There is a HUGE stigma placed on breastfeeding in public spaces. A good question is where to breast feed outside of the home? Many changes in pediatrics since the '70's for sure. We need to support mothers who take the best choice for their babies! My wife breastfed our son for a year and he's QUITE healthy! (10lbs, 3oz - 3/15/03)
As a side note: The magazine Working Mother is a joke, more like CEO Woman With No Time For Being A Mom. Also, my wife just finished the book The Nanny Diaries, and it is sad to see inside track on how the rich "outsource" mothering.
You're telling me that you wouldn't entrust the lives of your children to the care of a flaky, potentially homicidal, British au pair?
Control freak.
This is true although I breast fed in public and never received any of the dirty looks or comments etc that you hear about. But then I was discreet. Most of the time it was at a booth in the local eatery. Feed the baby and he was quiet through our meal.
