Thread Name: BS: Breastfeeding In Public
Subject: RE: BS: Breastfeeding In Public
Years ago I was at a concert of two very famous singers, whom I won't name. I was seated beside the wife of a casual friend, who was on stage playing back up to them. This lady carried in her arms their recently born child. When the child began to fuss she quickly placed him at her breast. Sitting next to her I could not help but notice, and I will admit that it made me feel uncomfortable. However the baby quieted and I closed my eyes in respect and concentrated on the music. Quickly I realized that if I had any problem it was mine, not hers, and I was thankful to continue hearing a long anticipated performance. If the baby was soothed by both the breast and the music how dare I impose my discomfort on them on them!
