Jen, that image reminds me of bfing DS2 in a local village in Vanuatu. All the local women gathered around me and one of them lifted my T-shirt away from DS's head. I couldn't communicate verbally with these women but I felt like a part of their community - their support was palpable and the simple act of bfing was viewed as the natural part of life that it is. I am still not sure why she lifted the T-shirt - whether it was to see DS better or to show me that I don't have to hide what I'm doing - I'm not sure. But either way that is my favourite bfing experience. Bfing in public should always be like that!!
Thank you so much Barb and Jen,
I was pointed in the direction of this article just when i needed it the most.
I now know its ok for lachlan and I to continue our breastfeeding journey.
