I found your blog from momys, and I was reading some past posts. I noticed your sw said you could not nurse your baby in front of a foster child. I was told the same thing. I got around it by buying nursing shirts, the kind with a double layer. They cover a lot, and you can be very discrete. I bought most of my shirts on ebay, and built my wardrobe little by little, to make it affordable. Now that it's getting colder, a nursing cami under a sweater is great. You can also take an old tank top and cut some slits in it and wear it under shirts or sweaters.
I have nursed wearing a nursing shirt, and *not* using a blanket or cover, in front of our private agency caseworker, CPS workers, and therapists, and no one has said a word!
thank you Robin. i have some nursing clothes. i will try wearing only these around case workers. i am very discrete already. I really don't know where they got the impression i would be flaunting it! LOL
thanks so much :)
