Answers to the question "are you still nursing?":
1. Yes, isn' t it wonderfui?
2. "No, my mother weaned me a few years ago."
3. "Yes, isn't she sweet. I know you are just so-o-o jealous that you don't
have this chance"
4. " Yes, but I have a free hand if you help with something" ( like finding
your manners!!)
5. " Yes I am. I'm really sorry that you choose not to protect your child 's
health by breastfeeding"
6. "No, I'm not nursing, I 'm breastfeeding"
7. "No, I'm not nursing, my child has a difficult medical condition and I'm
giving chest to chest respirations"

My favorite response to the passerby who says " Well I never did that" Just
say " I bet you didn't ".
