Reply #172: My problem with what you said

Your discomfort with public breastfeeding makes a certain amount of sense, but it also severely limits what a mother can do for the time she is bf-ing her child. I was pretty uncomfortable with the whole public breastfeeding thing (doing it, I mean) but that meant that I was never able to go out for more than an hour or so at a time. And when we needed to fly to see family, I had to swallow my embarrassment and nurse the kid there on the plane.
Personally, I think Americans - myself included - are way to hung up on our bodies.
But that's prolly a different discussion for a different time.
