A young woman was in the coffee shop with her infant. She was meeting two friends. The three had a lively conversation going on.
They were located right beside me. The young mother had her back to me, but would look around at me every once in a while. I suspected that she wanted to breastfeed her baby, but was either concerned with my reaction, or didn’t want me to see it.
Either way, a woman breastfeeding her child isn’t something that bothers or thrills me. When she began breastfeeding, I noted her activity on my awareness’ edge but didn’t make any move to look, etc. I mean, one, I was busy writing. Two, really, a boob? And a feeding child? Is that something to get excited or upset about?
I don’t think so.

I might glace at people eating, but that’s to see what they are eating and to see if they like it or not, but for babies, I know what they are eating and… I really don’t believe they eat for enjoyment.
*** in other words, I don’t watch breastfeeding babies either.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m MUCH more apt to check out others’ food. I want to see what I’m missing. I’m also nosy about what people are buying at the store.
