I see where you're coming from, there's an argument to be made for each side I guess, the adverts I would assume are trying to normalise breastfeeding but perhaps missing the point sometimes that a woman actually just needs to know she can breastfeed quickly, easily and discreetly in public. Thanks for your thoughts and experience on the topic.:)Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122147186123440522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583474307980502277.post-64498586565977081762011-02-09T10:38:59.617-08:002011-02-09T10:38:59.617-08:00Hope you don't mind me chipping in here, my ki...Hope you don't mind me chipping in here, my kids are now all teenagers (or older), so not exactly babes in arms! But I did exclusively breastfeed all five, for nine months to a year apiece, so I do have a lot of experience in this matter. It seems to me that a lot of mothers-to-be are influenced by adverts which show breastfeeding mothers virtually stripped to the waist, also magazine articles on breastfeeding tend to show lots more boob than is necessary in real life. I just used to wear jumpers and shove child's head up and onto boob (except in very hot summers, where I wore a T shirt and did the same). No skin revealing necessary (which, given the fact I've had five, was probably a good thing, come the last one!) I think, when expectant mothers are considering their options as to feeding, it ought to be pointed out that breastfeeding doesn't mean that anyone has to see anything. I often fed sitting next to people who didn't even realised what was going on!Jane Loveringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393411255730345765noreply@blogger.com
