Subject: Your know your SONS live with a breastfeeding advocate when

  Like many of us on Lactnet, my children have grown aside my teaching materials and reading related to pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding (2 boys, 1 girl).  

  This has nothing to do with advocacy, just normalcy:

  I've been chuckling at howmy 11 and 8 year old sons are more comfortable with breastfeeding than their adult male guitar teacher.  My 11 year old was asked to find a "real song" that he wanted to learn to play.  He chose John Denver's Wild Montana Skies.  Let me see if I can remember the words (I should be able to since we hear it all the time now!)

  He was born in the Bitterroot Valley in the early mornning rain
  Wild geese over the water headed north and home again.  
  Bringing the warm wind of the south and the first taste of the spring
  His mother took him to a breast and softly she did sing...

  Now my boys LOVE for me to open the top of the car and blare this song on the stereo as loudly as we can stand it, and the sing along, belting out the words happily.  They are just as comfortable with the words in guitar class as they are in the privacy of our car.  The guitar teacher, however, rushes through that line so fast you can hardly undertand a word he says!  My kids haven't figured it out.  They just look at him weird for hurrying or sort of slurring his speech through that line.  

  I chuckle everything.  Maybe this 40-something single guy can learn something about the normalcy of breastfeeding from a couple of young, previously breastfed musicians.  :)
