What is the matter with the police, or did they just want a bribe?
Well done the moms!
I can't believe! You are now an expert in the protocol for breast feeding in public in Argentina!

I thought you had children? Unfortunately your son, gordo01, seems to be as stupid as you.

Way to go Girls,

Breast feeding is natural & certainly nothing to be covered up.
lf someone doesn't like it-then don't look.
But why would anyone NOT like to see a mother feeding her child?

I had to laugh with our daughter- in-law when we Skyped on Sunday. She said of our six week old granddaughter “she's a terror to bath, she clamps her arms to her side and won't let me wash under her arms”.
I just love that child on the far right with his bare feet waving around and he's still looking at his mom! Happy days remembered.

Traditionally, breastfeeding in public has not been an issue in Argentina, so it's anyone's guess what got these cops to harass Constanza Santos.
The healthy reaction of thousands of moms goes on to show that Argentines know how to jump to the fight when our inevitable share of dinosaurs try to trample on our rights.
All for the perfectly natural act of breastfeeding to be legal in public, but would it be legal for Maxi to do a “bitty” with CFK in public? Scary thought! :-O

I know I am probably going to regret this but what is a 'bitty'?
if it's anything to do with TMBOA's tits it will be impossible, they will be hanging below her knees once she takes her tit sling off.
