  1. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Then we have more in common than we thought. Once again, MY point is that the breastfeeding -is -natural -therefore -it -should -be- acceptable -by- ALL -people is an invalid argument. Something...

  2. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    Q. replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wisconsin here. I make 72k a year, (salaried, so no overtime though I work more than 40hrs/week) but this income now FINALLY after 8 years experience and one thesis away from a master's degree. My...

  3. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I know your POV. My comment about the "natural" defense comes up in relation to you because I'm responding to your statement that you don't understand the urination argument. I use the urination...

  4. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I think breast milk banks (where breast milk is screened BTW) and a stranger breastfeeding a 2 year old who doesn't rely on BM for nutrition are two distinctly different

  5. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    sure, but the baby was also on table food and didn't rely on breastmilk as it sole and/or primary nutritive source. and the mother was able to provide her own breastmilk, she just chose not to do

  6. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    You know, if we really wanted to make the debate interesting, on a Parents of Multiples board that I visit, someone posted about their neighbor who left their 1.5 year old with a friend overnight....

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    And the "but BFing is NATURAL!" is a weak argument to

  8. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    That's my point. No, you don't need to explain why urine needs to be flushed away, just like you don't need to explain why we handle breast milk with standard precautions like we do all human body...

  9. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, but public urination is illegal BECAUSE it's unacceptable. And why is it unhygenic? Because its a body fluid? Isn't that what breast milk is, a body fluid? We certainly treat it as such in...

  10. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    But this is assuming that the SAME people who don't have a problem with scantily clad women are the same people who are uncomfortable with BF openly in public. For all we know, the SAME people who...

  11. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: As far as urination having anything to do with BF, that has to do with the defense that BF is "natural" therefore it should be allowed in public. Being "natural" imo isn't a good defense...

  12. Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

    Q. replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Most often, especially when I post, the next reply will be "how long have you been a nurse and out of school?" as if that matters what my opinion is. I am 32 but still look quite young. I...

  13. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    From the article: This is where I think a line may exist. Laws ARE in place ~ in essence, breastfeeding mothers are protected from being forcibly removed from a public place, etc. The law is...

  14. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. However, are we talking TV or real life here? I thought the issue was BFing women IN PUBLIC, not on TV. So I'm sorry to me, your post makes absolutely no sense. Okay, when I posted I...

  15. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Well, to be specific, we urinate from that area and that is quite essential, imo!!

  16. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    The difference is that if I went to Applebee's Restaurant or out to go Christmas shopping at Toys R Us, I wouldn't be seeing your first photo. (especially here where it's only 5 degrees!) I'm sure...

  17. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Well, my kids are both 7 months old and are bottle fed so right now they don't even know what a breast is! As far as the BF in restaurants, I'm only speculating here, but perhaps that whole thing has...

  19. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Deb, you missed the point completely. My comparison to Janet Jackson was in relation to exposure of a breast that was a surprise and how that upset people because they weren't prepared for said...

  21. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Um, I referred to Janet Jackson's BOOB during SuperBowl. That was definitely a boob and not a breastfeeding breast. So I agree with your

  22. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I think when she said "unless you're trying to stir things up" she meant you in the general sense. I think we need to clarify here, there are 3 camps: *Those who don't like breastfeeding PERIOD *Those...

  23. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Sure. But certain things in public are a given and I can deal with. I DON'T expect to see a couple copulating at the mall, therefore I feel comfortable taking my kids there. I DON'T expect to see...

  24. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle No, but I wish you did. I think though we can draw the line at exposed "private" parts. I just don't want to see boob or nipple, breastfeeding or

  25. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    On that DAY. That MOMENT. I never said I didn't want them to learn about it, but maybe I didn't want them learning about it THEN AND NOW. Maybe I felt at that given time it was inappropriate for...
