Oh, she's fab.

Some of the comments made me really angry.
Preaching to the converted I know. Does America have more of a problem with bf in public than we do?

Cascara · 10/06/2007 11:17

I used to hang out on American parenting groups when we were going to move back and so I would say in a lot of places they definitely have more issues than we do. But it's a big country so not fair to generalise and areas have passed laws which say it's legal for a woman to breastfeed anywhere.

I saw a mum feeding in costa the other day and she had a muslin cloth over her shoulder, baby and boob (in a nice subtle way, not a ashamed way!) and it seemed quite sweet.

Gd idea i guess if you are a little self consious?

Malaleche · 10/06/2007 11:42

i do that if i think people are going to mind or if its a very crowded public place or if dd2 is getting distracted....

If you click on the thumbnail pics below the mg picture they dont have her boob blurred out for some reason - they are really lovely pics I think - saw them last week and was really pleased to see them.

@ the Denise Richards comments! Those kids have been through a lot haven't they (up n down parents relationships etc), just as some "normal" kids do - if she wants her thumb and a blanky then why shouldn't she?!?!!?

Can't believe I've just looked at that again
"Uh, breast pumps do exist for a REASON you know"
Is that reason to spare the blushes of the civilised masses?
