Roshan Doug - you are an ignorant, arrogant man (”Breastfeeding in public is all wrong”)
If I could figure out how to comment on this article, I would address my choice words there. As I am failing to do that, I just have to have my rant here.
Breastfeeding in public is not indiscreet. We are not flaunting our bodies nor exposing ourselves. We are feeding our hungry babies. Babies that need us nearby. Babies that don’t feed on a timetable and who don’t understand ‘later’. It is not appauling that we do this, it is natural.
Should we leave our precious babies with those useful baby sitters? Should we stay at home until our baby may no longer need a feed? No, we should get on with our lives. It is people like you that make women too nervous to feed in public, and who endanger the breastfeeding of some of the few women who continue. Well done you.
Now I shall go and feed my own baby, in the privacy of my home. But tomorrow I’ll make sure to do it somewhere nice and public, and think of you, you ignorant, arrogant man.

In case you want to contact him directly, as I would understand having read the article, here’s his website.

Rowan was looking well at the Post Office this morning btw.
I’ve tried taking my blinkers off, but I still can’t see that link to his site in the article, or on any immediate page linked to from the article.
I also can’t read his “site” as it’s all flash based, and my browser seems to have flash-phobia… but that’s a different matter.
I didn’t see you in the Post Office this morning; where were you hiding? You could have said hello….
I saw you sorting your stuff out as I walked in and recognised the little guy from photos. I was in a hurry to get my Euros and get home before Dean had to leave for work, and I didn’t want my first meeting with my nephew to be in the Post Office.
Nevermind about the site…after reading that disgusting article I Googled him and the info on the site I found (career history etc) suggested it was the same ‘Roshan Doug’ who wrote the article. There are contact details there if you can get past the flash.
