@ Sarah – Interesting, thanks!

Mainly what I am able to explain to people is that the nipple is NOT a tube and thus piercing cuts that tube off, but rather more like a sponge LOL (followed with a quick description of how milk can kind of go flying everywhere if you’re not careful LOL!) and therefore piercing previous to childbirth does NOT mean you can’t nurse later. I find once I explain the sponge analogy, they get it pretty well. (I also often take that chance to explain that years of nursing can definitely change your *nipples* lol! I like mine better now :-p )

Baby steps!

@ kristen – Oh I’m so glad you saw this! I always worry that people who donate won’t see my ‘thank-you’ within a post, and hey won’t know how much it means to me. So I’m glad you saw it and again, THANK YOU =D

@ Ginger Baker – I agree, opening up a dialogue with people, face to face, is some of the best activism we can do (on any issue, not just breastfeeding)

Also, are your piercings from before you nursed or after? I took mine out when trying to conceive, I was assuming they’d close up. Maybe not?

I never did go to a nurse-in of any sort, I probably missed them while I was at work. This reminds me, I should look up my local LLL and go to a few meetings or such. Put my advocacy into a bit more structure (rather than just my random conversations LOL though in a way those can have as much if not more impact…). Interestingly enough, I find my nipple piercings can often lead into breastfeeding conversations. :-D

It’s so nice to be able to nurse outside a bathroom in public I hope more people give more attetion to it as a natural thing and not a sexual thing gets on my nerves people do… Sorry had a bit of flashbacks lol we’ll just put it this way most places around here don’t even have changing stations let alone enough room to sit and nurse

My Internets were out . . . I am so lost and lonesome without it! Haha. Anyway, I hope you all had a great weekend. =)

Great to see all the pro-breastfeeding comments here! (not that I’m at all surprised)

@ Carolyn – Would love that recipe!

@ Morgan – SO TRUE!

@ Richard – Yay, that’s awesome! Good luck with the brewing!

I was in my towns only real vegan friendly shop and it had some kobucha concentrate, now after reading your post I knew thats not what i wanted so I asked if they had any non concentrate but the guy said no, instead he told me he has a customer with a culture who shares it with all the locals who ask for it and said he’d pass on my number :D

apparently this womans given out lots of baby cultures to people and has started a lil family in the town lol

I suppose I’m still not all the way there, as I just freaking love cheese and I don’t know if I can walk away from it…I just had to comment that yes, it is weird that society can’t see the weirdness!

Ms Sayward, I just wanted to say that I LOVE your geek-out posts on BA. The soaking legumes thing…AWESOME! I want to get back into baking once temps dip back below 100 in Phoenix and would like to try sprouting flour….thanks for the how-to!
