Its not at all common after 6 weeks to 3 months. Very very different to Australia. And although I dont mind whipping out the boob, I dont think I'd be doing it in Saudi either! I still occasionally feed Jasper in public but I pretty much try to avoid it now. Its too cold for starters :) I think I’ve only seen two babies older than about 5 months breastfeeding here in France. Its not at all common after 6 weeks to 3 months.

My pediatrician is so misinformed about breastfeeding it's shocking. She thinks Im a 'miss know it all' and so our relationship is already on rocky ground. I keep having to tell her things though because her only reference seems to be bottle fed babies. The middle and upper middle classes here do not breastfeed...shock! And I have been trying to fit miss sushi under my shirt and under blankets in all the restaurants in town. People are so intrigued. I don't think it's shock or disgust. People here just don't breastfeed. They never see it so they can't figure why I'm stuffing this huge baby under my shirt! I am going to write next about this.
