Thread Name: BS: Breast feeding in public
Subject: RE: BS: Breast feeding in public
its hard to believe people are still upset about nursing in public
but sometimes it still comes up, there was a case last year of a woman being asked to leave a store here in BC because she was breastfeeding...
sidenote..

my first daughter breastfed up until 16months (by that time it was just once a day - in the mornings) and she stopped finally of her own choice.
My wife was a bit disappointed when that happened, but was glad to have breastfed as long as that, and that it was Annas choice.

now daughter number two who is 6 1/2 months, is a lovely 17-18lbs and radiant and healthy and its all mother milk. We are just introducing some solids although still not enough interests.

Im a bit jealous of my wifes ability to provide that comfort and nourishment, since I obviously cant do it. Once or twice we she did express some milk and I got to bottle feed her, but its different
and sometimes babies get a bit lazy about breastfeeding if they use the bottle as its a bit more work to breast feed.
