I didn't even think of that Melinda, since the little girl was in her jammies
too... I thought the article was amazing, considering it was in the NY Times.
Clear, presented the situation well,  without judgment, and focused on what
some of the benefits might be, I especially liked the Sears quote about
nursing promoting connection, and the many disconnected kids of today being
such a part of this culture. It's so rare I read an article about
breastfeeding in a "mainstream" publication that doesn't make my hair stand
on end. I enjoyed it immensely.
