Just a bit more about that breastfeeding

The breastfeeding discussion is back on the agenda. It all started with a woman flying with KLM from San Francisco to Amsterdam who was tapped on the shoulder by the stewardess on duty with the question of whether she would cover her baby while feeding. KLM wants, understandably, all passengers to feel comfortable during a flight, and a dangling nipple is not on everyone's bingo card of things that make your flight more pleasant.

As a former breastfeeder (I did it with all my children), I can tell you that as a nursing woman, you have a slightly different approach to your breasts than the average non-nursing person. Just as you tend to drop a few more shells when you've just given birth, you're also a lot more comfortable pulling up your shirt and exposing your nipple. Your child needs to be fed after all, and if someone has a problem with the most beautiful and natural thing there is, too bad. I was in Aix-en Provence.
 

last week and remembered that I was sitting on a bench on the Cours Mirabeau. And when I was flipping through a dusty photo album, I saw myself with a baby in my arm and breast exposed somewhere along the way at a gas station.

At the same time, I thought about the boat trip with friends during that same vacation. They didn't have children yet, and I remember feeling a bit uncomfortable breastfeeding at that moment. A bit like sitting in a corner to pee, as in: very intimate and perhaps uncomfortable for the audience. Lemej To breastfeed or not to breastfeed in public, that remains the question. I am totally in favor of yes, because it is the best for mother and child and nothing to be sneaky about. But maybe the nursing shawls from.

are an idea for the lady from San Francisco. They hang like a curtain on a small rail around you, so your baby is not bothered by a blanket over the face, and you can enjoy your beautiful moment together, isolated from the world.
