Is there anywhere you feel it is completely inappropriate to nurse in public?

But, of course I know the breastmilk storage guidelines.

I was stating manners are manners. You leave if you bf. You leave if you smoke. Sorry you misunderstood :o)


Do you consider making a mother of an infant who is eating the biologically normal and recommended nutrition mean for him uncomfortable to be "good manners"?

I held my babies all the time no matter how they were fed. I loved to watch them sleep and hold them while they sleep.

Well, you (or anyone else) shouldn't use ebm that has been out that long.

ITA! It has come to a point that bfip is equated with smoking in public, just as smokers are expected to ask, "Do you mind if I smoke?" bf are supposed to ask,"Do you mind if I nurse my child."~Lisa

Depending on what the weather is like you may not have to warm it up. I was told with my oldest was it was warm out if she liked it cold and it didn't upset her she could have it cold. I just can't remember how old she was when I was told this but I know she was still on formula so before a year. I'd ask your dr about it.

I agree, but at the same time, I've seen FF who feel and appear to be very attached and well-bonded to their infants. (I've also seen the opposite.)

I've really wrestled with this because when I compare my dd's bf experience to my friend's children's ff experience, they are completely different. It's even more pronounced when you compare year two, three, etc. It's hard for me to fathom that these children will end up equally secure, trusting and well-adjusted when my dd has had *significantly* more one-on-one time. If you throw co-sleeping into the mix and the fact that I never let my dd cry (when she was an infant), it feels even more pronounced.

But, we just don't know because I don't think there is adequate, if any, research. Intuitively, it seems like there would be a big difference. But, IRL, sometimes I see differeneces and other times I don't.

I thought that milk had to be pasteurized to be sold in stores. I for one would never drink unpasteurized milk. I read about a child getting very sick from drinking unpasteurized goat milk because the goat had eaten contaminated hay.(The farmer didn't know it was contaminated because barn cats had been on it and caused illness....ick!~Lisa
