    I bottle fed both my kids. Tried breast feeding my daughter. She'd feed on one side, then when I swapped her to the other side she fell asleep and wouldn't wake up and feed again I gave up after a couple of weeks.

    Bottle fed son from day one. I preferred bottle feeding. Doesn't bother me if I see a Mum breastfeeding her baby in public at all. It's a perfectly natural thing to do.

    I nursed my son until he self weaned at 10 1/2 months. Very sad day.

    I have no issues with it. It is natural and best for the baby. I think women need to support whatever feeding choice we make for our children.

    I fed in public and never had a negative comment made to me. It can be done discretely.

    I am not at all offended when I see someone breastfeeding, that is what breasts are for.

    I was not able to breastfeed my three boys due to medications I had to take as a result of birthing complications.

    What amazes me is how some people can be openly rude to a mom doing what is natural, feeding her baby, and yet the media loves to show young girls in skimpy clothing.

    I find what works best for baby and mom is the way to go.

    Well here in EnZed its a pretty much accepted thing.

    Women tend to be discreet about it, but most have no qualms about unbuttoning and feeding in public and we have rooms dotted all around the country for women who don't wish to feed in public.

    And the "public" has long accepted this and nobody (to my knowledge) complains about it (well, I don't see/hear anything in papers, tv or on radio)


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
