my son, the lactivist :)

in an attempt to express every last bit of milk, i hand express after pumping. today my son saw this and ased what i was doing, while laughing as if it were ridiculous. :]

i responded "im getting some more milks out." he asked "how are you doing that?"

i said "im squeezing it out." he laughed again and said "no mahmee, you gotta pump it out! Pump it! Pump it out! Pump it!" as he said "pump it" he would do a little dance and giggle. he then stopped and staredat me with a deadpan look on his face.

"mahmee. im going to call you "pump out."

i love my son. he is so comfortable with breastfeeding and nourishing my daughter. and he isnt strange about it.

:]

Breastfeeding Acceptance Fail

this upset me so much. it normalizes bottle feeding (which to most conjures mental images of enfamil and similac in those bottles). but i have to laugh it off.

and then focus on a WIN. the WIN? that this place created a safe place for nursing mothers.

im pro breastfeeding, and im pro breastfeeding in EVERY location.

but i personally would MUCH rather have facilities to nurse in. then again im very modest and not graceful with a cover. lol.

since you failed and you won, i give you a C people.
