Who spent an hour today walking around the store holding her newish-born child.

I have nothing against mothers nursing in public, I don't think it's something that you need to do in a closed off room or hidden away. But I'm sorry, I know I can't really see any skin, but I can tell the kid is nursing. It's kinda disturbing that you're walking around shopping in a craft store, while your kid is trying to eat. That can't be all that comfortable for him, nor do I think it can be easy for him to eat with you walking up and down the aisles. Shouldn't you sit down for the 30 minutes to an hour? So both of you can relax?

Also it's kinda weird that you're asking me questions about fabric paint with your shirt hiked up like that. Idk, awkward?

My first two kids, after the first couple weeks, wouldn't nurse sitting down at ALL. It was either lying down in bed, or walking around. It isn't uncomfortable for them at all, if you're cradling them just as you would if you're just carrying them. Since I couldn't lay down at a store, walking around it was.

*shrug* I think as long as people can't see anything, it shouldn't be a problem. Kid has to eat sometimes. I'd prefer that to a screaming newborn (mainly because screaming newborn = Lizziey needing a new shirt even though her last kiddo weaned over a year ago. *glares at boobs*).

Fair enough. I've never had to deal with young kids so this is something I was assuming.

Also your thing about the milk ducts still working a year later is kinda terrifying...

Terrifying? Its downright FRUSTRATING. No, really, I HAVE MY TUBES TIED BOOBS. YOU'RE NOT NEEDED ANYMORE.

But then, 5+ years of straight breastfeeding made them think that ~obviously~ they were lifelong milkers, I guess.
