I would like to share a incident which I saw yesterday evening. A herd of street cows was grazing in the farm and a calf was drinking milk from its mom. Suddenly a lady farmer came and chase after the cows,all the cows started moving away expect the cow who was feeding. The lady started to hit the cow but she didn't move till her baby finishes it's feed. I felt very bad for that cow at same time a question reflected on my mind is it the same situation when I try to feed my baby in public??

Its a very important topic and also something which needs lot of awareness and attention . I brrasyfeed in public often though i don't like to showoff my boobs and i always try to use a wrap . But i totally get ot when there are times when baby is hot or not feeling uncomfortable due to wrap . Mother has all rights to feed the baby; anytime and anywhere . Its the responsibility of the onlookers , passerby to nit give a stare and look in other direction . Breastfeeding is completely natural and shouldn't be objectified whatsoever.
I also want to point out one more thing .if the lady farmer was hurting the cow , it's; our duty to question them .; They aren't; educated but we are .; Its our social responsibility to raise voice for the voiceless.;; If you are helpless then just take; a pic or a video; and you can directly email to meneka gandhi office or page ( check online or let me know i <u>can</u> share the; id ) <br>
The cow is also mother like us .; All lives matter .

I agree <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @63729b593f31520016a69b80 </b></span> ..It's high time people should consider it normal! I have now become okay with the fact that I'll breastfeed whenever my baby would ask for.Be it private or public.It's natural! There is nothing to hide..I remember one incident where I was trying to feed my baby and was struggling to cover up with a dupatta.My baby girl was crying profusely due to the discomfort of the dupatta and hunger.That was the day I decided.She asks for milk and there I am ! Don't care anymore about flashing my boob in public.Baby needs it and she is my priority..

Very nice topic.. I hv Breastfeed my baby in all public areas like airports, restaurants, flight, mall etc. Its a right of every mother nd baby. Though today people looks that through different aspects but only a mother know her baby needs. So we as a moms should not feel ashamed of dng so nd we should be proud of. Yes our privacy should also me maintained with this. One can always cover while feeding in public

I was always comfortable feeding my baby in public.. if people have problem they can go away from there.. how much I feed, till when I feed, where I feed is upto my baby and me . I will not keep my baby hungry just because few people think that it's not right place to feed...
