(sarcasm) Isn't she terrified that she already scarred her son for 
life by feeding him FROM HER BREASTS for six months?!?

That is one of the craziest things I've ever heard.

And here I was feeling disappointed that my older sons, who both 
nursed past age three, don't remember breastfeeding!  I have tried to 
make up for this by openly nursing their younger brother in front of 
them all the time.  ;-)  If they don't remember doing it themselves, 
at least I can make sure they remember seeing it!

This sounds like one of the very, very few instances in which I might 
recommend the use of one of those nursing covers.  What a shame for 
the daughter not to be breastfed simply because she has an older 
brother.
