I was uncomfortable doing it with my first, but 10 years later when I had my 2nd, I was like "Talk to the Breast, people!" <br /><br />:-)Delennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567889031642608101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-61614854610656347442010-05-12T11:06:48.459-06:002010-05-12T11:06:48.459-06:00Amen!

I live in a state that has a law on the books allowing women to breastfeed anywhere in public, yet when I had foot surgery 4 weeks after my daughter was born, I was told to feed her in the hospital bathroom. By the outpatient intake person AND the pg nursing assistant who was to take me to pre-op! I asked if I could feed her in the curtained pre-op area and was told I couldn't because it was not safe for her due to germs. In a orthopedic hospital? WTF?! If someone comes in sick for orthopedic surgery, they should be sent home. I would not feed her in the bathroom, and instead discretely nursed her in the waiting area.Dorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255190971670471758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-31850305481349997722010-05-12T09:06:03.552-06:002010-05-12T09:06:03.552-06:00Ok, can I do a little happy dance for getting this...Ok, can I do a little happy dance for getting this as my first read, now that I'm trying to get back on the bloggy horse?

No one EVER saw my nip. And it most certainly is NOT a sexual thing, so I don't get what the deal is.<br /><br />The irony is, that you can see more boob watching Pamela Anderson on Dancing With The Stars, or on the cover of Maxim at the grocery checkout. No one wets their pants over that one.MrsSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792687516201324640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-34652743891120061692010-05-11T20:12:48.580-06:002010-05-11T20:12:48.580-06:00You go, girl!
