Is there anywhere you feel it is completely inappropriate to nurse in public?

But, of course I know the breastmilk storage guidelines.
Do you consider making a mother of an infant who is eating the biologically normal and recommended nutrition mean for him uncomfortable to be "good manners"?

Well, you (or anyone else) shouldn't use ebm that has been out that long.
Cows milk doesn't either.
I agree, but at the same time, I've seen FF who feel and appear to be very attached and well-bonded to their infants. (I've also seen the opposite.)
I've really wrestled with this because when I compare my dd's bf experience to my friend's children's ff experience, they are completely different. It's even more pronounced when you compare year two, three, etc. It's hard for me to fathom that these children will end up equally secure, trusting and well-adjusted when my dd has had *significantly* more one-on-one time. If you throw co-sleeping into the mix and the fact that I never let my dd cry (when she was an infant), it feels even more pronounced.
But, we just don't know because I don't think there is adequate, if any, research. Intuitively, it seems like there would be a big difference. But, IRL, sometimes I see differeneces and other times I don't.
