Oh Kerry, I've recently been to the UK and back (36 hrs door to door!!) but was unsuccessful in my searching for a baby breastfeeding anywhere...on the plane, on the ground. I wish I could have found one because I was itching for the opportunity to encourage someone...even "stalked" a mum with a crying baby in the Tower of London in the vain hope that she might sit down and breastfeed her...alas no...It's no wonder it's so hard for women to breastfeed in some places when they just don't get to actually see anyone else do it. But I did get to meet Heather WN in Birmingham! and another Lactnetter (LLL, forgotten your name sorry!) who doesn't post.

A couple of years back, a woman sitting across the aisle from me on a short international flight commented positively on the fact that I was breastfeeding my one-year-old daughter and later gave me a portion of her paper, the Independent, I think, and suggested I read a very strong, positive Op-Ed piece about breastfeeding. As we were getting off the airplane, I was complimenting my kids on how well they did, to which the woman said, "It's the breastfeeding!" *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET email list is powered by LISTSERV (R).
