I am so sad that some of you have received such negative attitudes (particularly from women and mothers!).
Perhaps they need reminding that it is illegal to ask a bfing mother to go somewhere else or not to bf in public? Unfortunately it's a sign that we still don't accept it's the normal way to feed our babies.
Cheeky Monkey - I love your comment, why shouldn't a baby eat where everybody else is?
I felt a bit funny about bfing in public, for about 2 weeks. Then I didn't care. I have bf wherever I was when DD wanted a bf. Including our friends' wedding when she was 2 1/2. Mostly we do not bf in public now, since she only has 2 bfs - first thing in the morning and last thing at night - and will skip the latter if we're out somewhere interesting. I have yet to receive a comment when I'm publicly bfing though, so I guess there's hope!
