NIP Article - reader's comments

Sun, 09-09-2007 - 10:53pm

Here's an seemingly innocent article on a nurse-in at an Applebees. However, if you read the reader comments...boy oh boy! Talk about some ignorant remarks. One of them even equated NIP to smoking! Unbelievable. I thought it would be a good thing to discuss on here, especially since our resident FF/anti-NIP'ers are feeling underrepresented.

BF'ers, be prepared to be astounded.

I think it is a sign that they weaned too early.

True! My brother adopted an abandoned kitten, and this cat would knead and root in your general chest area and leave a huuuuuge wet spot (ewwww). He eventually just ran away despite being treated well.

That's exactly how mine was. I loved him, and I've never met another cat like him. He never scratched us (even when we would dress him up and put him in our doll stroller!). I had to keep all stuffed animals away from him, as those were his favorite things to suck on!

Well, I don't think Ewok was truly weaned "too early" b/c Raven did (reluctantly) nurse her to about 12 weeks.

Not much of a debate today if we're all talking about our cats!


I love Davey, but he's a little wacky.

Taking on, but my grandmother's dog (a standard poodle mix) used to suck on the corners of a pillow for comfort.

I never had a cat, so I can't relate. :P

Our dog was taken away from his mother too early, and was already the runt of the litter. He would suck on anything he could find as a puppy (i.e., my hand, pillow, dog bed, blanket, etc.). We got him a few years before we became "real" parents, and I was so attached to him, maybe because he seemed so needy. It was when I had an extremely vivid dream about offering him a pacifier that I realized maybe I needed more than furbabies in my life...LOL.
