And I'm really dismayed by the public perception (still) of BF. I must have been so fortunate, I don't think I've had a single negative comment or disapproving look in the total of 2 yrs that I breastfed my three little ones. And my neices (who were all bottlefed) became VERY educated rather quickly.

Am I the only one who BF on the loo? Baby was fussy, roared like a bull if taken off the boobie. I got desperate and ended up with him feeding and me .........ing. This in 1986. I was BF in public in 1976, and got the same mix of reactions. Nothing much has changed....Maureen
