Ha! I have the same problem. Every time I aim a camera at Myles while he’s eating, he gets distracted.

It’s fine for women who are able to nurse, but not all are. I experienced a great deal of pressure from other women — especially the LaMaze teacher — not to give up when it was obvious that if I continued I would have starved my kid. Genetic predisposition. Not something I could help.
So there needs to be tolerance from and toward all. To nurse or not is a choice for most women and it needs to be respected as such. For some of us, there was no choice to be made & we should not be made to feel bad about ourselves or looked down upon. It was very demoralizing, esp. coming from other WOMEN.

“To nurse or not is a choice for most women and it needs to be respected as such”?? — What a stupid thing to say.
The so called ‘humanised milk’, cigarettes, fastfood, all things that are regarded as normal. Pushed into the market by smart advertising and media power. while nowadays on a large scale people try to battle cigarette companies and fastfood, some companies that lied their way into the market and changed society drastically, like the Nestle company are still left unchallenged. Because…? Saying things like JHS said are no good to anyone. Looking at breastfeeding stats, situation is very bad. breastfeeding never was a choice until 50 years ago. now we know breast is best, but how many women even care? To make matters worse, number of women having their breasts butchered for so-called cosmetic reasons before the issue of children even comes up, are still rising. Milk from the store, dinner from the microwave, caring for children also can be handed out by throwing money at it. Society is sick. Saying nursing is choice is not a helpful thing to say in present situation. Certainly not a natural ‘choice’. Babies come into this world completely innocent, they are not responsible for the world as it is today. Adults are. Children deserve the best care. Dont sell your childs health to companies. They certainly dont have your best interest in mind - solely profits. Dont think just because a company makes babyfood or pharmaceuticals they care about anyone, they only want to please stockholders, they couldnt care less about you or anyone else.
Great Breast Fest, fantastic. It should be played every commercial break on every channel worldwide!!

This is fabulous!! What a great site you have going here - thank you!!
And, to JHS, what? Where, on this webpage, is there anything knocking those who cannot nurse? It is, rather a defense of those who do and who are demoralized for feeding children with their/our boobs in public. It is necessary and powerful and beautiful. Read more carefully - support of breastfeeding is not automatically a critique of not breastfeeding.
I have been verbally attacked in a shopping mall AND in Target. The more stuff like this that is out there, but better!
