Wow, I am surprised at how opinionated people are over whether children should or shouldn't be out on BF! I have kids, but they don't go shopping with me - I do almost all my Christmas shopping that day, so I don't want them seeing what I'm buying. However, other people having their children - or babies - with them doesn't bother me. In fact, in all honesty, if I had to shop with a child, I would much rather shop with an infant I could carry and feed in a sling than with a five year old who can walk. In the end, as long as I get what I'm out to get, you could bring your neighbor's children for all I care.
