Breastfeeding in the News
Monday, October 1st, 2007 | Breastfeeding and Weaning
Keeping abreast of the news*
Breastfeeding may pass on allergies - I don’t know how accurate or how much weight we should put on this (one) study. I do agree with the ABA spokeswoman that in any case allergies, eczema and asthma are on the increase and it’s more likely to be environmental causes. Interesting reading nonetheless.
Breastfeeding mother allowed to take extra breaks for expressing milk during medical exam - I don’t understand the hullabaloo when it comes to breastfeeding. Is she going to write notes on her breasts? Is the pump kitted out with an audio textbook? Any person (note non-specific gender) who has ever had engorged breasts knows that it isn’t really that helpful in terms of memory retention or thinking skills (bar thinking, “Oh mah gah this hurts!”)
Illegal to ban breastfeeding in public places - There is this idea that breastfeeding in public involves nudity and complete abandon of societal norms on modesty and will therefore upset the delicate nature of every person unlucky enough to turn in the direction of the breastfeeding mother. Won’t somebody please think of the children?** Half the time, mothers breastfeed so discretely, you’d hardly know they were doing it at all.
*Do you see what I did just there?
**I did it again just there!

hahaha, you are a riot ;)))) And cute too for pointing it out lol
Ya Haqq!
Newsflash 1 - No, not possible and I’m not even a doctor.
Newsflash 2 - Well, that’s nice. I would like to see more of that.
Newsflash 3 - I’m sorry? Are you sure it was not undercover Nestle-ians working together for the ban? Again, nonsense.
Thanks for the insights.

Brother Irving, you are doing nothing to keep me humble. Carry on! You know, sometimes I have to point out my jokes because they are often times not that funny.
Hijabhaven - I think the problem is not undercover Nestle-ians *dreams of Mint Aero* but those breastfeeding mums not wanting to get under the covers!
