breast feeding in Florence-lovely sight

[womanofdulwich]

How lovely it was, when going round an art gallery in Florence, to see the security guard in one room give up his seat to a woman to breastfeed. She was there quietly feeding away- and it was lovely to see- w, no need to hide in a corner of the room or the toilets. Of course there were many breasts on the walls anyway, but it was just so lovely.:)

That's lovely. I had my daughter in Italy and had a very positive experience breastfeeding there. People there are generally not at all prudish about it or embarrassed by it. I got lots of curious admirers and comments such as "oh, isn't she sucking well" :)) I remember sitting feeding her on a ruin at Paestum, very atmospheric. However I must say that second time round with baby in Dulwich I have had an equally positive experience - I think it is as much down to one's own lack of inhibition as the reaction of those around you.
