    i fed my daughter until she was 2 and half shes never used a dummy or bottle she'd think it was funny to try rip my nipples off but it was worth it because no one else could be as close to her as me and no one else could give her the goodness that comes from me shes never been ill shes healthy and happy and very confident
    i breast fed in public because my hungry baby comes first i got lots of rude comments but i had alot of people came upto me to look at my daughter and didnt realise i was feeding her till i told em so just do whats best for baby

    dee from herts- i have breastfed two sons both with teeth, both who bit me - best advice i can give is soon as they bite, take them off, finnish the feed every single time they bite. they will realise that biting interrupts their meal and they stop. also they tend to bite when they are at the end of a feed or not particualrly hungry, so knowing when to xpect it also helps.

I FED ALL MY BABIES IN PUBLIC, WHILE SHOPPING, IN THE park. I JUST LAUGHED AT FOLK WHO MOVED AWAY FROM ME, R WHO COMPLAINED. WHEN WOMEN R PLASTERED IN PAPERS, MAGS, TV, NAKED, BARING THERE ESSENTIALS. BUT THATS OK THO, ITS FOR THE MEN, BABIES DonT MATTER..THERE HEALTH, WELL BEING..BREASTS IS BEST.. FOR THE BABY..
