The Worst thing about breastfeeding

It turns out the worst thing about breastfeeding is not the pain when baby's not attached properly, it's not the lack of sleep, or trying to find time to work, or go to a movie, or (God forbid!) get a haircut between feeds. Nope, the worst thing about breastfeeding is not being able to take cold medication. Runny noses are so middle ages! I miss being able to pop a couple of tablets and 'soldier on'

On the subject of breastfeeding, how cool is this!

*** Indiscreet Breastfeeding Manifesto***

I will nurse my child anytime, anywhere, no matter who is present or what I am wearing.
I will bare my breast with pride and confidence.
I will not apologize for nourishing and nurturing my child.
I will not smother my child with a napkin or blanket.
I will smile at everyone around me and ignore rude stares.
I will know that I am giving my child the perfect infant food from the most efficient, ecological, and economical delivery system.
I will know that I am giving my child the healthy start that is his or her birthright.
I will set an example for women and girls, educate the public, dispel breastfeeding myths, de-sexualize the breast, and make the world a better place, all through the simple act of feeding my child.

You gotta love that strength of conviction - makes me smile whenever I read it...
