Leslie,

You GO girl!  When I see a mom nursing her baby in public I always tell her
what a GOOD job she is doing.  I thank her for saving the environment and
for decreasing medical bills and days off for moms with sick babies!  Of
course I always tell her that I am an LC AND smile like a big girl!

Subject: Bill Maher and nursing in public

My 2 cents here.When the subject of nursing discreetly in public comes up= ,
I=20 always make these 2 points. 1. if you are out in public and see
something=  that=20 disturbs you, such as teenagers kissing and writhing
around, or a gay cou= ple=20 holding hands, do you rush up to them to scold
them? Do you ask=20 the "authorities" to remove them? No--you turn away!
Why? because you may= =20 be "violating their civil rights". So, when you
see a nursing mother--min= d your=20 own business! I usually get nods out of
even the most die-hard "that's=20=

disgusting, she should use a bottle" folks. 2. As far as mom covering up =
with a=20 shawl or blanket. Why not get a red one with a big target that
looks like=  a=20 boob? I mean, for heaven's sake, run up an advertisement!
We can get a pe= ek=20 at someones buttcrack and belly bulge in low jeans,
or when the plumber=20=

comes to our house, but it is "obscene" to perhaps watch a baby's mouth g=
o=20 near his mommy's boobie. Puhleese!=20 For the record--I was outed on
Fan-O-Vision at Camden Yards nursing my 2-=

month-old daughter. I still wasn't very proficient at latching her, and s=
he was=20 a wiggler. I also had worn an outfit that was not very accessible.
But it=  was=20 cute... Quite an adventure, and I never looked at nursing in
public the s= ame=20 way again.=20 If you see a mom NIPping today--give her
a smile!
Kindly,
Leslie
