Normalization Begins at Home
There's a movement to "normalize breastfeeding." Personally, I don't think we should need a movement, but I remember the looks and comments I got when nursing Jace even under a cover, so, I accept that we aren't there yet. But an interesting point came up in a conversation the other day. "Are you going to let Jace see you breastfeed?" Um, of course? I get the question a bit though, he'll be 8 years old when Saige arrives and is quickly reaching the point where his interest in the human body may take on notes of sexuality. Where he is aware there are differences physically between boys and girls. Where he has held hands with and had a "girlfriend" for the last year. But I still don't hesitate because to me, it's much more important that Jace understand that our bodies serve a purpose. That feeding babies is natural, normal, and is something that one day I can only hope he will be supportive of his wife doing for their child
