Breastfeeding in a professional function?

So, I've come to terms with breastfeeding in public so that doesnt bother me since I can walk away. However, as a band director around other band directors at a professional function, I'm not so sure it's as accepted. The person in question is a friend and I'm not sure if it's something that I should discuss with her or not. I dont want to be the bad guy, but some of the directors (male and female) are a bit uncomfortable with this. What should I do?

    Youre question answers itself.

    THEYRE uncomfortable with it. Its their problem not hers or yours.

    Im sure your friend is discreet and can gage the appropriateness for herself. If baby is welcome at the function then everyone must understand that a baby needs to feed.

    Well, let's see.

    Depending on what state you live in, she has every right to breastfeed wherever she wants to.

    Even if she has her breast on display, there are still many states that have laws that prohibit nursing mothers from getting ticketed for obscenity/nudity reasons

    It doesn't matter if it's accepted to you.

    All that matters is that she feeds her baby.

    What is more acceptable?

    A screaming baby or a content baby

    ignore it if it bothers you- if she was covered up it is no different than feeding a baby a bottle! babies need to be fed and it as not always a convenient time- most places do not have places for mothers to nurse so we have to make do with what we have. it would be rude for you to say something to her.

    Well,it's basically like this. The kid has got to eat. And this is how she,the mother has chosen to do that. It's how children have been fed for thousands of years. It's not sexually inappropriate. It's just a baby eating. And they need to be adults about it.
