Sometimes i'd like to know who they survey for things like this.. no offence to anyone but is it party boys/girls who have no idea about babies past the idea of getting laid?
Is it career men/women who have spent their entire life at school or studying that don't even want to think about a baby until their in their 30's?
I'm GEN Y, most of our mothers group is GEN Y and ALL yes thats right ALL of us breastfed, some had to give it up within the first 6mths but we all tried for as long as possible.
I understand that not EVERYONE knows about breastfeeding and not everyone chooses to but do they seriously think that people aren't doing it because they are embarrassed?
I don't care where i am if my child is hungry i will feed her, the same as i did with DD1.
I use a muslin wrap tucked into my top/dress and down over DD's head to make sure everything is covered.
I've even breastfed in a busy restaurant while eating tea... who really cares, i'm not flashing anyone and i would never be embarrassed to do THE NATURAL THING.
I know men can feel a little funny about it, DP asked me once when i was at my cousins WHERE i breastfeed while i'm there.. i said on the couch (cousins wife had a baby 4 days b4 me), he said even with D there.. i was like yeah why, he's my cousin he's not staring at my (.)(.)...
It takes a bit of getting used to but you will realise people wont be ogling your partner, some people fo a double take cos they realise your doing something but they never actually stare... it's great your asking questions and everything though...
