The Mowery Family


 
 
Well Lisa, my husband just about freaked when I decided to nurse.  His ex-wife never nursed and he felt "odd" about it.  I told him either grow a uterus or deal with it.  His reply was, fine - but you are not nursing past 6 months, again I told him to "pack sand".  Dana finally nursed from me at 4 mos (she was sickly, I had to pump until "she" decided to suckle), and nursed until 22 mos when I dried up (my dad died, emotional saga).  These men are out there, and until they learn the breast are there for feeding children, not their pleasure - us mom's have to endure their "crapola".
 
Warmly,

Deep Breath---I have to ask this question.  How on earth does a man allow or
not allow a woman to nurse?   Beyond the threat of violence, how could a
husband make this choice for a woman?
I'm just a tad baffled by the whole concept.  :(
