Breast feeding in public

 I believe that breast feeding is a wonderful thing. How ever I feel that women should be discreet about it. There is no reason to have both breast exposed at the same time. I do not feel that breast feeding should be behind closed doors. Just cover up some.

I am sorry!

Quote From: twinsmom14

If you have twins, triplets or other multiples, there is a reason to expose both breasts at one time. My twin sons always wanted to eat at the same time. As many others on this message board I was discreet even feeding both. I went to another room...the women's bathroom at our church had a lounge area with armchairs and a couch or if I was at someone else's home, I went to another room of their choosing. But if in the mail, I found a bench and covered as much as possible. Those who think it wrong to breastfeed in public have never tried to rush out of the mall, get two babies in their car-seats and drove home in traffic all with two babies screaming in their ears. Many of them would change their minds had they lived my life, until then, their opinion is just that...their opinion.

I am truly sorry! I didn't even think about the multiple birth situation. My  opinion was based on breast feeding only one child. Of coarse you would have to breast feed both. I breast feed my two children so I am not opposed to it in public, I was discreet about it. No one should have to go out to their car at the mall with screaming babies, just cover up the best that one can.This is just my opinion. Best wishes with your twins!
