Did you breast feed? I did, I loved it and managed to carry it off for approx 6 to 9 months. The painful part is when the baby starts sucking and the milk filled the breast. Is it always a controversial subject though regarding feeding when outside your home.

I breastfed all three of mine and enjoyed it. It came very easily for me. For my first two I was the only one on the ward breastfeeding. That had changed by the time I had number three. I am not in the least bothered whether a woman chooses to breastfeed or not. It is a personal choice in a country like ours but probably less so in a country where clean, plentiful water to mix feeds is not so readily available. No woman should feel guilty either about breast or bottle feeding. It is the relationship you build with the child that is important.
