I don't really care one way or other on the issue I'm just bored at the moment...but there are multiple solutions to every problem and actions can be taken to prevent problems. I'm no expert, but breast milk can be put in bottles and stored. Regarding milk going bad, you have four hrs of food being in the 'danger zone' before you even need to start worry about break down. Have you seen the size of those diaper bags? I've seen mothers so prepared they have a solution to anthing in those bags. I'm pretty sure they carry a complete tool set at times. |

Figure each time she travels there is one layover. So thats 4 flights on one round trip. Leading to 6 trips in almost 2 years. Its not common, but still reasonable. |

Which, she very well may not have been. |

I think the next time I see a guy with a comb-over head I'm going to ask the attendant to ask him to cover his head - it offends my good grooming sensibilities. |

| Extreme Veteran 465 | Subject: RE: "Breasts - Not just for selling cars anymore." I wonder why my sister gives my dad, (who is totally normal in every sense of the way), or any man in the room for that matter a heads up before she starts to breast feed in front of them. As in, "Dad, you may want to leave for a sec while I get situated here."? I believe The flight attendent handled it wrong, but who is to say the lady was sitting next to an older man who was visibly uncomfortable? Could she not make a scrunched up blanket wall on her chest area, where the baby's head is not covered, but someone right next to her could not see directly. Anybody who has breast fed or watched knows that it is rarely (especially as they get older) *covered up breast *momentarily exposed, baby latches *baby nurses *momentarily exposed while baby unlatches *covered up breast It's more like *covered up breast *expose breast while wriggly baby looks around, act not interested, then interested, then not, then ok, while you squeeze your nipple(which if you are not used to seeing a breast feeding nipple is HUGE) around in the baby's mouth, baby finally latches on. *something distracts baby, exposed boob, latches back on...repeat several times. *burp then repeat above steps *baby finally done, and breast is then covered. I don't know, maybe this lady just finally had enough of the anti breast feeding people out there and she just was not going to take it anymore. I guess I would of handled it differently, like take the blanket, with a glare and get on with it, a complaint at the end. Edited by shadowfax 2006-11-21 2:38 PM |

| Elite 2768 Raleigh | Subject: RE: "Breasts - Not just for selling cars anymore." . You haven't responded to my comment about having someone walk up to you in a restaurant and asking you to cover up, or to Jim's question as to whether you've tried to eat with a blanket over your head. I can attest to that, I myself have tried to eat with a blanket over my head and I agree it gets hot down there... oh wait not the same, carry on... |

Had you read the OP or the article, you would see that she was sitting in the back of the airplane next to her husband. No reports that her husband was uncomfortable with his wife feeding his child. shadowfax - 2006-11-21 3:36 PM I don't know, maybe this lady just finally had enough of the anti breast feeding people out there and she just was not going to take it anymore.

Yes I read the article, I guess so much info, speculation is flying around that I forgot. Which now makes it even weirder. I still would of took the blanket with a glare no less and complained. There still is that third seat, (I don't know, did they mention who was in the third seat, her daughter perhaps?). Edited by shadowfax 2006-11-21 2:42 PM |

Hayes, the problem here does not rest with the hungry child and her mother. If there is discomfort with public breastfeeding, then it's the culture that has the problem, not the family. Also, one important thing to remember about breastfeeding. There's more going on than simply giving the baby nutrition. There is a bonding happening, a bonding that is continually renewed everytime a baby nurses. It's good for everyone else in the culture that this mother/child bonding takes place. Everyone benefits from it. Children are not pets. They are not nuisances. They are not burdens. They are us. They have particular needs, just like we all have particular needs. |
