Bluebird of happiness

Personally I do feel rather awkward when I see someone breastfeeding in public, because I find it hard not to stare at what is a rather intimate, private activity. I see this as being entirely my problem if I can't help staring, and not something that the mother should have to worry about, but I wonder if it's one of the reasons that people do complain so much. For the sort of person who likes having petty laws passed to force everyone to behave like them, stopping people from breastfeeding in front of them probably seems like the appropriate way to avoid that embarassment.
