Breastfeeding in public is a hot topic that seems to push buttons on both sides of the debate. Some would say it's even hotter than the breastfeeding versus formula-feeding war! Apparently in Greece, it's such a hot topic that they have an entire day dedicated to breastfeeding in public! The big question is, which side of the debate is right? Is it just a natural act of feeding your baby or something indecent that others should be shielded from witnessing?

As if that weren't enough, she felt the need to 'cover up with every feed; feeding in public? 'It was never seen or heard of!' she recalls. She circumvented around her challenges by herself, no lactation consultant and no old wives' tales even.
