To me feeding whether bottle or breast is about passing on values and energies to my child. I want to do it in a place where I am focused on transferring those positive energies to my child and not the anxiety of who is watching me or what if someone can see something from somewhere. .
.
When I would see that little baby for whom the world was confined to nothing else but the comfort, smell and touch of the breast it made me feel special. It made me feel wanted. It’s magic when the howl, shrieks and cries all disappear when the baby just comes close to your chest. 
I was a nursing mom almost 10 years ago and I remember being the first one in office who would head to the bathroom to pump every 2 hours. Remember maternity leave back then was just 3 months and this was the 2008 Lehman crash, my company was downsizing and I didn’t want to lose my job. I resumed in 45 days and continued to nurse exclusively for 13 months after.

I remember pumping in the bathroom and all the men and the women would know, oh, Mansi’s walking down the aisle. She will now walk straight to the pantry, place two bottles in the refrigerator and at sharp 5.30 she will carry an insulated bag to the refrigerator and head home. 
I would step out even during important meetings after 2.30 mins because the discomfort would just make my mind numb. I had to just pump it out. Did it bother people, did they laugh, maybe? Did I care most definitely not? I truly believe in one line that I learnt from my mom, “ sabse bada rog, kya kahenge log.” When you stop paying heed it will start normalising things. Every woman in my office who got pregnant and returned back to work after did the same. Strong women don’t just do things, they pave ways for others too. 
Whether it was work, at a park, at a restaurant, on the multiple road trips I took, I’ve fed everywhere. Even more with my second one because I didn’t want to restrict anything for my older one. She didn’t have to confine her playtime to my feed schedules. 
#FreedomToFeed as an initiative is a brilliant idea f

Mom Appreciation Post :

For all the times we feed our babies.
For all the times we struggle to feed our babies.
For all the times we do what we have to do no matter where, what and whose watching.
For all the times we do this with little or no sleep.
For all the times we do this and more ❤

#breastfeeding is such a personal journey but yet so impersonal given the conditions,(more lack of them ). Luckily I had my bestie Nicole @naturesogood to learn from, who was cool about feeding her children anywhere anytime (even on her trips to India). And while I did that too I would be lying if I said that it was smooth and didn’t make me uncomfortable at times.
@nehadhupia  thank you for this initiative ! 
For all the pressure women deal with from bearing, carrying and raising children, the bare minimum is for us to have just basic facilities available in public places. 
Whether a mother wants to breastfeed, bottle feed, formula feed or just catch her breath and sit back, is best left to her. 
Incidentally my #breastpump was a lifesaver and I was so nervous about all things I heard on how bottle fed babies don’t have enough connection with the mother’s or then dont switch to breastfeeding. Happy to say luckily a mother child bond has NOTHING to do with this. Agastya was breastfed and bottle fed as per MY CONVENIENCE and i am the centre of his universe (for now).
Also big shout out to my #partnerincrime @aashish20  who set alarms to do the night shifts with Agastya (and also bravely faced my wrath  when the alarms woke me up)
