    I breastfed my baby for the first twelve months,although discreetly,but wasnt aware of anyone being embarrassed at all.

    this should not be a stressful time for either mother or baby, it is the most natural thing in the world,and I sympathise with any mum who for whatever reason,is unable to breastfeed.It is also a time for bonding.

    it should be a happy time for both mother and baby,nothing else should matter as long as they are both content.
