    I don't think I've ever really had negative comments. After a while everyone just assumes you must have stopped by now I think
    Anyone who thinks it's wrong or whatever is just revealing their own inner weirdness anyway. Babies and toddlers like breastfeeding - that's just normal.

    Are you in the ABA? That's the best place to feel good about breastfeeding at any age.

    I've never had any issues. Either I know the right people, or its just where I live (small town). I've had a few people surprised this big, cute lump I have here is breastfed though. Babies get fat on breastmilk too, sheesh!

    I think I made the yellow pages guy a touch squeamish when I was trying to book an ad yesterday and the baby got hungry. He didn't know where to look lol, but he didn't say anything. Most other (male) professionals I've breastfed in front of either smile indulgently (probably the ones with kids themselves) or don't bat an eyelid.

    Breastfeeding is great for lazy people. They should advertise that more than it being 'best'.
