She was at her brother's wedding, at a very central table in the middle of the hall and she was wearing a halter-neck dress which she simply pulled down, completely exposing herself to underneath her breast on one side. It looked very awkward, I thought, in this very posh setting. But no one told her to stop it even then, and I think I would even have defended her but she was being very very conspicuous. (I wonder how many people would agree/disagree with me on this one. Maybe I should do a poll.)Mwanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195788236766051950.post-74087724786338113482010-09-29T09:19:51.707+01:002010-09-29T09:19:51.707+01:00How crass.

Soooo annoying. Like you, I try to be discreet, not least because the slurping noises my babe makes are a little noisy in a public place. But when they have to eat they have to eat; should mothers just stay indoors until their babes are fully weaned?angelsandurchinsbloghttp://www.angelsandurchins.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195788236766051950.post-67957554866825439362010-09-27T14:52:38.269+01:002010-09-27T14:52:38.269+01:00Here, here momma!!!

We went to Hawaii in June and I very quickly had to learn to breastfeed in public or I would have been stuck in a hotel room, all alone, for a week! I have never had anyone say anything. But, if they did, I would tell them to put a blanket over thier head!! heheJennifer Rubynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195788236766051950.post-20754783656060042282010-09-26T17:20:44.177+01:002010-09-26T17:20:44.177+01:00Grrr.
