I'm passionate about breastfeeding. I didn't know I would be before I came a mom, but I wanted to "try to make it a year" nursing my first. Well, that was almost 6 years ago, and we haven't found a reason to quit yet.
One of the biggest factors in successful breastfeeding is being comfortable nursing in public. Please watch and share this incredible video featuring moms nursing anywhere and everywhere from the Holistic Moms Network.
Moms, if it makes you more comfortable, and your baby less distracted, try a nursing cover. But if you and baby are comfortable without, go for it! If anyone is made uncomfortable, (Oh, how I love the comic strip Stone Soup) they can look elsewhere, or put a blanket over their own heads. :-) I can't find my favorite comic on this topic from Hathor, the Cow Goddess - maybe someone else can find the link!
Meanwhile, when you see a mom nursing her baby, give her a thumbs up or a smile. Let her know your support her right to care for her child anywhere, anytime.

I love this post- thank you!!! :) I have a nursing cover, but have only attempted it twice- baby is 4mo. now and HATES anything over her face (can't really blame her!), plus she's such a loud eater anyway that I figure there's no "hiding" it. :D
Beautiful video! Wonderful post! My 5th little one is 7 months now and HATES to be covered. Always has! Normally I get beautiful smiles when NIP. I love it!!!!
Oh! Today's Stone Soup is AWESOME!
