Hi! Happy New Year!! I probably need to re-introduce myself-it's been a while. My name is Julie Miller and we just moved to Clinton,IL. from Decatur-the soybean capital of the world-a few months ago. I have a pump rental station and was doing quite well in Decatur. We moved to Clinton-20 mins. away-and things have really slowed down. I also completed my BC course through BSC a few months ago-finally. Now what to do with it-hospitals aren't exactly jumping for my attention-I am for theirs though, but that's another story. My question is for a young mom who is tired of being pale and wants to tan again. She has been nursing well for 5 months now-baby will not take a bottle. I suggested cup feeding-mom just hasn't got around to trying it yet- Dr. told mom to wean at 6 months anyway. Is it safe for mom to tan while nursing? ( Mom also slept in a chair for the first 2 months holding baby now baby needs to be held constantly--any suggestions for this?) Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions! Julie MIller, BC
