Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public? What are your opinions?

I think women should be allowed to breastfeed in public.

I think it’s ok when I see this because it’s part of nature of the baby. When it happens around me, I like to spare the space to her. It’s better for women to do it in a nursing room, because good environment should be offered to them. It’s better to wear extra protection, it will protect their privacy. in my opinion, if men meet this, they should not stare at them. They should regard this as a normal behavior.

Revised:

Most African American musicians only played blues, but some played classical music as well and learned European harmony. Some even mixed European harmony with the rhythms and scales of blues, and it was from this mixture that “jazz” was born. One of jazz’s greatest musicians was the trumpet player Louis Armstrong, who helped to develop many styles of jazz. He was in New Orleans, his home town, in the 1910s when the marching-band style of New Orleans jazz (or “dixieland”) was being born. In the 1920s he was in Chicago inventing new ways of improvising with Joe “King” Oliver and his band. Then he was in New York City in the 1930s when big band jazz and swing were developing. These new styles were played by jazz orchestras with a rhythm section (drums, double bass, piano and guitar), brass and woodwind sections, and sometimes strings and one or more singers. Swing was hugely popular in the 1940 s, becoming the music that nearly everyone danced to. Some of the greatest jazz orchestras were those led by Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Fletcher Henderson, with whom Louis Armstrong played. All the most popular singers of the day, like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, sang with jazz orchestras.
