It meant that if I wanted to be "dressed-up", it involved wearing skirts and tops rather than dresses for a few years, but that was no great sacrifice! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883258360959477861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790525692098837306.post-55106328000270850562014-10-07T07:53:44.086-07:002014-10-07T07:53:44.086-07:00Thank you.

And Yes, I agree about the women who have to let it all hang out. They really do ruin it for everyone else. And when nursing I do consider my wardrobe more as I don't want to have to pull something down and reveal my whole chest!

In all honestly, I'll probably cover in the beginning with my second daughter as it is awkward in the beginning but once we get the hang of it it will be what works best for us. Also, I think nursing in public, however it works for you, helps normalize it.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for visiting:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883258360959477861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790525692098837306.post-89983111230936069522014-10-07T07:46:48.687-07:002014-10-07T07:46:48.687-07:00:):)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883258360959477861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790525692098837306.post-31811546941265983182014-10-06T20:31:07.227-07:002014-10-06T20:31:07.227-07:00Amen and AmenAmen and AmenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883258360959477861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790525692098837306.post-62290976508131006622014-10-04T07:39:47.344-07:002014-10-04T07:39:47.344-07:00I've never been directly confronted except whe...I've never been directly confronted except when I was completely uncovered (around other nursing moms) and one of the women's husbands walked in and the wife ushered him out.
