AMEN Lou!!!!

I breastfed both of my children and I will most definately be feeding "Little Mayhem" the same. I had no qualms about breastfeeding in public, in fact I had a sling style baby carrier that acted quite nicely as a cover while I breastfed. I was able to walk around with my baby in America's largest mall, while feeding her, and no one was the wiser.

When I was in university, my sociology class required us to write a paper on us doing something that was out of the social norm (without breaking the law, of course). I was still breastfeeding my 15 month old (The World Health Organization reccommends breastfeeding to two years old) So I chose to breastfeed in public and record peoples' reactions. One middle aged woman looked away in discust, however I got several nods of approval, and a few giggles from a group of pre-teen girls. I think that I had a very good expierience. I also got a high grade on my paper.

I would rather see moms breastfeeding in public, comfortable with their bodies, and comfortable in knowing that their babies are getting fed the best!
