Nursing in church...

I'll admit, I don't get the "big deal" about nursing in church.  I have always figured it is far more disruptive to traipse from our* front-row pew with angry baby than to sit and nurse.  My general get-up is camisole under my shirt, pulled down, with my shirt pulled up.  If somebody behind me stands up then they might see baby's nose and my shirt....but they should be looking ahead or have eyes closed in prayer. With a really tiny baby I might employ a blanket or sling. Here's what you're going to see:

*We have, as traditional Lutherans, staked out our own pew.  We have a whole box of tissues for the many little noses, and our Children's Hymnal. Contrary to tradition it happens to be in the front row. In the interest of full disclosure, our pastor has been asked (by an innocent third party, not myself) if there have been problems with immodest nursing...not in his experience.

"These cheeks aren't going to grow themselves!"

Last weekend we happened to have Adriane visiting our congregation; I was tempted to ask her to critique my technique but decided that probably wasn't "putting the best construction on everything".  :)
