Breastfeeding in public

[Tryharder]

Had a really interesting conversation with the nurse at my local health clinic the other. It all stemmed from her offering me the use of a chair stuck away at the end of the corridor to bf DS2. I said no thanks because I was happy to bf him in the waiting room as there are some comfy sofas in there. She said, oh, because a lot of mums dont like to bf in public.

Anyway,we were talking about bf in public and we concluded that for some reason amd in our experience, young attractive mums with great bodies and nice perky boobs are often reluctant to bf in public whereas older, fatter mums like myself with shall we say, less perky boobs are quite happy to whip them out in restaurants/supermarkets/park benches (gives the lads a treat eh? )

So what does everyone else think? I do not mind bf in public (I even bf on a bench on my very busy local high street the other day)but would not sunbathe topless. Whereas my sister in law's niece who's 19 refuses to bf in front of anyone even other females but is quite happy to sunbathe topless. It's a funny old world isnt it?

I dunno
I've got no hang ups and am tall, slim and have big tits.
I think it would be great to see more attractive toned young women b/feeding. It's still got a Jesus sandal hairy calved image which is irritating.

I'm fairly young - I think (26) - wouldn't dream of going topless under any circumstances really, but will happily bf in public. I've never been particularly happy or confident about my body but pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding have made me feel more confident and proud of my body - whatever it looks like!
