I wasn’t going to comment on this because even though I nursed both my girls I’m not one of these breast-feeding activists, but I’m just amazed at how ridiculous some people can be.

When I first read the story about the nursing mom who got thrown off an airplane, I thought she must have been “hanging out” (she reportedly refused an airplane blanket).

Well, today I read in this Newsweek article, that she was completely covered.

“I was holding my shirt closed with one hand. There was literally not a bit of my breast exposed,” the mom said. “I was being as discreet as possible.”

She wasn’t even in an aisle seat, she was sitting close to the window.

Besides, unless that airplane blanket was fresh from a plastic bag, it was probably dirty and germy. Every mom knows that.
