That's not to say it's always easy, despite this being my fourth time
feeding a
baby I'm still a little shy
feeding in public, I don't
mind feeding him
in a coffee shop or where people don't know me, but feel a bit self conscious
in front of some friends and family.
I think women are becoming more comfortable
in telling others that they are still nursing older
babies so hopefully there will be a shift
in attitudes but I have recently «lost» a few facebook followers after posting a status regarding full - term breastfeeding (I think they were most likely from a giveaway I did ages ago and not on the same page re: bf etc) Apart from that, I love telling Mums on the ward (I'm a bf peer supporter) I'm still
feeding as it opens their
mind to that possibility and I think I look pretty normal so it mostly doesn't freak them out My son is far too busy to nurse out and about and prefers juice so we've not nursed
in public (apart from support group) since he was 18 mths and that was as I had a blocked duct!
