This has been an interesting discussion. Those of you who replied to my question on lactnet suggested that it might well be a good thing to mention in passing that I am indeed nursing a preschooler. Those who replied privately suggested that it would be too shocking and might make them swear never to do it. I recall in college meeting a mom who disciplined respectfully and slept with her kids. I thought she was a nut. But when it became apparent to me that I would be doing the same thing, I was so relieved to know I wouldn't be the only one. I also remember, as the nursing mom of an infant, seeing a 4yo girl nurse, and thinking to myself that I couldn't have imagined it before, but now it was within my comfort zone. I will certainly gauge how the class is doing with bf in general. A couple kids who submitted questions did ask directly how long I nursed. If I get asked point blank out loud, I will answer, bc dodging sounds like I have something to hide. Otherwise, I guess we'll see.
