Just what I was thinking. 19,000+ posts -- seems like someone making statements and responding to them. Let other people have opinions?
19,000+?
So, let's get this straight. Nothing showing but it's obvious what's going on?
If it's that obvious, it's flaunting. Make it a no big deal and NOT obvious.
Or else, go private.
Guess I'm not politically correct.

Lee - why must women cover up to feed babies, yet it's acceptable for them to wear little to nothing on the beach. Do YOU like to put a blanket over
your head while you enjoy a meal? Babies don't like it either.

Younger friends of ours are planning a holiday trip with a 6 month old that is breast fed. They want to know if breast feeding in public (no flesh

Are the cultural norms different in larger cities than small towns?... |
Alright, Peoples, here's your
answer-- from a Mexican man who has lived in villages all over the peninsula and in the city of La Paz. I'm going to give it pretty much verbatim,
translated.
"Sure its ok for a woman to breastfeed her baby in public. Its normal, but she usually covers her shoulder because some guy might see her and think
something bad. It natural to feed your baby and a guy who would think something is crazy."
I then asked him if it was different in the cities than the towns.
"Yes, it probably is. Mothers in the cities usually don't feed their babies in public. When I asked why this was, he answered, "Well, because there
are so many people in cities. In towns everyone knows the mother and her family."
I asked him if these views were the same towards tourists. He replied, "Its the same, no different I would think."
So, there you have one Mexican man's opinion and observations.
btw, Bajafam, lovely photo. Hugs to you all from us both!

Wow, I have been at the clinic in Zorrillo now for four months and mothers pull out their "titis"at a moment's notice, they do it in the clinic and
they do it in my office. I had a large women come in today as a matter of fact, and her 1 year 8 month old said, "Ti-ti" and her older sister was
sitting right there and said isn't that cute and her mother pulled it out and started feeding right then and there. I have seen more titis feeding
babies in four months than I have seen in my lifetime. Especially since no one has money for formula.

As an addendum, I think its great how these women are so natural about it especially since I grew up with a mother that had to be fully clothed before
leaving the shower....they can teach our straight laced, the human body is dirty mentality a few things..

You are saying that you would rather see someone shoving a bottle of artificial, chemical fake milk then milk from their own mother? Breast feeding is
not for the poor - formula is NOT a status symbol!!!!!

OH pleeze...
Taking affront at my quote is beginning to sound like the PBBB, no one can make a statement without it being
blown COMPLETELY out of proportion, that is not what I was saying...but now that you mention it, most of these women that work in the fields can't
pump their breasts to collect during their 12 hour days at the risk of leaving the fields, placing the milk in a collection bottle and refrigerating
it, and even if their boss would let them do it, there are no standing refrigerators in the rows of tomatoes and broccoli, so alot of them yes, would
like their mothers or neighbors to feed their kids formula that work, the other 50% are home breast feeding their kids because their husbands are
earning $12 American in the fields daily...I respect whatever my patients want to do and advise them that breastmilk is the best way to go...but in
the end I have to respect their final decisions. | Quote: | Originally posted by bajafam

I knew the good doctoressa can and would speak for herself,
so I waited to hear her response before responding.
I will say that I have heard that some doctors down here may advise their mothers that breast milk isn't needed by babies past the age of 6 months. I
find that questionable, to say the least, and am in full agreement with you, Bajafam, keep it natural as long as you can.
Wow, what an eye-opening couple of paragraphs the EnsenadaDr has presented.
Quite a different perspective on a different life than mine.
Bless these mothers of the earth and thank you, doctor, for seeing to their needs.

just seemed to me that you were slightly appalled at the mama feeding her nursling in front of you and that they should be feeding their babies
formula, but only nursed because they couldn't afford it.

There was a time when mamas wore their babies so that they could nurse while they worked. While this may not be practical, I have seen it still in
practice in rural areas of Baja, even on just a small ranchito.
And for what it's worth, the WHO now endorses breastfeeding to two years of age. Sadly, my little dude weaned himself at one. But thanks Santiago, for
bringing up this thread, it has allowed me to reminisce about the nursing bond and get re-involved in lactivism

I don't know how you came to that conclusion..I never suggested anything of the kind.

Another reason it is so difficult to figure out intent in the written online word.
I'm still confused on your embarrassment though. Why would a Doctor be embarrassed by a patient nursing her child in your presence?

Maybe for the same reason she'd be embarrassed if a patient ripped a big, stinky fart....it's not common practice....albeit normal human function.

I guess we all come from different backgrounds. I was raised not to be ashamed of the human body and it's functions...feeding or farting, if you must
place them on the same plate so to speak. We are raising our children in the same manner. I'm proud to say that when my kids see a nursing mother,
they say aww...that mama is feeding her baby, not holy crap! look at the lady's boobs!
