i agree with the artical - that most people my age are "thingy" about breast feeding. im 20, and i tried bf-ing my DS for the first 8 weeks, any where any time. DH was very, very supportive of this. if any one looked i'd glare back at them. with the next bubba, i'll squirt milk at them - they wanna look then they can cop an "eye full"
people my age (gen y i'm guessing ) it seems have been bought up with boobies = sex. yep, that simple. i think that because of that, they dont want to 'share' their boobies - in the giving for food sense, KWIM? they also dont want to be...how do i put this. restricted with bfing - as in they cant go out becuase they have the milk, yes expressing is a way around this, but that takes time. (i'm trying not to offend any one here too!) they see FF = freedom (i FF my DS so i know its not..) i think maybe when they do sex ed in schools they need to talk OPENLY and HONESTLY about breast feeding...well theres my 2cents
edit: i forgot to say a friend of DH's his DW is happy to Bf but HATES seeing other women do it. so i warned her - your in my house, if my baby needs food, my boobie will be out and about dont like dont look
