Here's a mouth opener for you all. I was left speechless recently after 
talking to an experienced nursing mom. She had recently had her second baby 
(little girl) and had 1 little boy (3 yrs old) at home. She had previously nursed 
the other baby for 6 months. While giving her some breastfeeding refresher 
info she stopped me and stated that she was not going to breastfeed this 
baby because... (while looking at me like I should already know this) she had   
A BOY at home! When I said that I did not understand, she very matter of 
fact replied... "Well he is a BOY and how would I feed HER without him seeing 
my breasts!"    
    Hmmm... I wonder why so many people in America think that breasts are 
just sexual objects??!!!! So sad.

Note: Although I could not get her to understand what a great teaching 
opportunity this would be for her youngster...I did convince her to nurse while 
in the hospital (but she would only do so when the little boy was not visiting). 
Some people just don't get it.
