I just have a point that I would like to put out there, a lot of people here are saying that women ONLY breastfeed their babies and while in public, if the baby starts crying they NEED to be fed there and then. Does that mean the mother has to be by her babies side up until they are over being breastfed? So for example if the mother had to go away, either to a funeral, back to work, or heaven forbid had to be taken into hospital for an illness, or had to travel overseas for whatever reason, what would happen then? The baby cannot possibly be breast fed there and then because the mother is away, and the father, or babysitter cannot do it! My friends mum had post-natal depression and hardly saw her baby for the first 6 months as she was SECTIONED in hospital? She couldn't breast feed!

And how about if the dad wants to take the baby out and it starts crying in public???
