NIP on 2nd grade field trip!  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
not sure if this belongs here or not, but i wanted to share a cute story & knew you ladies would appreciate it. we went on dd1's field trip to the zoo today & i had dd2 in a wrap & she was nursing. of course all the kids wanted to see the baby & one little boy piped up "She's drinking her milk guys! don't you know it's not polite to interrupt someone's lunch!" at which point all these kids started telling me "I drank milk from my mom's boobs" or "My baby brother is nursing too." type things & it totally warmed my heart! not one rude comment or "grooosss" like i would have thought from a bunch of 7 & 8 year olds....then i started thinking....if BF'ing is what children perceive as normal & they don't think twice about it, why do some adults? hmmm. i just wanted to share as i thought it was encouraging.

That is so cute, aren't kids so smart, they DO know what is best!!!!
We homeschool and I can only think of one time there has ever been a baby given a bottle at any of our events in the past few years, and he was a foster baby..

That's a great story - thanks for sharing! I've noticed that kids tend to see BF as totally normal, or as a neat curiosity, unless their parents have instilled some "BF is gross/wrong" notions.

what a sweet story! i love those kind of nip stories!!

when i was pregnant with ds i was working as a nanny...the little girl was 4.5 years old and we had a very close relationship...she was SOOOO excited that I was having a baby...one day she was telling me that she was going to help me take care of my baby when s/he was born...she said "i can help change your baby's diapers and i can play with your baby and i can feed your baby" I told her that she could help take care of the baby in a lot of ways but that when babies are little only their moms can feed them...she smiled knowingly and said with a sly grin "yeah...from the boobs" and pointed to her chest... It was so cute..after that she took to nursing her baby dolls...
