Dear lactnuts,

I thought I would share this with you all as it made us all laugh if not cry
a little!

Mother with new baby 5 days who is nosey and is not concentrating on feeding
when 12 year old son and friends, 8 yr old & friends running around. Mum
takes him upstairs to feed him. Overheard by father:
"Why is your mum taking the baby upstairs to feed him?"
"Well she gives him her boobs".
"Why? Can't she afford to buy bottles?"

Once this baby sttles with all the children around him she intends to make a
point of "public feeding" as she was shocked that some children do not know
that breastmilk is the ONLY REAL food for a baby.

Stay well,
 Chris Wood
