blueburndownWho 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?

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