What you've said confirms my message - attitudes are changing but it is taking time.

20 years ago most of the grandmothers had breastfed and now most didn't.

50 years ago the poor breastfed and the rich didn't. Now, however, it is the rich (well educated) that are breastfeeding and the poor who aren't.

Think how this will change the attitudes towards breastfeeding in the next 20 years.

I wouldn't want to ask anyone to do something that they are embarrassed to do but if you feel comfortable then breastfeeding in public is not just for your baby NOW but in the future too.

And I totally agree that as the baby starts to move around and become distracted while feeding - it definitely gets more changing to do it in public.
