Travelling With A Baby
Sir, —In the midst of a good article about travelling with a baby, Daphne Harriford makes the startling statement, “If you normally feed the baby yourself you may find it more convenient to bottle feed. . . .” One of the joys of breast-feeding is the ease with which travelling can be undertaken. No worries about heating bottles, or the milk becoming “a breeding place for germs.” No need to stop the car to prepare the milk mixture or even to warm a bottle. Breast-feeding is the most natural and easy way to feed a baby, and yet Daphne Harriford suggests it may be more convenient to bottlefeed. Certainly for some obscure reasons many people think it “rude” (whatever that may mean) to breast feed a baby in a public place, but there is no reason why the baby cannot be fed while travelling, be it by car, bus, train or plane, in a discreet manner and with the least inconvenience to anyone.— Yours, etc., NEDRA J. JOHNSON. July 29, 1966.
