I didn't know it was so expensive! The part of the article that disturbs me is about the man undergoing chemotherapy unable to keep food down who's wife brought up donor milk and they didn't finish the story if he drank it or not. It seemed as if the intent was to imply breastmilk cured his cancer or something but they left us hanging....weirdAmber Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958316669267564937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411282501671432330.post-38795643961077406242009-08-24T16:09:18.006-05:002009-08-24T16:09:18.006-05:00Speakin' of awkward things my mother never tau...Speakin' of awkward things my mother never taught me 'n the topic of breastfeedin', take a gander at THIS article in our local newspaper today:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009908240337" rel="nofollow">Facilities beneficial to struggling moms</a><br /><br />Is anyone else (besides me) weirded out by this?

I was only 19 when I conceived the youngest, and I am pregnant again. I breastfed the 2 youngest children and intent to breastfeed again, as a matter of personal choice, as I believe it to be beneficial to the child. However, as unfair as many women may think it is, females exposing their breasts in public is indecent in my opinion, regardless of why.<br /><br />I have been to the mall and seen women doing this in public, and my own children look on, confused. I respect their right to breastfeed, as I think it admirable, but they need to respect the fact that not everyone wants their children looking at HER breast while she is in public. I am from a small town and EVEN WE have rooms near the restrooms, comfortably set up with lounge areas, where women can breastfeed privately, without exposing their breasts to everyone trying to shop, dine, or whatever.<br /><br />In conclusion, whether fair or not, the female breast, in this country and many others, is still a sexual organ in my opinion. If you are trying to have a nurturing, bonding experience with your child, then do so behind closed doors, and pump before you go out in public.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469266928607365729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411282501671432330.post-44928114088795399232009-08-23T20:36:24.340-05:002009-08-23T20:36:24.340-05:00I remember hearing a woman complain that putting a...I remember hearing a woman complain that putting a blanket over her baby's head can cause heat rash. If women appear indiscreet about breastfeeding, that may be the reason, just to be fair.<br /><br />As a male, I'm inclined to let women decide amongst themselves the etiquette of the female breast. It's not my fight.Brian Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243503053154933975noreply@blogger.com
