breastfeeding
Monday, Oct. 28, 2002
This morning on the radio on the way to work there was a news story�
�woman is told to stop breastfeeding in library because there is no food or drink allowed in the library�
Bucky looked over at me and said, �Mommy what is breastfeeding?�
me �well�.that means that a mother is allowing her baby to feed from her breast. When you have a baby your breasts fill with milk so you can provide nutrition to your child. Remember how Nikki fed her puppies?�
Bucky (alarmed look on face) �Yes.�
*pause*
Bucky �can boys feed babies too?�
me �no, they can�t. God made woman to have baby�s and provide for them nutritionally.�
Bucky �I had a bottle though, I saw it in lots of pictures.�
me �yes you had a bottle, I couldn�t breastfeed you because you had to stay in the hospital for a week because you were sick, remember?�
Bucky �I�m glad I was sick!�
*joint laughter*
*long pause*
Bucky �so all girls have to carry all that milk around?�
me �no only women that just had a baby�
*pause*
Bucky �are all cows girls having baby cows?�
Tomorrow I�m going to put my Replacements CD on. Once the questions start�you�re in trouble. lol On second thought, no I�m not. I love talking to my kid more than I like to do anything else in life. BTW..that librarian is messed up.
