He is completely lactose intolerant and has now gotten a prescription for his formula.....The guilt that she feels is just about enough make me want to cry about it.She just kills herself about it. We have both extremes in our family .Those that are life long nursers and those that find it completely disgusting. My ex-MIL fed all her kids Pet cream for crap sakes. All I could say is just Feed the baby booby, bottle, medicine dropper,whatever it takes to nourish your little people do it and never be ashamed cause meeting the needs of a child can be done in so many ways.

I know it sounds corny but, I did. I nursed all three of my kids ,the last time it was twins and all of the times I had to take my kids to a dirty stinking bathroom and try to balance on a toilet that I never would have sat on other wise it just made me livid.It made me literally sick the thought of eating my meal while smelling others....ugh . So I would take them to the car or try to hide (not so easy with twins) I have even bought a movie ticket so they could nurse in a "clean" place while we were out for the day.I can tell you of the times that I have gotten the look or had a "stalker" while nursing in the parked car. You know the guy who watches the whole time hoping for a little side boob action and when he doesn't get it looks at you like he is completely disgusted....I love that guy.The only thing that I could do about it was when we were home then it was our time, whenever they wanted in the tub, on the couch wherever whenever to make up for putting them off in public or hiding them away in the bathroom like we were doing something dirty. Thank god they are babies, how low would my self worth be if every time I ate MY MOTHER had to hide me or people would make us both cry? <br />So what was my happiest moment? when my one year-olds at Christmas decided to get each others"muckles" in front of everybody at the family party.Woot! Go lil' ladies show all those prudish grown ups that they are for something other than hooters t-shirts. Seriously I had tears in my eyes when I read that. I know it sounds corny but, I did.

Tue, 26 May 2009 23:24:39 +0000 http://herbadmother.com/blog/?p=533#comment-28851 I am so glad I found you! :) I have to say that I breastfed both my kids until they were THREE. Yes...three. I live in NORTH-fucking-Alaska...where a gallon of milk costs me eleven bucks, and its fresh-frozen, and a can of formula, had I been unconscious and had to use it, would have cost me $35. Seriously. <br /><br />I faced all the stares and ugliness here, and my dang mother breastfed until she was like five or some crazy thing like that! Its the Eskimo, I guess! <br /><br />Ugh...why is it that someone can SMOKE A STINKING cigarette, and pollute my daughter's lungs, but I can't bust a nip out to feed a crying baby!? <br /><br />Just don't get in my way when my kids want to nurse, I dared anyone to say something, cause I'm kind of a smarty pants, and had a great comeback for EVERY SINGLE one. Ugh. OK...now I"m getting upset over nothing! Amen to your post, your blog and especially your daughter!!!

Like many, this rankles my rankles!!! My friend got asked to stop breastfeeding in IKEA several weeks ago, she was told it was making people uncomfortable. She wrote a letter to the Canadian head office. <br /><br />I just don't understand, who does not want to see a boob? Especially in such a natural way. Natural is not what you make is breastfeeding IS "NATURAL". <br /><br />Kick ass and take names Catherine. You are fantastic and so is your little girl.

Natural is what you make it. In reference to the person who mentioned that kids don’t remember being breastfed – they don’t remember being bottlefed either, so what’s the difference?

I wish I had the balls to go upto women who I see breastfeeding and say “great job!” but I’m always convinced they’ll think I’m nuts.

And how come breastfeeding moms can do 7 things at once? One mum was feeding her baby and managed to catch my escaping 18 month old while I couldn’t even hold a bag and run at the same time…!

He was waiting at our house when we brought our first daughter home, and it wasn't long before she was hungry. I asked him if it would make him more comfortable if I nursed her in my room. He looked me straight in the eye and said that I should nurse her *anywhere* I was comfortable and that *nobody* should have a problem with a new mama feeding her baby. My husband was extremely supportive as well, but somehow having Dad give me such unconditional support stayed with me wherever I went. I only wish my dad was with you when that lady in the library gave you that look.
