I did it in public lots of times. No one ever asked me not to, and I would not have stopped if asked. If my kid's hungry, he's going to get fed.

Just imagine if the breast-feeding Nazi's (and sadly there are some out there) were to confront every mom who is giving her baby a bottle because she's feeding them that way.

I will say that in hot weather I do get concerned when I see a toddler walking around with what looks like a bottle of milk, because I'm worried the milk will spoil. But I don't confront and I'd only speak about my concern if the mom were already a friend of mine.
