    Is public breastfeeding OK?

    Breast is Best, No Matter Where

     

     

    Before my first child was born, I decided to nurse her.  I nursed her until my second trimester of pregnancy with my second child.  She weaned herself.  Whenever we were out in public and she got hungry, I would take her in the bathroom with me and sit on the toilet to nurse her.

     

     

    Then, when my second child was born, it dawned on me- no one else eats their meals in the bathroom.  That's disgusting.  Quite frankly, I was disgusted with myself that I would be so nervous about other people seeing me nursing my infant that I would hide in a bathroom stall to feed her.

     

     

    When my second child was born, I decided to let her eat whenever and wherever the rest of us were eating.  I've nursed her just about every place you can think of- except a public toilet stall.

     

     

    I'm not an in-your-face kind of woman, whether I'm nursing my baby or not.  I try to be as discreet as possible, but I won't hide.
