This time it was ignorant teenagers rather than overzealous staff, but still, will they never learn?  What a pity those mcdonalds staff couldn’t call the police on the little bastards.

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.
