This iReport is part of an assignment:
Is public breastfeeding OK? |
Get over it
My mom breastfed myself and my 4 siblings. I breastfed both my children until they were over a year old. They are healthier for it.
Can you imagine having your lunch in the bathroom? But that's what some people expect babies to do. That's what's disgusting.
The idea that women must hide to feed their children is tantamount to leaving them barefoot in the kitchen. We'd like to get out of there once in a while, thank you....
I will admit I'm probably gustier than most women, but I've breastfeed most everywhere. Restaurants, friend's couches, while shopping. I've even breastfed my son while we were walking through Home Depot for plumbing parts. It's a boob. So what?
Frankly, if your kids ask what I'm doing, I hope you are brave enough tell them the truth. That I'm feeding my child. End of story.
