Should Women Breastfeed in Public?
The question should be: should abies eat in public
Well, ofcourse babies should eat in public, when that is where they are at the moment hunger knocks. Every one eats in public (and often in ways that are offending for sais public) and babies really do need the food they ask for. Never in a human lifetime will he grow faster and develope more than in these early years. That needs food, lots of it, and frequent.
So should mothers breastfeed in public? Sure, mothers duty is to feed the baby when he needs food. Breastfeeding is the food the child needs; alternatives are barely reaching the bare minimum of nutritional needs and non of the other nurturing breastfeeding offers.
