What countries are the most accepting of public breastfeeding?
I think most European countries are absolutely accepting of breastfeeding. Although I've heard that France maybe not nursing as much as they use to. The United States had a very big impact on the world at large the breastfeeding rates when went down when the United States wasn't breastfeeding. But my daughter lives in Germany I just visited her people are breastfeeding in Germany all over the Scandinavian countries everybody nurses I can't speak to some of the Asian countries or Middle Eastern. I certainly know that people breastfeed widely in South America, Central American there's no other choice in many of these cultures. In Africa a tremendous amount of breastfeeding but very impacted by the United States so I'm clear of some of the Asian countries I know they breastfeed but do they breastfeed in public.
