I've breastfeed four 'standing' babies and, nearly, lost my sanity making sure that our fifth, born preemie, would also be a breastfeed baby. <br /><br />Quite the refreshing post, Cynthia.

After too many years of formula reigning, people are finally realizing that the natural way is (in most cases) healthier for the child and not at all improper.

She should feel comfortable in their midst to do what is so natural. How can a mother consider breastfeeding in public when her own family doesn't endorse it?
