    I agree it is a natural thing and i would rather see a mother breast feeding her baby than have a sceaming baby close by. A woman should be as descreet as possible keeping as much of her breast covered and maybe have her back to the room.
    As for in some countries where women cover their faces, a trip to dubai, and Abu Dhabi shocked me when seeing a woman in full dress yet breast feeding her baby. So maybe its the more western civilizations that have the problem with such a natural thing. But to answer the question yes but appreciate some people do take offence so try to go somewhere a little more private than a buss stop in the town center.

    • Much better answer, when in infant is hungry they need to eat and not in a disgusting bathroom! Because you're ashamed!!

    • The more western the more shame. How could anyone think that breast feeding is offensive!

    • You're feeding your child .. Stop worrying about what the rest of the planet thinks. Breastfeeding was the most memorable and beautiful experiences I have ever had , don't cheat yourself and your baby out of this precious time.
