Thank goodness things have changed since I was a young parent. Way back then it was simply taboo to breastfeed in public at all. Many new young mothers spent a lot of time at home if they wanted to breastfeed. But then again, breastfeeding was out of favor for quite a few years. Feeding from a bottle gave women freedom.
In today's world, luckily for the infants, breastfeeding is back in favor and along with it a host of convenient supplies for the new mother. There are special blouses and nursing bras and nursing pads. There are special privacy shields for the modest among us.
Breastfeeding is the healthy alternative, and I am glad to see it being accepted by our society at large. Much of the credit for that can be given to the public education programs of La Leche League.
How about you? Do you breastfeed in public?
About Me
Hi! My name is Denise R. and I am an experienced parent. I offer here my own view of what the average parent faces and how I think, with the knowledge that only hindsight can bring, these situations are best handled. Looking forward to hearing your ideas as well.
