Thank you so much for sharing. I feed my son everywhere and anywhere we
are. Believe me he is with us everywhere we go. I get looks and I just
ignore them. My son is so content to nurse with me that it overshadows the
public idiots I may encounter. I hope he breastfeed until he is at least 3
years old. I will wat until he is ready to wean. Thanks again.
