Nellie, well if breastfeeding is for poorer people, we must have been pretty poor,[ although truth be told I don"t think that was possibly the case, little strapped maybe ]
I breastfed 3 children all under the age of two years, two of which were twins so I had a child at each breast.
I am just of the opinion that women who go into Claridges [which is pretty expensive I believe, never been there myself] would not be inclined to breastfeed , as not everyone wants to see breastfeeding, natural or not
. ,but as I have said twice what do I know.
Don"t always read things into what people say, sometimes remarks are perfectly harmless.
Lastly it occurs to me was the woman herself trying to make some kind of point.
Good point Roses
Soutra , I think that was a slightly fatuous point you know full well that would never happen.
This has been raised before and am not sure why folk get hot under the collar about breast feeding in public.
