Is maternity leave fair?

So ... the women get the days off for being pregnant and time to spend with their new baby once he/she is born. What...

KSharpe Yes, it is fair. It is not only for bonding but also for recovery. A woman's body needs to heal. There is also paternity leave, allowed by the Family Medical Leave act. Men do have the right to paid leave for family care, including a new baby.

KSharpe It is absolutely ok to breastfeed in public. Your child needs to eat, people do not need to look. If it was not ok, federal law would not say that it is, and we would not have been given breasts.

I just found out that only 6% of American families breastfeed past 2.

KSharpe Then I guess I'm in that 6% as well. My daughter is 23mos and I don't see her stopping anytime soon. She did take a brief break at 19mos, but started again at 21mos. My son will nurse as long as he wants as well.

Breastfeeding or formula?

SophiesMommy @SophiesMommy (1288) • United States 16 Sep 06

Do you think that a woman SHOULD breastfeed only or do you think formula is alright too?

KSharpe Sophies mommy ~ I noticed that you said you can't pump any, but that doesn't mean you don't make enough. I wasn't able to pump with my daughter, but I made plenty of milk. I have a 22mos old who has never had formula that is living proof. The best way to...

As a newborn mom would you rather want gifts or money

Lauraleigh99 @Lauraleigh99 (4718) • United States 22 Oct 06

I have a friends baby shower to go to in a month. Is it better to buy clothes, toys, etc... or just to give the mom a gift certificate somewhere to get stuff themselves

KSharpe I agree with the gift card. I know it's fun to shop for a baby, but sometimes specific things they want or need. If they are registered, get a gift card for that store. If not, get one for the store that will allow them the most variety.

If you don't like it then put a blanket over your head or go eat in the bathroom

I am tired of the nasty looks and rude comments people give to me when I nurse my baby in public. It's not like I am exposing my boobs to the entire world. I am discreet. Why are people so rude? What are

KSharpe It seems that everyone had the same oppinion on this matter. There is nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public. If there is, then bottlefeeding should be wrong too. What about babies who will not take a bottle? Should we let them starve? I noticed that you...

KSharpe I absolutely "believe" in breast feeding. Right now I am nursing a 22mos and a 3wk old. I "believe" (know) that you should breastfeed because it is the best for your child. DO you eat fake food? Do you get your veggies from a lab? Then why would you give your...

zahir_dk @zahir_dk (1693) • India 14 Sep 06

I don’t think so no. I have to go on every night even if I have nothing to do on it or anyone to talk to lol. I guess it’s a bad habit.

KSharpe I suppose I could. I've had to deal with a broken computer or connection, so I've lived without it before. The longer you are without it the easier it gets!

KSharpe I used to, but a lot has changed in my life and family. I really need to start praying again, not just before dinner. Great topic, makes one think about the important things.
