One of the best days in my life was the day my son was born. When the baby is born the first things the doctors and nurses do is put the baby to mother's chest, so the baby can latch on and start to feed. Breast feeding is the most natural thing in the world but when it comes to breast feeding in public places, our society considers it the most disgusting thing or is ashamed of the act of breast feeding.

All the doctors recommend that a child should be breast fed for at least a year and strictly breast fed for at least six months. How can a woman feed her child when she has to go out side the house to run other errands without feeling guilty or ashamed. It seems as though during that time a woman should strictly stay at home so she can comfortably feed her child without having to feel some type of way.

Being a recent mother I've had the hardest time, because I feel like all I can do is stay at home, which I have done. Every time I take my son out for grocery shopping or just out and about in public I have to figure out how to feed him because he will not take bottle at all, and the only option we have left is to breast feed. The main issue I have is when I'm out and about there is no place to feed my son, besides a toilet stall.I will never understand the fact that men and even women can see females showing off their breasts, yet when the same woman is breast feeding her child people look at her with disgust.

Trying to find places to feed my son is the most difficult task when I'm out and about in public, because I will not feed my child in bathroom stalls or in hot cars. They should have proper places to feed the children. The government should make designated places, such as lounges or designated seated areas, where a mother can feed her child without feeling ashamed or being looked at by others with disgust for such a beautiful and natural moment between a mother her child.

Basically my whole rant is about that we as women should not have to sacrifice the care our children deserve. We should be able to feed our infants in public when the need be, without being given the looks of disgust and feeling ashamed. The bonding time we get with our child while feeding him/her is nothing to be ashamed about and it is not disgusting, it is the most natural and beautiful thing in this universe.
