My sister-in-law visited from Germany when her son was an infant. I picked her up at the airport and she was unsure how to breast feed him. She said in Germany she'd just pop out a breast and feed him. But she'd been told we Americans didn't do that. She wanted to know should she go somewhere private to feed him. I showed her the ole' receiving blanket over the shoulder/boob/babys head trick. She said she felt more embarrassed that way then if she'd been at home and did it her way.



Scotz, I remember an older bachelor cousin bending down to kiss the baby on the head and then realizing I was nursing her (nothing showed and it looked like I was just holding her in my arms) Poor guy was so embarassed, he didn't know what to say or do.
