Brandy and Monica, known for having a public feud in the past, recently visited the "Rickey Smiley Morning Show," where they disagreed over breastfeeding practices. The soulful singers displayed the same strong opinions that got them into heated discussions during their days of "The Boy Is Mine" fame.

The Two Eleven creator, who released a new Chris Brown-assisted song from the LP titled "Put It Down" last month, has a 9-year-old daughter, whom she nursed in public. Brandy was very expressive in her opinion about supporting public breastfeeding in places like parks "with a blanket over" the mother and child.

However, Monica, a mother of two sons, felt quite the opposite and wanted listeners to note that she was in favor of private practice.

Listen to Brandy and Monica's great breastfeeding debate here.

Breast feeding is the most natural thing in the world. I'm not a mother but I would never ever say one thing if a woman was breast feeding her baby with or without a blanket. Geez people it's a breast! get over it.

But a child should be weaned, whether on the bottle or the breast by the time it is 3 years old. That's just not the" norm" and it shouldn't be. The child begins to really know and understand what is going on and shouldn't be hanging on mommy's breast in his subconscious.

I agree with Brandy. Breastfeeding in public, discreetly done, is fine and is necessary. If the baby is hungry, feed it!

When it comes to breastfeeding, to each it's own, but not when the child is 3yr or older, now that's just nasty. I don't have any kids, but If I did and If I was breastfeeding, I would simply breastfeed in the home, and when I'm out I would just simply have bottles pre made with my brest milk already in them, and feed him or her that way. For me it's not complicated.
