Breastfeeding

Let them know so that they can let you know of existing arrangements or perhaps make arrangements for you. Obviously pulling them out while the graduates are up on stage, not a good idea =P lol

i would buy a ****** pumpand get milk to put in a bottle

Some women are pushing the limits, I saw a woman’s ****** while she was ****** feeding in public, and I don’t think it’s appropriate. If you are going to take your baby to the assembly I would put the ****** milk in a bottle or ask to ****** feed in a private room.

if everyone is in the assembly room, you can probably find a quiet classroom or office. that would probably make your baby happier too! while i fully support ****** feeding and your right to do so where you want, why bother making waves about it? it might be something to bring up at a school board meeting or pta meeting, but distracting from the graduation ceremony really serves no good purpose. good luck

I think breastfeeding is as natural and important as any other aspect of parenting, and feel that you should be allowed to mother your child as you see fit. That being said, and with the situation at the school (knowing they are already squeamish about it), you may want to find a private room where you can nurse for a few minutes, or just drape yourself with a small blanket in the ‘important’ area so you can continue to enjoy the ceremony.

Also, your baby is a part of the family, and should be at the ceremony. If she gets too fussy, you can take her for a walk to settle her down. ***** everyone else if their delicate sensibilities can’t handle the sight and sound of a baby. It’s not a monster for heaven’s sake.

as natural as breastfeeding my be, it has no place in a formal ceremony, you will be pushing peoples patience if the baby cries, if you start breastfeeding forget about the ceremony,,… respect the graduate, go to a private room to do so, i can understand why you as a mother want your baby there and most people can understand it, but, breastfeeding during the ceremony it taking it too far.. i personally would call your attention if you were to do that in a formal ceremony and i where an organizer

Contact the school and ask if there is somewhere private you can go if your baby if the need should arise. Explain that it is highly unlikely she will need a feed as it is not her normal feed time.
Although you are happy to ****** feed anywhere you have to remember a lot of people feel uncomfortable seeing someone ****** feed in public, so you have to respect their feelings. I am also sure it is far better for Mum and baby in a quiet relaxed atmosphere, rather than a noisy crowded area.

I suggest you stay home, that’s not the proper place for it; and I doubt if the people who extended the invitation would want you to do that.

Sometimes you have to draw a line, and I think you need to learn how to do that.

There is a huge variation in the discretion with which women choose to breastfeed. Some are very “in your face” about it and others can do it in a way that you almost don’t notice.

My advice is to ****** feed your daughter as needed – just drape a receiving blanket over the front of you before you begin. Most infants have no problem nursing with a light weight coverlet over them. There is no reason anyone sitting near you needs to see skin. Since your hubby will be with you he can hold the baby while you get situated.
