Have you ever gone 6 whole months without eating out once?

Also, women who are exclusively breastfeeding can't just hand the baby off to a babysitter or a family member if they want to go out. They have to stay with the baby so it can be fed when it is hungry.

Most babies eat every 2 hours. That doesn't really give much time to drive the baby to a family member, go to a restaurant to eat, and come back to feed the baby. If a mother with a baby wants to go out to eat or spend the day out on the town, why can't she?
No its not rediculous, yes your familys are in a different city, but surely you will have friends who can help out. I'm just saying I don't think its the place. Restaurants can get busy and crowded, I just don't think its the place. As I said before, you generally get into a routine with feeding, so you can feed before you go out?
