I always thought that was an awful argument. Level that playing field...downwards Luckily at my son's preschool, they WANT us to stay and volunteer in the classroom. In fact I have been there every day the past few weeks. And they don't mind one bit that I nurse the baby. (Connor, the preschooler is weaned) but I nurse the baby when she needs it, and the other children have asked questions and I just answer honestly that I am feeding the baby. Another mom just had a baby a few months ago and she is exclusively bf and says she would probably not have done it if she hadn't seen me doing it so comfortably. I have seen several little girls watch me intently and I hope they are learning how wonderful it is for a mommy to feed their baby. Noone has complained, and even if they did, luckily I live in Cali where the law is on my side. If Cate is nursing when she gets to preschool (and even kindergarten) I will go to her to nurse her. No ifs ands or buts...if it is "against" their policy, then their program is not for me and I will find a school that will meet my expectations...I mean...I am paying THEM right?
