Kelly stopped nursing at a month because she was jealous and didn't get any holding or bonding.. Idiocy at it's finest..

i'm taping it to watch later!

 

[nitareality]

I guess I should be "glass half full" :LOL Merediths comments were fabulous! I can't wait until tomorrow...

 

[nitareality]

I think it was more like "I put a stop to that" at about a month yadda yadda.

I don't have the exact quote. I actually shook my head like in the cartoons when people are trying to make sure they're hearing right. :LOL

Rosie also said the women did the nurse-in because of hormones! I hate any time a women does something it is because of hormones!

Barbara was on the phone saying that all she said was she thought it made the man next to her uncomfortable, not her... hmmmm not how I remember it.

: I am going to see if anyone got the transcripts to quote her.

They are waiting until tomorrow so Star and Barbara can be there.

I am wondering how this will pan out.

Here's my take (and keep in mind I never watch the view cause I just can't stand these women).

I think that they backpedalled pretty good. Poor Elisabeth looked really uncomfortable. I bet she didn't think how she chose to feed her baby would cause such an uproar. She really kept her mouth shut and looked a bit irritatd when her lactation was brought up. I felt like Joy put words in her mouth about how uncomfortable it made her (Elisabeth) and she just weakly said "it's hard".

Meredith was very supportive and the only one who seemed to understand that this was an issue about NIP not just breastfeeding. Of course most people are supportive of BF, but many think women should hide away to do it. Still didn't understand her BF a monkey bit

but at least she seems smart. I guess the question is: would she BF a monkey in Public???

Joy didn't say much, except to hear herself talk. Nothing too overly offensive. Just plain old annoying.

I saved the best for last. Rosie is an absolute idiot!! What a freaking dolt. Has she ever heard of a breast pump? Too bad her wife doesn't have a mind of her own. She seemed very defensive and very ill-informed.

Overall the only one who got it was Meredith. She understood what the nurse in was about. Hopefully tomorrow, the actual issue will be discussed. Just my take.

I followed the link to the news articles and oh how I hate that Round Rock restaurant guy:

Quote:

"It's nothing against breast-feeding, it's about exposing yourself for people who don't want to see it," said Scotty Stroup, the owner of a restaurant in Round Rock, Tex., where a nursing mother was refused service last fall.

There are so many women who breastfeed in Austin (Round Rock is a northern suburb of Austin). AND, Texas is breastfeeding friendly in the workplace. He needs to go hide in the bathroom to eat his dinner.
I really like the analogy to people's discomfort at seeing inter-racial or homosexual couples holding hands in public. No. It doesn't need to be done only behind closed doors. Get used to it, America and keep your body issues to yourself when in public.

Too bad Meredith isn't going to be there tomorrow and a big thumbs down to Rosie. She actually said she "cut her off" after a month like she made her quit. Sad! Her whole we have a choice in the United States of America was lame. They said Madonna is a guest tomorrow and Rosie said Madonna only bf for a short time so it will be interesting to see her take as well.

my thoughts EXACTLY!

 

[AmandaBL]

I HOPE she felt uncomfortable. I'm sick to death of "their" public stupidity influencing others who in turn try and make ME fee uncomfortable for NIP. I think their SPEAKING in public is more offensive than all the NIP any of us could do. It's great to see the tables turned for once.

Or a nursing supplementer? She could have nursed her baby too if she wanted to.

Although it seems to me that Rosie O'Donell probably has body image issues and that would just be to weird for her. Too bad.
