Why Is Breastfeeding in Public Still so Taboo?

11. I think it just isn't all that common yet

Women abandoned breastfeeding for a very long time, and before that women who were pregnant or breastfeeding didn't leave the house a lot.

I'm a believer that the more moms breastfeed in public, the more "normal" it will seem to people, and the less shocking it will be. I breastfed my kids in public whenever and wherever. It might have shocked people a bit, but the more people see it, the less they'll think of it.

It feels somewhat better than when my 12-year-old was a baby. Or maybe that's wishful thinking.
