I’m not sure if this is even a relevant point or not, but I feel the need to say it.

But when you are in the hospital after delivery and you choose to breastfeed you literally have a couple dozen nurses, doctors, and lactation specialists touching your breasts all day. Its very hard to get the hang of breastfeeding at first, so everyone is grabbing them and shoving them into the babies mouth trying to get them to latch on.

When you are breastfeeding, your breasts are not your own anymore. I walked around topless or braless constantly no matter who was over at the house. You get used to people seeing them because after that hospital stay, you just don’t care anymore. That may be one reason why women aren’t embarrassed or discreet in public. I’m all for being discreet about it in public… but that might be why some aren’t.

Whether you are offended by it or not, find it awkward or not, it’s a woman’s right to breastfeed her child in public. I agree that all situations aren't appropriate, but its going to happen. A woman legally has the right to do it.

If you don’t want to breastfeed, there is nothing wrong with bottle fed babies. My son ended up being bottle fed because I found breastfeeding to painful and uncomfortable(and I didn’t like milk squirting everywhere every time my b/f tried to touch them lol) But breastfeeding is highly recommended, so if a mother is breastfeeding don’t encourage the bottle.
