Donut? <br /><br />I do watch LOST. Does it remind you of the little robot that comes out at the end?!?!? Funny.

Although the truth is, you have made such a strong bond that he doesn't need that part of it anymore, you have made something great.

I nursed Levi until a few weeks ago. I was glad to be able to nurse him so long and for the nursing relationship to end naturally.

A veces pienso que es mejor darle de un solo pecho, que dejar que llore y todos alrededor se enteren de lo que estamos haciendo. <br /><br />Audrey me dice "chichita" en español ( :<br /><br /><br /><br />latinaish,<br /><br />I love that more and more employers are providing these benefits to working mothers. I myself, work full time, luckily at a hospital and was fortunate they lent me a hospital grade pump to keep on my unit, I didn't have much time to go to the lactation room, so would sneak into an empty room or office. <br /><br />The lactation room for visitors and employees is perfect and I hope more worksites start making these.Marcelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702257157855111425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548159524541638331.post-3447156225248334472010-04-26T18:20:37.897-07:002010-04-26T18:20:37.897-07:00I had so much difficulty breastfeeding my first so...I had so much difficulty breastfeeding my first son that I didn't even attempt it with my second, but I totally respect those who feed their children in public. Like you said, it's natural and there shouldn't be a stigma. The more you and other mothers bravely feed your children without worrying about others judgments, hopefully the more accepted it will become. <br /><br />On a related note, a couple weeks ago I saw that the new Healthcare Law mandates that all employer's must provide a private breastfeeding room for working mothers who need to express milk during the day. (And the public bathroom doesn't count!) ... No matter your politics, I thought that particular law was a big win for women and mothers.<br /><br />Your cipotes are adorable, by the way :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548159524541638331.post-56717893255294289112010-04-26T16:26:29.340-07:002010-04-26T16:26:29.340-07:00Ay, me suena familiar, Lola todavía toma tetita, c...Ay, me suena familiar, Lola todavía toma tetita, como ella dice ;·) y también está a punto de cumplir dos años... Te entiendo perfectamente, a mi empieza también a darme apuro a veces darle pecho en público... pero otras pienso ¡qué tontería!, ¿por qué me tengo que agobiar por lo que piense la gente?. <br />Además, cuando estas pequeñas quieren desesperadamente, casi que no hay otra salida, ¿verdad?. Lola empieza a decir ¡quiero tetita! y te puedo prometer que se entera toda la gente que haya alrededor.Lolahttp://www.enelpaisdelashadas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548159524541638331.post-12957073609770419922010-04-26T12:44:39.767-07:002010-04-26T12:44:39.767-07:00Marcela,

We don't flip when we see a mammal feeding their young, but somehow it becomes unnatural when we humans do it in public.<br /><br />BTW, kudos for not taking the easy way out!Catalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195267658922590712noreply@blogger.com
