I am feeling lost is providing a response to this query (apart from my
strong feelings!) So to you, wise ones"

Nursing mom is a childcare provider to toddlers. She was told by the
counselor to one of the children's siblings that breastfeeding in front of
the children is traumatizing them and causing them grief because they are
young and experiencing their first separation from their mothers.  One of
the children has recently begun nursing (because of her experince of
watching the care giver nurse) and the others have varied histories of being
nursed, (some have either asked to nurse again or are nursing their dolls)
some quite briefly, all with some breast time. One child is adopted from
abroad and spent a year in an orphanage and does have attachment issues
which the family is actively addressing. I have never looked at this from
such a perspective. Any ideas?

Warmly,

Lisa Boisvert-Mackenzie
