The lack of nursing mothers in public has caused me to go into hiding as well... nursing in my car, rearranging my day in awkward ways so that I have to keep going home to nurse in between errands. I also use a cover for those times when I must nurse in public. But people stare at me like I'm some sort of alien. <br />I also went on maternity Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693762272706964275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321713046170764990.post-51383482785560772312009-04-18T11:15:00.000-04:002009-04-18T11:15:00.000-04:00Hello everyone!

For you, I hope the breast pump companies stay in business! I do beleive that women should only have to pump when they are seperated from their babies, (and am so sorry so many of us need to be) but what astounds me is that many women pump because that's 'what they do'. They pump.

However, I'm a single mother of two (by choice) and obviously *must* work to keep a roof on our heads. I have *never* personally given either of my boys a bottle - I only pump at work to provide expressed milk for daycare. I will continue to do so til DS2 turns 1, and after I stop pumping at work will continue to nurse on Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176342962251935739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321713046170764990.post-35829148952878131962009-04-16T14:09:00.000-04:002009-04-16T14:09:00.000-04:00There's one here!

I find it sad that there are already so few women in the US who choose to exclusively breastfeed longer than a couple weeks, and that this decision is again being Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183758461601458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321713046170764990.post-28994723245071978012009-04-16T02:36:00.000-04:002009-04-16T02:36:00.000-04:00bravo! great post.bravo! great post.Allegrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358593178703865482noreply@blogger.com
