The Credit Account Full of Boobs

After watching Babies, I found myself thinking about one particularly funny experience at work.  One sunny Wednesday afternoon, a mother and her two children decided to purchase a new necklace.  She already had a credit account with us, but we needed an update on her address, phone number, and work information.  Nevertheless, as children usually do, her littlest one started demanding dinner just as she sat down to complete the update form.  So the customer proceeded to whip out her breast and start feeding her baby.  The sales associate that was helping her hadn't been the company for a very long time and immediately her face turned bright red.  My coworker has nothing against breast feeding, in fact she actually prefers it, but when you have a fully exposed boob two feet in front of your face, it's hard not to be a little embarrassed.

I too prefer breast feeding to bottles and have nothing against women breast feeding in public.  However, there are some people that don't wish to partake in dinner time so I feel it is only polite if the mom first asks if  her actions will offend the person she is working with.  I'm glad that Babies, didn't cut out or sensor any of the feeding scenes.  It really showed how natural breast feeding is and how much it helps mother and child bond.
