regional differences?
Normally, I don't care
what folks think or say, but for some reason, when it comes to nursing a 2 1/2 yr old in public, I get a little shy about it. I'm not at all shy about it (which is partly personality and partly geography -- although a NIP toddler is not exactly a *common* sight hereabouts I don't think it would draw much notice) but I do avoid nursing my 2 1/2 year old in public as well. My reason is he's too big for me to nurse while carrying on with whatever I'm doing, so I'd have to find a reasonably comfortable place to sit down and stay put for a bit, and that is just inconvenient if we're shopping or running errands. The last time I actually nursed him in front of anyone was at a party, so not exactly "in public". He slipped and bumped his mouth on the corner of a coffee table, putting a minor gash in his gum. It was late at night so he was tired anyway and I'm sure it was very painful. That was when I learned that I *can* nurse him without *too* much trouble in a non-nursing bra! But usually it's not necessary. Holly Mom to Camden, 2 yrs |

I've always lived in Nor Cal too, and I have only ever seen a few.

what folks think or say, but for some reason, when it comes to nursing a 2 1/2 yr old in public, I get a little shy about it. I understand. I feel exactly the same way, and get irritated at myself about it, because I know I'm not doing anything wrong. It is no virtue of mine that I nurse William in public; he would throw a fit if I refused.

nurse him without *too* much trouble in a non-nursing bra! I gave up nursing bras long ago. I have managed to find regular ones that are somewhat stretchy. Now I just wish I could wear non-nursing-accessible clothes. :-( Leslie Emily (2/4/91), Jake (1/27/94), Teddy (2/15/95), and William (3/5/01) http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/o/onemoremakesfour/ "Children come trailing clouds of glory from God, which is their home." ~ William Wordsworth |
