Maya, apart from my mum bf'ing my brother when I was 3, and a few (very few) random women feeding shopping centres, I'd never seen anyone bf before ds was born. I wish i'd been in the ABA and had a demo. I'd never seen anyone bf up close.

Ali hunny, I don't think you should feel guilty. Part of that world peace vision i was talking about before would include women feeding thw way their personal standards of modesty dictate Some people let it all hang out (in all situations, not just bf'ing) some don't. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

When ds was a newborn, dh's younger cousin (he was about 12 ) got told off by his mum for looking at me while I was bf'ing at their house. i was quite disgusted at her attitude actually. She made everyone feel uncomfortable- me and her son- when all he was doing was checking out the baby (which he couldn't take his eye off). It was such a pity- I wasn't comfortable feeding in public at first, but had felt comfortable doing it there at their house, until she had to go and impose her own issues and attitudes on a perfectly normal situation *sigh*
