Whole Foods Nurse-In
It’s difficult to get into words how absolutely shocked I was to hear that a Whole Foods in my area discriminated against a mom for breastfeeding her son while shopping.

Nursing Manners
Peanut has suddenly had a dramatic change in her nursing manners. She’s always been “bad” when she’s going to sleep. For whatever reason, no matter what I do, I can not get her past twiddling one side while nursing on the other while going to sleep. I tell her no. I threaten “no more milk”. … Read more

Today my husband told me his theory on why: breastfeeding. To be honest, I had almost forgotten that people get freaked out by it. … Read more

How to Avoid Comments About Breastfeeding
Posted by theadventuresoflactatinggirl on 03.24.11 · 6 Comments
This is a tricky subject, but one worth addressing. With my recent post about Kourtney Kardashian weaning and subsequent comments (plus the fact that it’s been on my mind with Peanut now two), I figured that I may have some information to share regarding the subject.
