NIP Article - reader's comments

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.

Yes, I do find that your comments smack of the Mommy Olympics.


LOL!

I never suggested the mother skip a feeding.

And you are one of several claiming that it is such a huge inconvenience to simply feed a bottle of EBM during an outing, when it simply is not true.


Not true in YOUR experience.

In YOUR experience it's not true. For many, it was a huge inconvenience. I wasn't a very prolific pumper, so any amount I pumped went into the refrigerator for DD to use while I was at work. I wasn't about to waste pumped milk on an outing when I could NIP.

For someone who claims to live her life according to the comforts of others, you sure have a hard time grasping any reality other than your own. Which leads me to believe you're not the altruistic martyr you think you are.

How do you not skip a feeding when you give the baby a bottle?

Why should a SAHM spend money on a pump to use every few days?

"BFing is certainly not healthier than one feeding of EBM

"I never suggested the mother skip a feeding. Just that one feeding be a pumping session. "

I'll ask again since you must have missed it the first time I asked--what about the feeding that is being missed b/c mom is giving baby a bottle? Even if you pumped that morning, breastfeeding isn't cumulative. If I nurse at 10am bottle feed at 12pm and then don't nurse again until the next feed, then one has been skipped.
