    NIN Project

    I'm going to participate in a project called "Nursing Is Normal" by Kathy O'Brien. Here's the website:
    http://www.kathyobrien.org/NINgallery.htm

    Basically, it's to show that nursing in public is nothing to be ashamed of, and most of the time, you can't even see anything. It's something that I'm very passionate about.

    In my breastfeeding circles, I read about how a mom was harassed for nursing in public at least once a week. It's very disheartening that people see a baby eating as offensive, or they compare it to: urinating, defecating and even fornicating. I'm tired of other people's comfort being put in the hands of the nursing mom, when all she's trying to do is taking care of her children.

    So, I want to participate in this project. She will just photograph me, doing my daily business and nursing. I hope this shows people that nursing in public, and nursing in general is nothing shameful, and moms don't have to be hidden away because they choose to nurse their babies/children.

    Anyway, I'm going to go feed myself, while hiding away in my livingroom while I watch People's Court.

      That is great!! I had such anxieties feeding my middle daughter and then when I was preggo with my third I met a lot of wonderful women that showed me it was OK to nurse in public and NOT have to cover up!!!
