We need to educate the younger women that breastfeeding is normal and is not something to be ashamed of." You are so right about this! Lucky you, you have a lot of photos breastfeeding your kids...

And I always say - it doesn't matter. Doesn't help that the breastfeeding room is always tucked away in some forsaken corner of the mall anyway. Who wants to walk to the other end of the mall with a crying baby?<br /><br />Thank you for this post!Eliza Santiago-Yponhttp://painterswife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285389572200026239.post-35515084133927838452011-07-20T10:47:46.331+08:002011-07-20T10:47:46.331+08:00I nurse my son everywhere too.

As soon as I see signs of hunger in my son, I find the nearest available chair and we breastfeed. I find that people don't really leer (a concern that I had early on), most just glance and then look away. Some even ask questions. More often that not, I don't even use nursing covers. You can nurse discreetly even with just your baby's bib or lampin.<br /><br />Thank you for your post. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that more moms take your cue and breastfeed in public as well.lc kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495598277598193282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285389572200026239.post-10017907764519452602011-07-20T10:33:28.583+08:002011-07-20T10:33:28.583+08:00wow! seeing your photos breastfeeding in just abou...wow! seeing your photos breastfeeding in just about anywhere... i'm amazed. i tried it, i find it hard. i had the nursing cover and the boncho. the boncho seemed small for me. i don't know why. maybe because i'm big. but looking at other women wear them makes me wonder what seemed so difficult with it.<br /><br />i'm expecting my third and i don't know whether to breastfeed longer or not breastfeed at all. i'm working. i used to pump every 3-4 hours with my second child and it was difficult for me at work and at home. with the third baby coming next month, i still haven't decided to breastfeed or not. <br /><br />reading your post made me think harder. thank you so much. will be following your blog from now on.ambquezadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079939384150422348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285389572200026239.post-5218777471602013242011-07-20T10:26:50.066+08:002011-07-20T10:26:50.066+08:00Hi, Fritzie!

And I like breastfeeding in public, when I need to, because it's convenient AND it needs to be seen so that people can get it into their psyche that "breast is best." <br /><br />Were you at the BW2 meet? I think I saw you but didn't know who you were! Your face is so familiar!<br /><br />And I can see you BF-ing there in Mary Grace Cafe in Trinoma, haha! I was just there yesterday, coincidentally, breastfeeding, too! :)<br /><br />MartineMartine | Daintymom.comhttp://daintymom.comnoreply@blogger.com
