Indeed, I don't know why anybody whould get upset by breast feeding; maybe it's jealousy subliminated as anger.

maybe they thought you were a bit old for it.

Why do they get upset about so many things? They associate breasts with sex and ignore their primary purpose, which is why so many babies get fed formula. I remember a young woman on the same maternity ward as me weeping with the discomfort of engorged breasts but refusing to feed her baby, because it would be "too embarrassing".

Militant breastfeeders unite. How people can justify embarrassing women and forcing them into feeding the milk intended for baby cows instead of the food that's perfect for them defies belief.

And a very tender depiction, thanks Ellis.
