If you're judging, I'm judging, too because I had this exact thought yesterday while out to breakfast with SIL. My nephew never left his carseat and she leaned her arm over to hold the bottle upside down and continued to talk to me. No part of her body was touching his, no eye contact, nothing. Now, this is their choice and I have no right to an opinion, really, since he wasn't being hurt BUT later that day she commented, "I don't think he likes me." I asked why and she said he just doesn't "feel close". THAT made me sad. And FWIW, Mama would not hear full-blown choking. Gagging, sputtering, coughing yes. But true choking, the kind that can kill a baby, is pure silence. Thats why many moms jump more at silence than crying. When babies & toddlers are silent, there are so many scary things they could be doing....OR, just content to baby powder the entire nursery.
I've done exactly that at a restaurant, but that's because DS gets excited by things on the table and won't eat - he just grabs at everything. The carseat/stroller is a better place for him in public if I plan on him actually eating. That being said, I don't ignore him when he's eating - I talk to him, smile at him, etc.
Your SIL sounds like she may be going through PPD, especially if she feels like she can't bond with your nephew.
Excuse my highjacking, OP, but I have a question for the moths that only seem to come out for the flames. If your soapbox is, "You don't know that woman's lyfe! Quit judging!" then, where are your comments in support of AP moms when we get judged? If you really are trying to make a point that all moms have the right to make parenting decisions, then go down to the straight jacket post and support the OP. Otherwise, at least be adult enough to admit you're a sh!t-stirrer instead of hiding behind the guise of a crusade against self-righteous APers.
AP moms don't actually get judged. Oh, yes, I know you all think you do. You don't. At least not for being attached parents.
The sticks up your a$$es might attract stares, though.

Oh shut your pie hole. How many boards does a b!tch have to quit to avoid your idiotic posts? You're at least as ridiculous and self-righteous as the worst offenders who post anywhere on TB, but at least the AP posters keep it to themselves.

Jesus, LE.
You know, we've all been wondering why you left, and Firefly's been taking a lot of crap about it. I guess I should send her some cookies or something. I had no idea it was me.
But why do you take these things so personally? The TSA pat-downs aren't a plot to get you, and my comments here were in response to SAC. If you'd like to have a private cage match, that's up to you, but I've never attacked you anyplace, and never plan to.

Um, I left because your off-boad spends a lot of time causing drama where it's not needed, and I was just wasting too much time and emotional energy there. I never started anything with you, because I think you're generally the kind of arrogant know-it-all that shows up everywhere on the Internet. Mostly harmless.
I really don't come here to start sh!t with people - that's why I usually post on boards that I actually have an interest in. I can ignore stupid, but it's hard to ignore mean when it comes in out of the blue.
Re: I don't think I was judging
And this is where I'm camping tonight! When there is penis kissing and heroin use mentioned, you NEVER red-X out.
And yeah, I'll take some popcorn to go with my other snacks!
Sounds like someone threw *** on her glass house.
That sucks strawberry. I'm really am sorry.
