Okay, we have now swapped purposes here.

We started by pointing out that we SHOULD enable mothers and babies to 
enact their full lives, in public.  Now, we're saying Mums should stay 
at home and take joy in their little ones, and wait.

It's breaking down the notion that Mums can't take part with their 
little ones, that we're working, on no?  Surely it's about HAVING BOTH!  :-)

I'm 47, with a 4 year old, and new to this entire breastfeeding larky.  
How much longer should I wait before taking part?  Because I can tell 
you, jobs for newly trained 55 year olds may be a tad difficult to find!

Also, surely my most pertinent contribution, is to be made whilst I'm 
still breastfeeding, and still living in the land of milk?  And, like 
many mothers, I need the social congress of this type of event, to 
combat society forcing me into the home because it won't accommodate my 
child in the first place!
