    Sorry I think I agree with Matryoshka (but I gotta spread the love hun!).

    I wouldn't be creeped out - I would definitely feel encouraged, but as I quit BFing to help cope with my depression I have bottle fed as well and I would feel very hurt. People don't know anything about other people and their circumstances, KWIM?

    Breastfeeding welcome here signs would be much more positive - I guess we dont see it as a necessity as it is discrimination not to 'welcome' it - but it would be a nice reminder for us when we are feeling a bit on show I suppose.

    I think they are grat! I am going to print them out and give them to women Given I am likely to have my two boys in tow while out shopping, I suspect the feeding woman would take it as encouragement from a fellow-BF'er than anything creepy....

    What a gorgeous idea! May prefer the ABA ones if they're worded better but how lovely! There's so much negativity on the subject now that it would be nice to see something so positve for a change! Would definitely put a smile on my dial
