On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.

Perhaps, but you are also referencing NIP. Later, you claim that you haven't been discussing NIP. You should make up your mind, because this post seems to say otherwise.

I've explained it plenty of times. It's not the nursing, it's the breast. Plenty of people think an exposed breast is just as obscene as exposed genitalia. Maybe they are prude. (shrug) I can see how it would be considered disrespectful to have that photo pop up.

I did, you must have missed it. That one you just quoted answers your question. You said "tell me why I should care" and I said "I didn't say you SHOULD care." That's the answer.

So I had to sneak on over here and add my two cents.. I am PROUD that I was able to be in our phototag. It wasn't to show off my boobs, it was to shout from a roof top that I could do it, that I tried and that I had a ban of sisters in my group who did too. I was proud to be in that picture. My son almost couldn't breast feed. Some may know what its like to sit with your child in NICU and feel the heart break that your child needs your milk and you can't give it to them and so they now have to have a bottle. Lots of discussion there I am sure how people feel about nipple confusion.. He almost didn't want to try. Many a times I nearly gave up, it was so hard. So to be able to do it, and then say hey everyone look what I can do was awesome. I have larger breasts so when I breast fed, it wasn't easy to be covered, and I was very careful about where I went, so that I knew I could breast feed, with out offending people, because I would be exposing a lot of breast. But the point of our photo tag wasn't that we where all still doing it, but that some of us gave 110% to try, and that counts, and some where still chugging along. Everywhere you go you will be put down

Wow, this has been really constructive! Seriously, where's the debate? What did you hope to achieve by all the commentary you have made about my caring or not caring about who disapproves of my nursing? If you don't think I "should" care, then we have absolutely nothing further to discuss. You go on caring, and I'll go on not caring, and live happily ever after.

I see your point, although I disagree.
