There is no shame for covering up, just as there is no shame for deciding you shouldn't have to.

It's about doing what is best for the mom and baby.Hannah @A Mother in Israelhttp://amotherinisrael.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-5740706070250307922010-07-07T14:45:39.491-04:002010-07-07T14:45:39.491-04:00I applaud your lactivist efforts!

The RGV AP group is 60 members strong and we are very vocal advocates of breastfeeding, gentle discipline and even cloth diapering.

When thinking about how nursing in public is often disapproved of and looked down on, we forget that in some areas, the very act of breastfeeding itself is disapproved of. I think you're doing great to just make the IDEA of breastfeeding accepted where you live!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029296444906951529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-89145740409153004482010-07-05T14:45:02.966-04:002010-07-05T14:45:02.966-04:00You are definitely a lactavist in your own right, ...You are definitely a lactavist in your own right, though not in the same way that moms from other places in the country are.

So much so that when my youngest was in NICU with jaundice, I was told that my breastmilk was poisoning her, that formula is best for sick babies, and that breastmilk starves them. Proof of this was that the babies lost weight. This was by the pediatric consultant and NICU nurses.
