People who are appalled clearly think of the breast as only sexual. That sickens me. That's what breasts were made for! To feed our babies. Ugh don't ever make anyone else make you feel otherwise, you go girl!

Dont be embarrassed what I did for my second son and thrid was if I knew we were going out to eat or anything around those lines I would pump a bottle for him that way we don't have to be uncomfortable but if we went to the mall or a theme park I would breastfeed their using a cover its not rude its nurturing your little one I give u props for breastfeeding most people I know don't do it

Breastfeeding is the healthiest solution for both you and baby. Tell them to shove it! Breastfeeding makes you a smart mommy!

Your boob is made for baby. Proudly be THAT type of mother, the type that wants the best chance for the health of your baby.

Breastfeeding is perfectly fine. You are not disrespecting anyone! I would rather breastfeed at a public table than in a dirty bathroom. What is your baby not supposed to eat? People need to be realistic. Now I'm upset for you. Your be a good mother any decision you make is a good one mom knows what and what not to do. It comes naturally.

Don't allow people to change how you feel. They don't have to look ! It's good for baby and I think you're strong to do that.

Don't worry about what others say. I am also excited to try out breastfeeding since I didn't try it with my son. My sister DoD it with both her boys and loved it. So if breastfeeding is what you really want to do then I say go for it. It's suppose to be healthier for children anyways
