And for the record, it isn't something that MUST be done. There are options, some people just prefer not to use those options. I was the only breastfed child in my family, and I will say that I am the closest to my mother which is possibly an effect of that bonding. I personally prefer breastfeeding to bottle feeding from a psychological perspective. That being said, as I have repeatedly said, there is just some common courtesy to doing it.

We agree about the simple common courtesy of using a blanket or a towel.

You are right, it isn't something that MUST be done. Most women do it because it is better for the baby and his or her immune system. In cases where the mother has chosen to breastfeeding, it must be done.
