We are due to have our first child in a little over a week. We have both decided that we want to give BF a go, no doubts about that. However, after watching that programme last night we began to talk about public BF etc. He commented that he always felt uncomfortable when his sis BF infront of him, even though you couldn't 'see' anything. I argued that he shouldn't feel uncomfortable as it is totally natural and why should she leave the room just because he might feel uncomfortable. This stemmed into a big argument about how he hopes I didn't have ideas about BF in front of friends or overly public places. I asked if he would have a problem with a mother bottlefeeding her child in a cafe because he was crying? I asked if he would rather I went to a smelly toilet to BF our child instead of not making a big deal and just feeding him discreetly at the table instead?
How can I convince my DH that it is unfair for him to expect me to leave the room/conversation to feed my child when I wouldn't do so if he was bottlefed.
I know there are a lot of threads on this subject due to that programme last night but now it is a personal issue for me and I am worried that my BF is going to create unecessary argument between us.
