Shy girl nursing in public
Friday, July 22nd, 2011Welcome to The Breastfeeding Cafe Carnival!
This post was written as part of The Breastfeeding Cafe’s Carnival. For more info on the Breastfeeding Cafe, go to www.breastfeedingcafe.wordpress.com. For more info on the Carnival or if you want to participate, contact Claire at clindstrom2 {at} gmail {dot} com. Today’s post is about nursing in public. Please read the other blogs in today’s carnival listed below and check back for more posts July 18th through the 31st!
Nursing where? Anywhere. I am not a breastfeeding mom yet (still have six months to go in my first pregnancy), but I feel very involved in the breastfeeding world. I am surrounded by friends and family that have made breastfeeding the norm for me. Given their positive experiences, I can’t wait to experience it myself. I know I will breastfeed in public: it seems unavoidable unless I want to stay in the house for six months. And why should it be avoided? Unfortunately, I can’t help feel a little nervous of getting my first stare, or perhaps even glare. I want to be proud to nurse my child in public, but even more I wish I didn’t even have to think about it at all. It shouldn’t be an issue.
The more women breastfeed in public, the more normal it will be. I want to feel comfortable doing it and that has to come from me. It will be my attitude and confidence, knowing that I am doing the right thing, which will help me get over that first stare/glare.
I’m a shy girl. I don’t like attracting attention. But neither of these traits will deter me from breastfeeding in public. I’ve been giving nursing shirts as baby shower presents for years. I hear again and again stories of how discreet and easy a simple shirt can make this process. My friend Caro, one of my lucky gift recipients 
, was at her husband’s softball game with her six week old son when she ran into a friend. “She didn’t even realize I was nursing while talking with her” my friend Caro was telling me the other day. There are other accessories for breastfeeding that encourage and facilitate breastfeeding in public as well; I am obviously partial to nursing shirts. I think we should do whatever it takes to get us out there, nursing in public. I believe it should be normal, although apparently it’s not as there is news everyday of women being asked to leave places because of breastfeeding. That has got to stop.

More breastfeeding on TV!
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010I was very lucky to be invited to the Daytime Toronto show on Rogers TV on Tuesday September 28th. Two wonderful moms were with me and demonstrated how the Momzelle nursing tops work. One of them even breastfed on TV! Cute moms, cute babies, cute clothes: that’s the life. Enjoy watching!
Tomorrow: picture day!
Monday, August 30th, 2010It’s that time of year again. We have received new styles and new colours of Momzelle nursing tops for Fall and tomorrow we will have them professionally photographed. Real nursing moms will be posing for your benefit.
I LOVE photo shoots. Every time there is a new one I become very excited. Hiring the photographer, the make up and hair artists, making sure we have little toys to distract the babies and the right sizes of clothing for the models. It just feels so glamourous, for the moms and for me!
I can’t wait to show you the results (if all goes well, that will be on Wednesday). By the way, I did take temporary pics of the new colours and styles, you can check them out here: http://www.momzelle.com/categories/3/long-sleeves-nursing-tops. All of the tops are available right now!
Vacation time (for me!): Orders will leave as usual
Friday, July 23rd, 2010Hello! Just a quick note to let you know that I will be away on vacation for the next two weeks. I will be back on August 9th. Orders will be leaving as usual, so indulge if you feel like it! Many nursing tops have never been available at such a low price (up to 25% off). This will not last long, I tell you!
If you need anything, do not hesitate to call 1-866-941-5109
Take care,
Christine
What would you do if you (or someone you know) were asked to leave a public place because you are breastfeeding?
Monday, July 12th, 2010This is the question INFACT Canada asks on their website and I believe it is a good one to pounder before it happens (and hopefully it won’t!). Knowing your rights will empower you to act if you or someone you know is asked to leave a public place because of breastfeeding.
So, what would you do if you (or someone you know) were asked to leave a public place because you are breastfeeding? Here are the answers provided by INFACT Canada
What are your rights? At INFACT Canada we receive calls every month from women who find themselves in this situation. A public place can be defined as anywhere you go that does not require a personal invitation. If this happens to you there are several possible courses of action. You can:
- Stand your ground and refuse to leave. Calmly but confidently state your right to feed your infant without discrimination. Unfortunately many new mothers feel intimidated in such situations, and it is often after they have had time to think about what has happened that they wish to respond in some way
- Lodge a formal complaint with your provincial Human Rights Commission
- Write to your local community newspapers about the incident
- Let your local councilor, school trustee, MP and MPP know. Choose the government official connected with the actual place where the incident occurred, for example if you are asked to leave a school setting it would be best to go to the local school trustee with your complaint. If you are unsure start with local councilors and MPPs
- Contact your local public health unit. They can provide you with suggestions on how to proceed and can probably put you in touch with local breastfeeding networks or coalitions
- Let INFACT Canada know info@infactcanada.ca. Phone: 416-595-9819
- Boycott the place where the incident occurred and encourage friends and family to do the same. It is a good idea to let the facility know what you are doing and why
So far, every mother that has lodge a formal complaint has won her case (the cases get publicity and raise the public’s awareness of mothers’ rights, which is really good!).
As the organization says, “one of the obstacles to breastfeeding continues to be concern over whether or not it is acceptable to do so in public. Some women fear offending others if they breastfeed in public places”. My two cents: wearing a nursing top may make you feel a lot more confident when nursing in public. The fear of offending others disappears when you wear one, that’s for sure! If more women felt confident enough to nurse in public, I am convinced that it would have a positive impact on the population in general and that would be less discrimination against nursing mothers. Get out there and nurse in public, ladies! Wear a nursing top to calm your fear (founded or not) of offending others or to feel pretty. Stand your ground, ’cause breastfeeding is a beautiful thing.
Going to Chicago
Friday, June 4th, 2010Good morning everyone! Vincent and I will be going to Chicago on Monday, for a big conference about how to improve our online presence as a branded manufacturer. We want to make sure your experience on our website is fantastic, and also work towards our nursing tops brand recognition. This should help our amazing retailers too!
So just in case you wonder why I do not write as much next week, don’t worry, I’ll be back on Monday June 14th.
