Not the case at all, my babies fed every 45 minutes for the first several months so if I'd stayed at home to nurse them, I would have never gone out at all till they were about 6 months old. By one year old they'd only reduced it to every hour and a half. No one asks a bottle feeding mother to go somewhere private to feed their baby so why should a breast feeding mother be asked to go somewhere private? I personally find bottle feeding mothers offensive but try to remind myself that there might be a medical reason, like having had breast cancer or something. It's still really upsetting to me to see babies being given cow milk. If more women just fed their baby when he needs it, even when in public, then people soon wouldn't think anything about it at all. A lot of people don't breast feed at all because they're worried about other people's reactions. I was REALLY embarrassed the first few times I did it so it certainly wasn't for show, but in the end I got to realise my baby was more importance than other people's opinions.
