I am a mother of three who breastfed each child for two years. I breastfed anywhere and anytime that my children were hungry. And yet I NEVER exposed my breasts. There were many times that friends and/or strangers would look at me and or talk to me and yet not even know I was indeed breastfeeding. I live in Florida, where by law I can breastfeed in public. I agree that woman should be ale to breastfeed her baby ANYWHERE. I also know that there is no need to expose the breast while nursing. There are specially designed clothes for discrete nursing and there are ways to cover up so that the worl does not see the breast. I do not find it an unpleasant thing to see. I actually feel sad for little babies whose mom's chose to not breastfeed so that they are less tied to the baby and more freedom to come and go. How a mom cannot want to hold a child to her breast to feed him is beyond me and yet I understand that it a choice for everyone to make. Mothers who do not breastfeed there children do not love their children anyless than those who do. I am glad thati did and would never think of offering my baby formula when I have two breasts that work just fine. I also think that mom's who say they tried to breastfeed and quit after only days or weeks, didn;t try enough. Rarely does a mom not have enough milk for her baby. Ignorance, stress and lack of support or usually to blame.
