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.

Wendy's post reminds me of very positive experiences I have had
breastfeeding on short
and long flights.

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!"
