I loved that! I actually asked my DH the other day if he would wear a t shirt with the breastfeeding symbol on it and he said, sure... he's the one who writes letters to companies whenever someone is berated/threatened for NIP....

I died laughing at the "If breastfeeding is sexual..." comment! LOVE it!

I like this one because of the last part:

Quote:
Covering for breastfeeding to you means making sure your belly, back and sides are covered but you don't worry about who may catch a brief glimpse of a little b@@b. In fact, you have mixed feelings about breastfeeding covers. Whatever helps a woman feed her baby is great but should we be hiding breastfeeding? It's complicated and you're just happy for breastfeeding in public at all. Personally, you just don't want your flab showing.
That's so me! I'd nurse top down first just so my PP Tummy didn't show!

That was a great read. WRT this one:

Quote:
You have downloaded and printed or purchased "Thank you for breastfeeding in public" cards to hand out to breastfeeding moms you spot while out and about. And you use them too. There are some in your purse, your glove box, your diaper bag, the back pocket of your jeans, and your kids backpack. You consider it a good day if you got to hand out a few at the mall

Is that a real thing people do? I've never heard of it. I would have loved to get one of those, I was always very shy about NIP and the encouragement would have been nice. Although I think there are probably moms who would be puzzled or even annoyed by that. I would love to hear if anyone has any firsthand experience with those cards.

I do give out "breastfeeding bingo" cards to new moms, those always go over with a laugh.

Is this posted anywhere else? The link won't open, maybe the name of the page is "too offensive" (welcome to China)?

It's a blogspot link and I believe the PRC has blocked that. I could try and PM you the article.

Thanks, OP. I could definitely see myself there.
I tried several sites for the NIP cards but they wouldn't open for me. (Again, probably due to our local internet connection...)

Haha! My husband said one night over beers, Can we Not talk about breastfeeding, breastpumps or breastmilk for just 30 minutes?
