Hmmm - that's only if your baby will drink from a bottle/cup! Fought with Archie for ages to do so and he never did! Only just managed to get him to drink water from a beaker.

I will come down and take your friend out Jopsy, most people don't even realise you are feeding in public they think you are just cuddling your baby.

Although I have to say being a hermit appeals to me most of the time

I was a bit shy about b/f public at first, but now I don't care.  I'm sure I've offended scores of diners by b/f at the table as well.  It's their problem, not mine if they find it offensive.  You see topless women all over the media.  Breast feeding is the most natural thing in the world.  I hate using bottles on my LOs - personal choice.

BIG UP FOR BREAST FEEDING MUMS!!!

I had the laugh the other day on the beach.  There were a few topless ladies, and there's me struggling to latch LO on with my bikini on.  I should've just got 'em out like they did, but I bet they would've commented on me feeding in public!

  It's a funny ole world!

I bf anywhere and everywhere and if I have offended anyone they havent said. I refuse to go and sit in a corner, I dont see why I should to be honest.

Actually the only comments I have had have been a couple of people commenting on how nice it is to see someone feeding themselves and more people should do it.
