Me and DD were shopping today and went for a bum change (her, not me
). We went into a parenting room and it was fabulous, it was clean had plenty of changing stations and microwaves/kettles for warming bottles and food. I noticed there were comfy chairs and also cubicles. Whilst changing DD a lady came in and started muttering under her breath about being "banished for breastfeeding", I smiled politely (big mistake) and she decided to go into a massive rant about how she thought it was awful that she was expected to breastfeed in a "cupboard", this lady then turned round to a young attendant and started being quite rude, the poor attendant just looked as if she was cry so I had to step in. I suggested to the lady that she could breastfeed wherever she wanted and infact pointed out that there were chairs within the main room as well as the cubicles, I also suggested that I found the cubicles very usefull as my DD is very easily distracted and not easy to breastfeed in public, she then completely changed and said "oh you breastfeed do you, arent people small minded about it" I said that my experience of breastfeeding in public had being very positive. I honestly felt that she wanted to make a big deal of the fact that she breastfeeds her baby and was looking for an argument when infact the facilities (IMO) were amazing if you wanted to use them. I am all for standing up for the right to breastfeed in public, but goodness me some people want to argue for the sake of it - Sorry rant over!!!
