Sat in my local tesco cafe sipping my large decaff cappuccino and feeding my 9 week old son William.. looking up i notice the elderly couple sat at the next table and wait with baited breath as the lady rises to come over to me.. expecting some rude comment or to be told to put my breast away, the right one.. Williams favorite! Instead the lady.. who introduced herself as Rose complimented me firstly on what a beautiful boy i had produced.. i have to say i whole heartedly agree! Secondly she praised me saying its so rare a thing nowadays to see a breastfeeding mother, especially out in public and how the 'norm' now is to use formula.. by no means am i against formula or bottle feeders but it just made me a little sad to think that what comes so natural to me isnt the most natural to the majority.. she said she had breastfed all her children, as have i and that i was a credit to my son.. made my heart swell a little 😍
