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

My 8 year old formula fed little boy is a cuddler, he wants his MOMMY! We cuddle a good 3 or 4 hours a day during the week. He wants hugs & kisses all the time. He wants to snuggle up with me to go to sleep every night.

My 7 month old baby boy is the same way! He just wants Mommy all the time.

Some states allow it, e.g., CA. I used to feel the same way not too long ago. After doing tons of research on milk as well as the safety of raw milk, I feel 100% comfortable. I only drink milk from this one dairy in California. Check out their website for fun: www.organicpastures.com. They name their cows! Their milk is so "clean" that they put their bacteria counts on their website each week.

Regulated raw milk in this country is very, very safe. The media and the Milk Processors Board (big business) would have you think otherwise. Raw milk has a lot of the same healing properties that breast milk has -- pretty interesting.

I was talking about the cows milk and when my oldest was little I didn't use powder. I am not sure why but didn't.

LOL! She reminds me of my Aunt. She has a unique outlook on what's right and wrong. She had 2 c-sections (the first was due to not progressing, the 2nd was elective)and she's one of those people that thinks most things natural are disgusting...She said something almost identical to your mom's circle buddy, something like "Pregnancy and childbirth are the most un-natural things in the world! Forget that lamaze crap, 'Here's my vein, knock me out and wake me when it's over!'" And--surprise--her daughter (my cousin, who's 14 years old) now echo's these sentiments. She was in on this same conversation and said something like "Oh I know, when I have kids just knock me out I am NOT going through THAT!" (You might be surprised to know that she actually did BF both her kids for a month or two).

This Aunt is like the black sheep of the family with her bizzare views...she also thinks if her kids go to a public school and interact with people of different races they will be somehow "tainted". Ugh...that kind of thinking just makes me so ill.

Yeap. My pregnacy with my oldest was filled with problems. She was 4 weeks early and I was so relived she was ok. It was no longer safe inside of me for her but she was still 4 weeks early and so small. I was glad to see her ok. Her heart rate had dropped a few times before labor and a couple during. It was a very scary time but to haveher there was and looking "perfect" was all that mattered when

isn't deciding to not breastfeed the same as deciding that you wouldn't breastfeed?

otherwise, in many instances coolers are not necesary for ebm. this is fact.

I know! With my last I went with out meds and not by choice. I was so afraid to push because it would hurt. But the second she was out and didn't cry I forgot everything else and wanted to know why she wasn't crying. They wiped her her with a towel and were not very gentel to get her to cry for me. She was perfectly fine just didn't want to cry. H said she was alert and just looking around (he told me that later on). But guess the Drs were not going to take the time to explain and get me to underestand it was just easier to get her to cry, lol.
