Rebecca - That lady sounds like a royal b***h!

I don't cover ever...no matter where I am or who is around. If other moms want to, it's up to them, but I don't see the need. While I don't take my whole shirt off, seriously...why would you? You only use one boob at a time! Unless you're tandem nursing, that is. Although I don't have a problem popping a boob over the neck of my shirt either.

[Ms Rebecca2U]

the mom that i used to have took her shirt off...It was like she was showing her breasts off. It was the attitude!

i remember one time right after I had Sara I had a dress on. for the life of me I could not figure out how to get her a breast. I was at home so I took the whole thing off. We lived out in the country and always left our door unlocked and in walked my friend and her husband and all I had on was my undies and the baby latched on. I about died of embarassment!

[SpiderMum]

Rebecca - Hahaha! I'm surprised I haven't answered the door with a boob out yet.

[Ms Rebecca2U]

Spider have you ever had anyone be rude about you nursing yet? My inlaws didn't like it so I hid in thier office to nurse and the brother inlaw fallowed me in. His wife came in and yelled at both of us like I was kissing him or somthing while I was feeding my baby. Another time I was nursing Summer out on our front porch. I was trying to get sunlight on her to keep her from becoming too jaundiced right after she was born and my hubby's friend showed up and made some rude comment about how he wished he was that baby on the breast. If I hadn't been holding baby Summer I think I would have hit him.

UM Mike just asked me to pee on him during sex eek

[SpiderMum]

Rebecca - Not really...I seem to project a "Don't ******** with me" vibe so I think most people steer clear. The men in my family used to head for the hills when I nursed, but now even my father (who was the worst) doesn't freak out and leave the room anymore. I had told my family up front that I would NOT be hiding away in the back bedroom whenever my kid needed to eat.

I've had one lady try to tell me that the World Health Organizations recommendations about nursing for 2 years are ONLY for people in 3rd world countries. rolleyes She was really rude about it. I've had others insist I'll change my mind about weaning when she gets teeth...um, she already has 6. lol

EDIT: Star - I recommend doing that in the shower only. Less messy.

[Ms Rebecca2U]

Chuckle~Spider always the excepting one.

I wish I had the balls to stand up to my inlaws back then. In their house I honored their wishes. In my house I nursed and didn't care. I would still nurse as I wanted to if I had a baby these days. I miss nursing but the youngest is 10. A little more then I am confortable with LOL. For the most part my kids weaned when they chose to. Some earlier than others.

have you ever nursed anyone elses baby?

[x_RenaStar_x]

Spider - he was messing around stressed i was like omfg you are joking, and he;s like yeah haha

Noah got teeth at 4 months, and nursed until 18 months, only bit me once. I bit him back and he never did it again haha

[Ms Rebecca2U]

Yikes star! I dont' bite kids even if they bite me. Isn't that saying it is ok to bite? I just put the baby down when they bit me. Only took once. Baby wanted milk. bite and milk went away. cause and affect worked well. Older toddlers that bite I ask them to feel their teeth. then I suggest the bite softly on their finger and then harder and tell me if it hurts. I remind them teeth are for eating and I watch for that child frustration signs so I can redirect them and help them find words to say what they communicated in bitting.

Just grabbed your booty Rebecca.

My fiance is beside me, half watching my computer scree nand half watching TV

[x_RenaStar_x]

It was an instinctive thing. He was about 15 months at the time. He didn't cry, he was just sort of stunned.

[x_RenaStar_x]

Ive nursed a friends baby when she was too drunk to do it stressed

[Ms Rebecca2U]

I nursed a friends baby while she was getting radiation treatment. Her daughter was not doing well on formula and was becoming failure to thrive. So I tandem nursed her with my son. It worked really well. I could have done twins easy!

[Ms Rebecca2U]

Hye morgan I was grabbing Spiders! LOL all this booty grabbin!

I have a question. What is the average weight for us women? I have some worries and I just want to make sure. I'm all pretty new to everything because I was never outgoing and didn't learn any of this ahead of time. I hope it is ok to ask this. Is it, right?

it's different for everyone. Usually the doctors go off of height as to what is a good weight. I don't like to listen to them. I think you should be comfortable with yourself without trying to fit guidelines. With that said, if you can't pick yourself off of the couch, maybe you should do something about it. Also if a strong wind makes you seriously lose your balance, and you have to grab something bolted down, that's probably not good either. sweatdrop

Oh, ok. Well I for some reason gained a lot of weight, but I have my father's metabolism and can lose it just as fast as I gained it if I exercise and eat little. I have been trying that and when it didn't work out very well, I just gave up and ate regularly. But now I hardly ever eat. It's like I am not really hungry at some times. I feel like I'm starving myself, but in truth I'm not really hungry at the moment. It's been going on for about a week and a half now and I have no clue whats up. Do preg women lose apitite? I thought the apitite would grow. confused
