What did you do to make your kid a "super smiley baby"? This is the most asked question that I have come across and here is the answer.
Well, I breastfeed him and do not let him cry. More crying make them fussy and cranky because they do.not understand what is meant by,"wait! Mama is preparing bottle feed" or "wait! Its not proper to breastfeed in public". I listen to him very closely and do not wait for a fraction of second to provide him with food when he is hungry. And this is the very reason I choose breastfeeding because mother's body is beautifully synchronized with baby's little stomach. I stop bieng shy of breastfeeding in public when at a wedding my son refused to accept bottle feed and I had to choose among bieng shy, reserve my fake pride and let the little one cry, or feed him at once so I choose the latter. Seeing him had his tummy full made me feel proud more than ever. My self esteem was raised.
When he is hungry i feed him without bieng concious of,"what if somebody sees me?" And obviously I am not doing a wrong deed like lying,steeling,bullying...it's just a breastfeeding.
If you are a man reading this: never stare and make her uncomfortable if a woman is for some reason feeding a baby in public.
If you are a woman reading this: feel proud and feel confident while breastfeeding, baby is more important than donkey's stares.
