This is a part poll/part rant thread!
Just wondering how many young breastfeeders we have here on mumsnet? I am 20 and am breastfeeding my 12week ds and feeling pressure from people my own age re breastfeeding. Most have been very supportive (in particular my mum and dad and dp) but couple of girls I thought were mates (especially SIL) have been really hurtful about it. Know it shouldnt bother me but its really winding me up now. I would have thought the people of my generation would have a more positive, modern and informed attitude to breastfeeding but clearly not! How did any of you other young mums deal with anti breastfeeding peer pressure. Am not gonna give up because of it but really in need of some armour!
