Thanks for sharing this great article. I never got the hang of nursing in the sling, but definitely got over my reluctance to nurse in Mass by the time I got to #5!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-57992404052070276562008-03-27T18:27:00.000-04:002008-03-27T18:27:00.000-04:00When I nurse the baby at Mass, sometimes I think about how Mary must have nursed baby Jesus the same way. I am much more relaxed about it now. With the first it was agonizing to nurse in church, then with the twins it seemed like I was always nursing no matter where I was, so I just got used to it. Now I don't really care what anyone else might think if they see me nursing, and my baby is a loud nurser. I do try to be extra careful about "coverage" at Mass, esp. if there are any males around!<BR/><BR/>JanetDan and Janet Brungardthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04961386117975398826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-87131564894296095652008-03-25T07:39:00.000-04:002008-03-25T07:39:00.000-04:00Kate, when I nurse in the church, in the Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, I always feel like this vocation of motherhood is, well, more special somehow. It makes it all worth it to me, to be able to gaze up at Him - during Mass or during Adoration (we have some all day Adoration in our parish and I've had to cover at the last minute) - and imagine how short Mary's time holding Him was. This is a beautiful reflection and a wonderful article by Christopher West (one of my favy-fave authors!). :)Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05682511477646768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-62057318146921426362008-03-24T16:19:00.000-04:002008-03-24T16:19:00.000-04:00I nursed my son in church once and he hadn't latched on properly, which led to a LOUD sucking sound being broadcast through the church! It was hilarious and embarrassing, but I survived. A friend of mine tried to nurse in church and someone turned around and asked her to leave. It's really too bad. You are right on here!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15196264677086881776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-41232885976010859612008-03-24T14:57:00.000-04:002008-03-24T14:57:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting Christopher West's article. I really like reading anything by him and your post is great. I nurse anywhere.. except during Mass. It has recently come to my attention as to why I do this.. and after reading your post I just might have to pray and think about it even more. I love the idea of the modest mum nursing cover as well. =)Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01020731791667043235noreply@blogger.com
