I used to think that women with their breasts out loud and proud in public breastfeeding were making a "statement" of some kind. 6 months ago yesterday I had my first child, and I can tell you that when he went from smiling and happy to screaming and crying with hunger from one second to the next, the last thing on my mind was whether someone saw my boob as I just tried to calm him and get him to latch well, make sure he was eating, positioning his head so he wouldn't get mad and refuse the breast, hold him wiggling around as my arms got more and more tired and sweat ran down my face. It is hard to do all of that under a nursing wrap!
