a nursing mum should be able to feed her baby as and when is necessary and without conviction, if a child is hungry, then feed the child.

mums should do what they feel comfortable with,as and when,if a baby is hungry, then feed it,if an adult is hungry they go to a cafe,no questions asked!

breastfeeding is a personal decision..no one needs feel pressured by it, when I had my son I breastfed but if I went out anywhere I took a bottle for him - it wasnt that I was embarrassed to do this in public it was to save other people feeling awkward - for a "forward" nation in some areas we are still definately backwards lol
