Okay, now I have something to say. I came across this picture and then the article about it and I have something to say! If you are offended by a woman breast feeding her child, then there is something wrong with you, not the woman. The way babies were meant to be fed was by the precious milk all female mammals make, got that? All female mammals. Whether or not you believe in God, what sort of God, or what not, it is science, it is nature. It is how the human body was made to be. I do agree that there is a tactful way to nurse your baby in public but by no means should you feel like you need to leave a public place just to nurse your baby. There are all sorts of people and things we do that can be considered "offensive"...do we make these people feel like they need to leave?

And, the photo was done with great taste. The picture could have included the nursing mommy's areola or milk runny down the baby's chin.

I nursed both of my kids...neither one ever had an ounce of formula. I started to wean my son at 10 1/2 months and my daughter at 11 months. I always had the right mixture, right temperature, best thing for my baby. And hey, if you choose not to nurse, that is your decision. But for those of us who chose to breast feed, who choose to commit to it, we should be applauded not chastised. Boobies were put on our bodies for two reasons, yes, two reasons. ONE OF WHICH IS BREAST FEEDING. The other, I bet, was utilized in the act that made the baby.

So, now that my soapbox is wearing thin, I leave you with this:

Whatever method you chose to feed your baby, it is your choice. With dedication and support from your loved ones, you will succeed. Stand tall, nursing women! Be proud! And cherish every moment. It is a bond you will never forget for the rest of your life.
