I started weaning only when my baby was six months old. During his fourth month, I had a long trip and had to wait in a station for about two hours. After about an hour, in the station, my son started to cry. I knew he was hungry, and though I had to wait there for another hour, what should have I done? I fed the baby in public because I didn’t want to make him cry in hunger. Luckily no one asked me to stop.
However, there are a lot of cases where mothers were verbally attacked and accused or asked to stop feeding her baby on public. No mother can give deaf ear to her baby when s/he is begging for food and the food is already on the plate. This is the reason why I liked this story and wanted to post it.
