Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[Dierdre Bowman]

Don't Think it ends when they go to school.  If my 13 year old or 11 year
old boys want something and I'm on the loo, they still come to the door and
want to exchange conversation.  I'm convinced it never stops.
The word mother means, NO PRIVATE LIFE. Not even the loo.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[Cheryl LHK]

Thanks Maureen - I'm glad that I'm not the only one that has to BF, 
potty-train, dress kids etc whilst trying to sit on the loo myself.  when do 
they ever leave you in the loo by yourself??  Until all three are at school 
??

And I'm really dismayed by the public perception (still) of BF.  I must have 
been so fortunate, I don't think I've had a single negative comment or 
disapproving look in the total of 2 yrs that I breastfed my three little 
ones.  And my neices (who were all bottlefed) became VERY educated rather 
quickly.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[jayne]

I was attending the church service of my uncle's funeral.  My 4month old
started to get fussy and I started to stand to leave the church with her
when the minister boomed "Don't you dare leave!  You are welcome to feed
your baby here"!  He had seen me at the front of the church earlier
breastfeeding.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[Ron & Nicole Christensen]

woohoo Rhonda!!!
I have an update on me breastfeeding in public.
this morning I was back in Penrith (same place I was booed and hissed at 
for breastfeeding baby on Sunday!), this time looking for a watch for my 
Birthday I ended up in one jewellery shop - baby in sling AND 
breastfeeding... whilst the young-ish sales girl had to try all these watches on 
my wrist (as it was too awkward for me to do it with both hands - baby in sling; 
the height of the counter and keeping my toddler sitting in the pram!!). My 
baby kept coming off the boob, so had to keep pausing to re-attach him! The 
sales girl never batted an eyelid.
Needless to say - I gave them some business - and bought my watch 
from them!!!
 
cheers,
Nicole

Well, having my own shop I used to sit/or stand and serve customers 
while feeding - sometimes getting them to "help themselves" to the 
jewellery that they wanted.  Then fumbling change one handed to 
them or I would just serve them and answer questions etc  -  I 
never once had anybody complain or even look twice.  I guess as our 
shop is really relaxed and being body piercing - the only question about 
feeding in the shop that I ever got was - "Do you have your nipples 
pierced?"
 
I never mastered doing a piercing while breast feeding 
though.  Just had to put him down for that one. Generally had so 
many happy customers and even passers by who wanted to give him a cuddle 
that it was never a problem though.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[megan davidson]

I do that now!! Whilst shopping at spotlight yesterday my mum overheard me
say to Lailah (2 months) that she could have a feed whilst we did this
shopping and that way she would not be unhappy on the way home. My Mum then
said how different I was to my sister, who is also BF a newborn, in that she
would find a quiter place to sit and then use a shawl as a cover. I on the
other hand whilst being proud of my sisters BFing, believe in the active
persuit of desensitisation of the "civilised" society, towards BFing.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[Ron & Nicole Christensen]

Lesley - I love it!!!
It's amazing how talented us women are!! I can't imagine my husband trying
to do what we do (if he could breastfeed, that is) ie. calming the baby,
whilst doing the shopping, whilst thinking about what we should have for
dinner that night, whilst keeping one eye on your roming toddler; whilst
comparing prices on a can of chick peas ... (and the list goes on!!)
he he he!!!

I used to breastfeed mine (one-handed) while pushing a supermarket trolley
around doing the weekly shop! I even managed to continue at the check-out by
passing up one item at a time from the trolley to the conveyor belt. Not
conventional or restful but when you have 4 small children things just have
to be done!

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[Pinky McKay]

Hi Cas, God on you -that's what god made breasts for!

Reminds me when I was at a nieces wedding and a tiny bub in front of us
began to cry, parents were obviously not about to BF in church -James then 2
said in a very loud voice - "Mummy, the baby wants a booby" I later
discovered we were sitting directly in front of the person who was taping
teh service - my brotherinlaw, father of the bride was quite bemused - my
kids were the first on my husbands side of the family to be breastfed.

I feel very strongly about the breast feeding in public issue as well.

I can't WAIT to do it myself!  No wonder some people have so much
trouble breastfeeding - it's not considered normal enough to do infront
of people, so how do they know how to do it and how to fix the common
problems with it?

I could be on my high horse for hours about this, but I'll jump off
before I start galloping away :)

Breastfeeding is just so important, and anyone who tries to tell me not
to do it will cop an earful! :)

[ozmidwifery] Fw:(WOW) birth and breastfeeding attitudes

[Debbie Field]

Wowwhat an amazing reaction from another woman.
My take on this is that she must have had a very sheltered upbringing.
I can only feel for this woman as her experience is very different from the
beauty i see in this wonderful act of love.

There seems to have been a period of time when acts of beauty such as
breastfeeding and natural birthing was put behind closed doors...even locked
in the cupboard at some homes it seems.

I absolutely love breastfeeding my daughter and i do so out and about as she
needs it. (no feeding schedule in my books). Sometimes i even forget it is
happening and then suddenly she has finished and i am sitting at a cafe with
some friends and my nipple is enjoying a lovely ray of sunshine. This makes
me giggle even writing this!

My bubs is now 12 months old and i intend to support her physically and
emotionally with breastfeeding for a long time.
I imagine i will be up for some interesting looks and comments in the
future. However i am proud to go with my inner knowing. And i am proud to
lead from the frontpardon the pun.

Breastfeeding or Bust
Have a great day all!
