Open Mouth, insert _____ (part two)

There's a lot of talk on the internet today about Bill Maher's show Friday night.

You can read more about it here (and she provides plenty of more links for you).

I can't believe some of the stuff he says.

I'm not sure how exposed this women was, it's pretty easy to cover yourself while nursing. You don't even need a special blanket or anything. I've tried blankets and cover-up things, but both Quinn didn't like them and now Liam doesn't like them - he tries to pull it off or jerks his head around trying to look at things, so, I just pull my shirt down right to Liams nose/mouth and between him and my shirt there's nothing showing, that is, unless you come right up to me and look. I have yet to nurse in a restaurant and have been more likely to nurse in public with Liam than I was with Quinn (just a higher comfort level, I'm sure). The two places I've nursed that I never thought I would were the ER and a church. That's right - a church - right in the middle of a wedding, but I didn't want the little guy to cry and ruin my cousins wedding.


I do believe a women has a right to nurse wherever/whenever it is that her baby needs her. Personally, I think women should do their best to cover up a bit - just because we're comfortable with what we're doing doesn't mean everyone else in the world is comfortable with it.

Thanks for the link :)

I feel more comfortable with my cover up, and the Little Man is less distracted that way, too.

But, my goodness is Bill Maher a jerk!
