I am not a closet nurser. I have had problems with friends talking behind my back due to the fact I live SD where its very conservitive. I made a post about how it bothered me. I then had people say they were closet nursers. I find it very sad that our socity has made this an issue. It made me realize I wanted to know as much as I could about mom nursing past 6 mo. I was thinking I would work ona book made up of stories on troubles people have had and how moms become closet nursers so people know they are not alone when secretly nursing. I nursed my son till he stopped at alittle after three. I felt fine doing this if he got hurt or at friends houses. I found out people would ask my good friend about it. I looked into it realizing I was the only one who breastfed past 6mo out of my close friends I made two friends who have breastfed longer than that. It made me sad. It was bonding time that people see as something sick. I don't get it.
i nursed on demand, so it was when ever ds needed it.
ds nursed until he was 3 yrs 3 months and 27 days old. i just dont get others peoples gross views on nursing. i tell them, shut up get over it or go away!
I voted 3 and up because I nursed my son in public a handful of times in the last year. Now, he is 4 and only nurses at home and usually in bed. I was never a "closet" nurser. He just doesn't need to nurse when we are out anymore.
I've NIP a couple times, other than a couple guys gawking from their car, no one said or did anything, atleast that I could notice lol.
I voted 6-12 months because my babe is 8 months. We will NIP until she is like 2 maybe...idk.
My LO is only 6 weeks and I just started nursing in public. I will continue to do so as long as she wants too!
Have any of you had problems with people saying things. I had a friend from down south that told me if I nursed on the street unclovered I could get arrested. She is a cop and was unsure what another cop would do.
In ER with baby
