in the us breastfeeding in public is illegal (except maybe in ny?) personally, i do see breastfeeding as an intimate time, but i don't see it as a time that necessitates seclusion. babies eat a lot of milk at frequent intervals, and oftentimes it's a huge inconvenience not to be able to breastfeed where u are
also personally, i choose not to breastfeed publicly because of the attitude the people around me take toward breasts. my baby likes to spend much of her time looking around, which makes for a lot of exposure time. i am completely comfortable being exposed in front of comfortable people, but don't wanna bare my goods in front of people with adolescent attitudes
so i could maybe get away with illegally breastfeeding, but i choose not to in these surroundings
