Just had to share this anecdote from today.

I always nurse my 9 month old at day care when I pick him up.  Today the
infant and toddler class were combined at the end of the day as most kids are
picked up early on Friday.

While I was sitting down nursing, one of a toddlers wandered by looking
puzzled, he asked me "bottle?"  I said no Josh is eating.   Then another
toddler passed by.  She asked me "what's that?"  I said "boobie."  She was
absolutely delighted with her new word "boobie."  Her teachers also thought
it was a real hoot (they are very supportive and try not to feed Josh near to
pickup time).  Many of the children in this setting have not been breastfed.
 What a great opportunity to show them this is how babies are naturally fed.

I'm glad I have the opportunity to nurse in my daycare setting.  Seems to be
the most reasonable thing to do.  Besides it is also a great teaching
tool:-)!
