@Jessica – Welcome to the blog! And hooray for your nurse-out! I’m so glad someone is out there doing it this week.

I wish I had found your blog before today – I would LOVE to do a “nurse out” (and I did today in the park with some friends as a celebration of World Breastfeeding Week!). I think it’s an incredible idea. My hubby happened to be with us while we nursed and he was a bit weirded out at first (he’s not nearly as comfortable as he *will* be) but once he realized that other people took little notice (or were positive with smiles and waves) he relaxed. I love your blog!

I know what you mean but I am glad I was one of the commenters. I am also surprised at the posts that get lots of comments on my blog. They are normally just the picture posts, never anything meaningful. I did a few lonely protests this week, most notably BFing in the crowded park, coverless, with hundreds of people around me! Oddly enough, another woman was bfing with a cover behind me. Does that count? But I think you have a loving audience! I know I enjoy your writing immensely. Judging by the comments here, so do lots of people! Kim R.’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday- Fireworks and Babywearing!

@whozat - Don't feel like a jerk. Those Carnival posts take forever to get through! @Jenny - I have noticed you always post on the actual date of the Carnival too. I think I might talk to Elita to see if the instructions for the Carnivals can get sent the day before rather than a few days before. I think it would make a big difference.

Hah! I just found your blog, and subscribed to it, and actually read your carnival post before this one – and left you a comment

I know what you mean – I totally fit the hat too!

In fact, I might be guilty of having expectations regarding my said comment right about now… Hopefully, you WILL like it.

Just read this now Melodie. I was out of town for 5 days when all the internet frenzy with Michael Jackson, Farrah, your carnival was happening Still haven’t read the Carnival post. But to answer your question. YES. I expected a ton more comments on my “Homebirth Isn’t Just For Hippies” post, as well as, others. (You commented – thank you!) But, hey – not many people know about me. I blog for me right now. I woiuld love to reach others and help people make more green changes in their lives. Someday.

I think your idea is a good one. I agree that you should just do it and then blog about it. Sometimes when we write about big ideas it doesn’t prompt a comment. But when action is taken – look out! Go for it! Spread the breast feeding celebration!

I breast fed my son in public all the time. I never got any looks, stares or comments. I was ready for them though! My son will be 2 next week and only nurses in the mornings now. I have been gently weaning but am now holding on to this last special time. Bittersweet growing up.
