I never could really understand this. BF gave me a whole new freedom. Previously being a working person, having a baby who was bf meant that I was at home rather than working, I never had to think about going out, or plan in advance, I just took baby and breast (and a spare nappy and wipe in my handbag if I remembered), and went to museums, parks, visiting friends, shopping - anything, which I couldn't previously do! and then in the evenings if I wanted to go out (and I did) without him, just left him with a baby sitter (as usual), with a bottle of ebm. I always had an instant answer to a cranky baby/child bm.
