I have been reading all of your comments and the breastfeeding topic is quite a sensitive, heated and polarizing one. I breastfed Bryn and would only choose that option for my baby. For me, it was the most bonding and healthy choice and having that beautiful experience brought me closer to my child. It was a very difficult challenge for me, but I stuck with it and was better for it. By the same token, I respect women's choices and it simply isn't for everyone. I don't impose my beliefs on others and I don't judge those choices.

I have met many women who have chosen to not breastfeed because they feel uncomfortable when they see women showing their breasts in public. Their perception is that if you choose this path that you will have to expose your breasts to other people. I would love for women to realize that you can make this process work for you without feeling pressure to conform to anyone else's standards. Frankly, I was a very inexperienced new mother with no role model in this area. I had no idea if I would breastfeed, I had no idea if I was breastfed,and I had no idea if it was right for me. It did intimidate me and I knew very little about it. At the hospital, I took all the classes they offered on breastfeeding and decided to go this route.

Once I realized that I could create my own path and make it work in my life, I felt liberated.

In my life, I opted to find a quiet place to feed my child. I thought it was a beautiful, intimate and private moment between myself and Bryn and I personally didn't feel comfortable doing it in front of other people outside of my home. Of course there were times when it wasn't convenient to find a quiet place, and on those occasions, I was more public about it. That was my choice. I think a woman feeding her child is a beautiful thing.

You, my fans know me. I will always say what I mean and mean what I say. You can ask me anything.
