Gen Y Embarrased to Breastfeed

[Jellyfish]

Just wanted to say that it IS okay to be nervous about public feeding -- I find public speaking makes me nervous, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with public speaking and it is the same for this. If your partner (or anyone reading this) wants to use a blanket or two tops or any other method then DO IT and don't feel ashamed. The important thing is that YOU (the breastfeeding mother) feel comfortable -- not the people watching or judging as they pass, not any other breastfeeding mothers who might feel like you are reinforcing negative connotations -- just focus on you and your baby!!

Thats what I'm talkin bout willis... regardless of what should be the norm for society with regards to BF (i believe that nobody should bat an eyelid, but they do, so this is why the Y feels embarrased). The focus should be on getting baby mother's milk if available.

Thanks to all for posting
