Jesus' Mother breastfed in public!

Madonna of the Stairs
1490-92
If I am not mistaken, this is a sculpture of the virgin mother publicly breastfeeding her older baby, Christ child.  Go Michaelangelo!  This should be on a La Leche League poster.

I was going to ask you if you wanted my cute little hooter hider thing... ha ha

Actually, I have been wanting a hooter hider. I would love it. I fully believe in publicly feeding baby, yet there are times and places where it feels more comfortable to be discreet with my body (I must admit I'm less comfortable with the tummy and hip chub than the boobs, in reality, though).
