I remember once I was out with my Aunt and my four month old son and I needed to nurse him so I sat down on a bench at the back of the store and started to nurse. Well, the woman shopkeeper was not happy at all, she did not want me there, she told me to go into the dressing room which wasn't a terrible idea but the fact that she was mad was so strange! Why would a woman be irritated by something so natural, necessary and recommended by doctors? I was stunned, that was my first and thankfully I'm pretty sure my last experience with outright rudeness. Luckily I don't remember (my son is now six) ever feeling uncomfortable because of a look or comment again, I think that was because I felt very confident in my decision to nurse. But right after my son was born I wouldn't nurse in front of anyone, not even my mom (my husband I would). But after awhile I could even nurse in front of my brother and other male relatives (covered up of course). Our society is very mixed up when it comes to women, *** and motherhood. Right after my son was born I was embarrased by the whole process of nursing & that's too bad that women can be ashamed of something our bodies are made to do. I nursed my son for fourteen months and I am so happy I did the benefits are inumerable (sp?) I remember my in-laws were the first ones who really made me get out and nurse in public without embarrasment. From then on whenever I needed to I would nurse my son. I learned quickly how to nurse discreetly, covered by a little cotton blanket, but anywhere I needed to, museums, restaurants, airplanes... I did. Don't let any ignorance on the part of some uniformed person keep you from doing what you feel is best for your baby. Also, mom's have to get out and about to keep their sanity so nursing in public is a must for that reason as well! It is ridiculous!

That's the only explanation I can come up with for how often people choose to get mad instead of looking or walking away (and not just in regards to breastfeeding, either).

Society has just taught them that its wrong, but I always ask them this question....What do you think people did before formula?
