Get over it people.

The cynic in me says he’s doing it to be invited on to Woman’s Hour (as he has done before) just to get air time. I never had one complaint from anyone when I breastfed my two and that was in the eighties and nineties. In fact, I was complimented by cabin crew for the best behaved baby on a flight!!! I swear some people have regressed!!!

It frightens me that people take him seriously and that there’s any remote possibility that he might have some influence on the running of the country. That idiots like him can be partly responsible for mothers feeling self-conscious about doing the most natural thing in the world makes me furious. I agree, I hope my daughter doesn’t have to put up with any of this nonsense in the future.

I know exactly how you feel because I was the same with my first daughter. I planned to express and do the bottle thing in public too – but my baby would never take a bottle so I didn’t have a choice! This time around I just don’t have time for constant expressing and, to be honest, it’s such a faff I’m too lazy! x

Seems that if your baby is nosy and bobs off the boob for a look around then you’d be guilty of “ostentatious breastfeeding”. As if feeding your baby is an attention-seeking activity. Every mum I know would rather just get on with it without an audience – myself included!

After three children and four and a bit years of nursing I clearly have no shame and I’m entirely unselfconscious about it but even then I draw the line at nipple tassels and can can dancing on the tables – though I think my son might be trying out the can can dancing he’s such a wriggler. I’ve fed my babies when they need feeding and I’m pretty sure you’d have to really look and know what you were looking for to be certain that I wasn’t just giving them a cuddle – I’d love to know whether they thought that was ostentatious!

Fri, 05 Dec 2014 22:40:42 +0000http://www.mothersalwaysright.com/?p=7617#comment-262878I have been freaking out for months about the “breasfeeding in public” thing to such an extent that I actually think I’ll need to express because I’ll feel too self conscious – reading stupid remarks from, arguably two of the biggest tits alive (Farage + Kim) just compounds the issue and makes first time mums who want to try feel even worse about it!

I never did master the “in public” thing as I think I was so stressed about it, my kids would sense something was up and bob off for a good look around, thus exposing boobage… which handily rhymes with Farage… AND Tosspot. Oh no… wait?! *checks rhyming dictionary
