I so agree with Nannyde on this one.
Let's get down to it.
I have a great marriage.
With that comes a great sex life.
Sex is normal and healthy and part of life. It's how those breast fed babies GOT HERE!!!
So hubby and I should be allowed to go at it anywhere at any time if we feel we need to, right??!
At Thanksgiving dinner in front of guests?
After all, it's totally natural!
I see no difference. The woman's baby was hungry and she needed to feed it. I understand. It DID NOT have to be right there at the Thanksgiving table!!!!
Nannyde wasn't saying the woman shouldn't BF. She should not have done it in front of a 12 year old at a holiday meal. It was done to shock and that's sick.
I breast fed 4 children. I found nursing to be a very personal thing. Just the two of us bonding. I held them and talked softly to them as I nursed. It was a quiet, wonderful time for us. I sought out private places to share this time with my baby. There were odd occasions where I had to nurse in "public"...meaning I covered up and quietly fed my baby. Why on earth would I want to flop it out for the world to see, unless I am an exhibitionist and do it "just because I can"????
The baby gets no more nourishment from a boob on display. And I personally think a baby at the mall would prefer to be gently covered and feel safe and close to mommy instead of the entire mall participating in lunch time.
To do it at interview, whether provider or client, is done for shock value and nothing else. A provider knows when she has an interview, she can nurse before people get there. To do it AT interview, in another's home, is not acceptable in my opinion. Again...just done for shock value, not for the baby's well-being.

& I didn't always have time to do more than 1 subject (after all naptime is inconsistent at best & the time I tried to complete chores). Also, this SA was close to age to my oldest SA & she was WAY BEHIND where she should have been & didn't work independently at all. DCM even seemed ticked off when I didn't get much work done, at the time I had 4 or 5 other children in my care aside from this 7-year-old so I had my hands full! I finally told mom I would only work with her 1/2 hr a day & soon after she pulled her to go stay with a SIL who "had the time", despite having 3 PK kids of her own:
:
After that little announcement of mine the moms pretty much shunned me. Oh and by the way, it was not a very well behaved group of kids....the differece was that I was honest.
