The beauty of nursing your child

I just don’t get it. This article states that 25% of all BabyTalk readers were offended by the cover picture of a boob and a baby nursing on it. It is called “BabyTalk” for crying out loud. What the hell do you think is going to be on the cover? Strategic missiles? Nursing is what some babies do. I found the picture gorgeous and it made me wistful and sad that my nursing experience was coming to an end (or so I thought….Miss Mimi has been on a 60 hour binge that has reestablished my supply and now I am not sure what is happening?)

The blogshpere, in its usual flair, has taken it and run with it! Go bloggers! Kateri has a hilarious entry about it here in which she says; “Want to make a statement? Leave this indecency where your children might see it. Want to be a real rebel? Post your own indiscreet nursing picture.”

So, I will.

If 25% of BabyTalk readers are offended by seeing an infant and a boobie, then I will take it one step farther and post todays photos of my 2 1/2 year old, nursing toddler in all her glory. Behold America, the boobie and **gasp** a toddler nursing on it:

Nursing, 2 1/2 years old.

Is that not a beautiful thing? I thank God for giving me the opportunity to nurse all 4 of my children. It has been a pleasure and every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be.
