Well, you are welcome Mylitta. But how do you know how my actions have helped/hindered others? Maybe seeing me feed put another woman off. Maybe people said negative things about me when I couldn't hear but another mother could and she stopped feeding in public from then on.
So it's nice you want to thank me and nice you are doing it in person, rather than a card that firstly gives me a name I do not desire (mum - I hate it and never will be "Mum": I am Mummy/Mamma and would rather Liebling called me by my name than used "Mum") and secondly would freak me out and is, in fact, causing me trouble sleeping. (I know, I need a life.)
If a mother told me that I'd helped HER then I'd be less freaked. It is nice to help people. But how do you know if I have helped anyone at all by feeding in public? You never saw me, so I couldn't have helped you in that respect.
However, if you mean by being all angry about these cards and pro-feeding in public is helping you, even though you've never seen me feed my child, then I am happy to help and thanks for letting me know.
(I did thank another mother who I never saw feeding in public: when Liebling was under a month old she saw me feeding in a mother's room and asked why I didn't use the cafe: because Liebling was on and off and distracted constantly at that point - but the fact that she encouraged me to feed in public was nice.)
