmental if you bottle-fed a baby in the bathroom is telling, I think.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203151255248154129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-79978188840515332222009-04-07T11:35:00.000-06:002009-04-07T11:35:00.000-06:00The kicker is that while pee and blood are treated...The kicker is that while pee and blood are treated by biologists and chemists as biohazards, breast milk decidedly ISN'T.

Obscenity is subjective, and while some people are comfortable with an exposed breast being used to feed a child, others may not be.
