A time for everything, as it were. In a sexually-charged atmosphere, yes, I love me some boobies, mmmm, boobies! But when they are being used to nurse my children, I see them as more essential and wondrous for my children than designed to give me an erection.<BR/><BR/>It's rather like comparing a hand job to a female doctor telling me to look over my shoulder and cough. One is hot. The other... not so much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935108391244336906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15859726.post-76465822063439534452008-03-12T16:19:00.000-06:002008-03-12T16:19:00.000-06:00YES.YES.YES.

My SIL had very similar experiences-- once being told that she was disgusting and needed to continue nursing on a toilet in the restroom. I had to coordinate my day around Lauralei's nursing schedule so that I didn't have to deal with people's crap. Thankfully it wasn't that hard and worked out well, but I totally agree with EVERYTHING you said.

I was very fortunate but i know of people, not living here in Oregon where it's uber-OK to nurse, who did not have bosses who understood that before she could go into that meeting, she would need to pump so big wet patches of milk would not reveal themselves in her clothing. <BR/><BR/>I had a friend who also had a preemie and the nurses at the NICU, same hospital where we were--same NICU even, were not encouraging of her while she strugged to try and nurse a little guy who was 6 weeks early. I had the most awesomest nurses who just cheered us along as Charlie learned to nurse over the course of three weeks. Weird though. Same hosp. Same NICU. Different focus and emphasis. <BR/>Nursing is great, free, portable, handy. All you need is a willing baby and some sweet warm milk and sometimes a good book.catyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807124295008006748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15859726.post-69223834779088669982008-03-11T22:14:00.000-06:002008-03-11T22:14:00.000-06:00I love you so bad it hurts.
