And what a great giveaway, our entire library system does not have this book (all of western massachusetts)so it would be a great addition that would help out my city (holyoke) but also many others who can request this book using our interlibrary loan.

I'm sorry that I didn'...Kathleen and Liana,<br /><br />I'm sorry that I didn't see your comments earlier. Yes! these common "instructions" to breastfeeding mothers are typical of the very real cultural barriers that make breastfeeding so difficult for so many women. We encourage women to breastfeed their babies... but then give them disapproving looks, tell/ask them to cover up, or go to a bathroom when they *do* breastfeed. Not only is this a mixed message, but it also prevents young girls and women from seeing breastfeeding in action, and from seeing it as the normal thing to do. Then, when women start to breastfeed, they often have seen it only a little or not at all, but have seen lots of babies being fed bottles. They then automatically hold their breasts as they would bottles, and hold their babies as if to bottle-feed, which ends up making breastfeeding more difficult and more likely to cause pain for the mom and frustration for the baby.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790597214335882301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919346549686306137.post-91667991048770486432010-08-03T13:15:34.108-04:002010-08-03T13:15:34.108-04:00Oh my word I can not describe how much I would lik...Oh my word I can not describe how much I would like this book.

I j...Hi there, I'm a fan of yours on Facebook. I just wanted to point you in the way of an issue regarding breastfeeding in public that, given your interests, you may wish to participate in. Lisa Rollins, co-host of a radio show on WORD 106.3 in Greenville, SC, went on a on-air rant last week about how offensive and inappropriate she finds nursing in public. She went on to suggest that nursing moms resort to breastfeeding in a public bathroom, remaining in their cars, or simply remaining at HOME, rather than subject the public to the sight of a baby tucked under a woman's shirt. The Facebook group linked below is organizing nurse-ins around the country to peacefully protest her comments.

I did not cover her head while nursing, she was on oxygen and needed all the air she could get. There wasn't much to see as her head and my shirt blocked the view. I was asked by hospital staff to cover up. I did not comply. Health care workers have a lot to learn.Lianahttp://goodearthhealth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919346549686306137.post-34541737650141451632010-07-09T19:38:14.708-04:002010-07-09T19:38:14.708-04:00Thank you for your feedback!
