It ticks me off, though, that things no one would second guess *me* on are enough to get my DH's "foster cousin's" kids put into foster care (has happened before). But *that* is another kettle o fish.
This is a really important point, and it's why I'm actually inclined to push myself to keep nip if I start to feel uncomfortable. I want nursing to be normalized, ya know? so people who are less powerful are less vulnerable to being messed with by the state for doing what'sright for their family.

My dd is only 26 months, and I haven't felt uncomfortable nip so far. I think BIL was a little uncomfortable, :LOL but that's not my problem.
