What a totally marooonic conclusion.
Perhaps our next challenge should be to establish at what age one becomes too old to breast feed. |
 Good DENNIS.
Some folks here are so concerned about whether what s/he says, what s/he does, how s/he dresses, etc. is proper according to what a particular group
of people thinks is "normal" or appropriate. In many countries...breast feeding is the norm......the natural....ways of life. I've seen it often in
Mexico. What's the big deal anyhow?

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

The issue is, in essence, public nudity.

The issue is equally a highly christian country bound in old fashion values.
Any debate on whether public feeding is appropriate in, say, the middle east?
19,000+ posts offensive? Is Dennis sensitive, or defensive, about this? Doesn't it demonstrate who has a life here at nomads, and who doesn't?
How many posts is this per day?

Right, and I seldom see it, but when I do I think it is odd, but it does not bother me any more than just that-----odd.
I do my skinny-dipping generally out of sight of others, out of respect for their likely sensitivities--------to me, that is the solution for public
child feeding, when possible & practical.
It really is not a big deal, tho.

Yes. For some it is, and all points of view must be considered.
Cases such as this are made to order for the commie ACLU. Does anyone here belong to a cell of it?

A scientific study.
I'll volunteer for the control group.

Think ''good christian'' is an oxymarooon.
Unfortunate that religious reliefs are founded in superstitions and male hiarachy. Dominus vobiscum.
How about obvious feeding in the Vatican?

So is it okay to relieve oneself in public?

Back to breastfeeding in public...
I felt I wasn't going to enter into this discussion because its devolved counter to how the thread was crafted which was simply to ask a question of
the Mexican cultural propriety of mothers publicly breastfeeding their babies.
Given the news I just read I have to speak up.
From BBC News: Japan has recalled all affected product when Caesium was discovered in a manufacturer's powdered baby food formula. The plant is
located 200 miles from ***ushima.
A little background info:
Caesium is an element, a soft metal that remains liquid at room temperature, and its radioisotopes are extracted from nuclear waste material.
"...it is a hazardous material as a metal and its radioisotopes present a high health risk in case of radiation leaks...radiocaesium follows potassium
and tends to accumulate in plant tissues, including fruits and vegetables." ~ Wikipedia.
My god, can you imagine what the parents of these innocent babies are feeling now?
Because the isotope washes out of the body in sweat and urine the babies who drank this formula may not die, but experiments have indicated it may
cause sterility and cancer.
How tragic!
I do emphasize this is isolated to one factory affected by the ***ushimi accident, and it is not exported out of country, but it certainly provides a
case to support caution in choosing our food,
and in this case infant formula.
Please urge young mothers to feed their babies naturally if they possibly can; whenever and wherever a baby is hungry, mom should not be constrained
by inane social mores, imo.

Mood: Move on. It is just a chapter in the past, but don't close the book- just turn the page

A woman came into my clinic yesterday, very nice lady. She mentioned to me that she couldn't breastfeed her child and felt very ashamed and said she
felt like a failure because anatomically, she wasn't able to, even after going to a specialist. I might emphasize, in this case, I gave her
encouragement and told her that at least she tried, and not to feel guilty or upset.
