Kathy D notes:

<< Um, if no food is allowed in the YMCA pools and hot tubs, then no lactating
 mother should be allowed to go in, breastfeeding or not; I mean, she has
 FOOD in her breasts. >>

No pregnant woman either.  AFter all, there is food in that thar umbilical
cord.  Hey -- not immediately after eating either -- there is food in the
stomach.

New rules for YMCA pools:

1.  No pregnant/lactating women allowed.
2.  No one who has eaten within the last 3 hours -- must give that food time
to digest.

Amazing isn't it -- that they can equate nursing a baby to munching on a bag
of chips.

I hope someone goes in there in the next day or two with a bottle and a bo fdg
infant and attempts to feed it.  Wonder if the "no food" rule will be in
evidence there.

Jan Barger, RN, MA, IBCLC -- just as testy as Kathy over this nonsensical
stuff.
