Sesame Street videos
Ok, this is my first response to anything on the net.  I read a recent article on yahoo regarding Sesame Street addressing breastfeeding.  I watched the comments and all of the stupid comments out there were awful.  Now I only tried to breastfeed a few times in public, because honestly I did not have the hang of keeping myself covered.  I didn't have one of those neat nursing covers.  Maybe I should have!  Thinking back, and I know this gets a little tmi, but there were times I nursed on the toilet!!  Can you imagine?  I, of course, pulled down my pants because I did not want them to get all wet.  Sitting on a toilet seat in my jeans just didn't seem like a good idea.  Then imagine having to sit there and nurse a baby in cramped quarters which stink and sounds coming from the next stall over that are not appetizing or helpful in relaxation with my baby.  I won't go into how I had to go in a week after having my daughter to fire someone.  My bosses wouldn't let me out of it.  I'm not sure I can describe the stress I went through at that job.  I barely had enough milk for my dear daughter!   The stress of trying to juggle other parts of life and nursing a newborn can be hard on a girl, which is why people need to get over it and leave a poor momma alone.  We're just trying to do the best for our babies ok?  So in response to the yahoo article, I made my own little banner.  Most of the arguing was regarding women taking their breastfeeding into the public restroom.  So, here is my response.  Yeah, I know I'm not artistic, but it gets the point across.
