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.

No, but you're claiming that "most" don't, and that I am an "exception to the rule". YOUR words, not mine!>>


Thank you.

This is rich coming from someone who brags about getting up at 4:30 am to pump milk so that strangers aren't potentially made to cover their eyes to keep them from burning at the sight of a mom NIP. Funny.

Well, if Wikipedia says it....


Here's the definition of *unemployed* from Dictionary.com:


un·em·ployed

Again, who wrote this "rule"? I know plenty of moms who continue to be engorged and leak LONG after their supplies are established. The supply is established after the first 6 weeks or so post-partum, and leaking can and does continue for a lot longer in many of us! There is no "general rule" when it comes to something that everyone's body may take to differently.

<<>>

Now your commentary is veering off into the senseless. Who said anything about "Mommy Olympics"? I didn't say I was proud to be leaking at 2 years PP. I don't see it as an accomplishment at all. I really have no clue what you are trying to get at.

If you can deal with being uncomfortable, can't those offended by a mom feeding her baby deal with their discomfort?

The problem is that engorgement=breasts think they don't need to make as much milk=supply problem. Additionally, engorgement=plugged ducts=mastitis=missing work=no electricity. It's not all about martyrdom.
