On the Other Hand - Support

I must pause for a moment and say that my experiences nursing in public have been quite happy, and I think I'm very lucky in this, since I am someone who retreats from my family to breast feed (see the lament about the lackadaisical and distracted eater that Felix is, below).

In an effort to encourage establishments to appreciate nursing mothers, I'm starting to compile a list of places to recommend. Here's the first:

About two months after Felix was born, I staggered into the wonderful East Village shop Jill Anderson in search of something on sale that would accommodate my new cup size and not only had the folks there road-tested all of their dresses to see which ones would be most nursing-friendly, they let me go in the back to feed a super-cranky Felix (it is a small store), and they provided a little snack for my ever-hungry terrier. So there is my first pick of a great store that celebrated nursing women and makes them feel great.

Please feel free to let me know of any other happy experiences you've had.

I've never experienced any resistance to nursing in public. Or maybe I just don't give a damn.

Or maybe its that most of my public nursing takes place in Park Slope!
