Hi,
I’ve long since lost the worry about feeding in public, with one exception – Meadowhall. At one end, one woman was so affronted by me feeding my boy (newborn, he’s not 4 or anything) that she got up, and stood 10m away glaring at me, then sat back down next to me when I’d finished. At the other end of Meadowhall a man wanted to sit really close and watch (ew) which made me very uncomfortable. Anecdotally I’ve heard the Children’s Hospital isn’t a particularly welcoming place to feed either, but have no experience of that.

I’ve breastfed my two boys in numerous locations throughout Sheffield – I thought it would be worth telling you that the only place I felt very uncomfortable doing this was at my GPs (which was Porter Brook medical centre).

Not sure if this is the correct website to leave the feedback for breastfeeding awarness day in Winter Garden in Sheffield but I wanted to share my experience of attending it today 21/06/2011. I found it hard to socialise with any mums, not sure why, as I am friendly person but maybe of my foreign accent but it made me think about integration into this country. I work and contribute here just like any other citizien but it was strange day that all mums who were British would just ignore you even though I made my attempt to talk.
Anyway hope this will change in the future as we are all the same and my son is just like their children.

Thanks

Tina
