    MomRN0913 replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    MomRN0913 replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, yes, yes. Which is why neither has to be shown to kids of sesame street age. It's a personal decision that can be addressed when they are ready to bear children. Sex ed isn't only sex ed,...

  6. Sesame Street Breastfeeding: Moms Push To Bring Nursing Back To TV Show

    MomRN0913 replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    MomRN0913 replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    MomRN0913 replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing
