Less cleavage than we see on television, or in print ads, or on a public billboard, but if that cleavage is associated with a nursing mother then knickers suddenly get twisted. Sadly, that logic is what is twisted. <BR/><BR/>My take home message from all this is that I will not be providing West Jet with my business. My nursing days are behind me now, but I'll continue to support the care and feeding of children, in all its many forms, by spending my money with those companies that do the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-58071550280477714652008-09-18T13:38:00.000-04:002008-09-18T13:38:00.000-04:00My dirty nasty boobies did not allow me to nurse m...My dirty nasty boobies did not allow me to nurse my son.

Do you remember hearing the story about the TSA guy here who made a woman drink her own bottled breast milk here in Seattle before getting on a flight? That made the news, he was fired and all kinds of melee ensued. Every woman should have the right to feed her baby the way that she sees best. If they make nursing mothers cover their babies with blankets then bottle fed babies should have to be covered too!Nauntie Lushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602913238961361850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-51846033106579609332008-09-17T14:40:00.000-04:002008-09-17T14:40:00.000-04:00Does anyone think that because public breastfeedin...Does anyone think that because public breastfeeding is a relatively new phenomenon that not all of society has fully embraced it yet? I was born in the 60's and babies were pretty much strictly bottle fed. I had 3 kids in the 80's and bf but it was expected to be done behind closed doors. The more prevalent public bf becomes the more it will become a societal norm. I can recall when a pregnant bikini-wearing woman was SHOCKINGLY OUTRAGEOUS!

But that is THEIR problem. I don't know if I and my children are lucky enough where I live to have a written right in regards to this but since you do I can't understand why this was ever an issue. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately differing opinions turn into rudeness these days. I can't tell you how many times I am wearing Squeaker in a store (in a sling) and hear some Mom say, "Oh, she's going to spoil that baby." Wow. I needed you opinions on how to raise my third child. Thank you for your thoughtful help. No, they weren't requiring I put the baby down but they just had to vocalize their whining as if I needed a load of their brain vomit. <BR/><BR/>Why can't people just look away when someone else is doing something that they have every right to be doing? Why does it have to be "OH but I don't like it?!" I could see it if you were smacking him around. But feeding him? <BR/><BR/>It's just sad the measures we slap against Mothers. And worse when we can't just look away when we don't like what we see. That must have been a REALLY small plane you were on, C.

That doesn't automatically make me uncomfortable with my own nakedness, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to see another woman's body. I have no problem with breastfeeding (heck, I did, and so did my mother who had 6 kids from '46 to '66 and is in her 80s), but do I want a shot of your boob? No. Just use a cover-up. So your kid screams? You don't have to encase the baby, just veil yourself. (And if you can't encourage a baby who throws it off, to get used to it -- good luck with your future parenting!)<br /><br />Lots of people do things in public that they think is okay. but others don't. I cannot abide spitting (I don't want whatever is in your lungs that you NEED to get rid of, to be on my shoes when I walk in my home. You should probably see a doctor!), but so many think it's completely normal. Not too keen on guys hugging up to a tree to pee, either.<br /><br />No one (with a brain) is telling you to go into the airplane bathroom and lock yourself in. Just have some consideration for other people's comfort level and keep your parts covered. Life is all about compromise.<br /><br />sent from: fav.or.itfav.or.ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335937309857915745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-63106018651925472612008-09-16T19:55:00.000-04:002008-09-16T19:55:00.000-04:00IT IS EATING.

But do I want to see your boob? NO. It's not about feeding your kid, it's about seeing your "bits". THAT is what makes people uncomfortable.
