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

Yes, I understand & am fully aware it isn't necessary. What I said was it is fact, I just wouldn't, couldn't do it. I'd have to put it in a cooler!
That was my point :o)
I disagree. The *woman* may still have issues bonding, but at least she is forced to have a lot of contact with the baby and the *baby* can feel secure. This is the most important thing. I think bfing can help promote maternal feelings given its hormonal nature. It probably can't "cure" a woman who isn't maternal (I think therapy is probably best there), but it's probably better than ff.
I have a friend who has anxiety and BIG TIME mothering issues. Her infants spend most of their time in carseats, bouncy seats, strollers and cribs. If she bf, at least they would be held more. Not surprising, she has a rigid, schedule for ff and her dd frequently cries while waiting to be fed. I've had to distance myself from her lately because it is so hard for me to watch this baby suffer. Do you see how bfing could benefit this child?
About a year ago I was talking to a lactation consultant had just quit her job at a store/support center for new and expecting moms. She got burnt out because, to quote her: "I just can't teach these moms how to be mothers". She thinks this is a big problem in our scoiety. It got to be too much for her. I don't know what my point was here, but for some reason this topic reminded me of our conversation.
Gee Whiz! A baby spending most of its time in car seats, bouncy chairs, strollers, the baby bed. UGH! Yuck! That just isn't my way of being MOMMY! Rigid schedules? Whew. I don't even have rigid schedules for my 8 year old.
I can see why you have distanced yourself from this friendship. It is plain & clear.
I never knew that some states allow raw milk.
I don't see those quotes as a bad thing for anyone.
