Read MoreWhat The Bible Says About Nursing In Public
Try as you might you won’t find a verse in the Bible that says “Thou shalt Nurse in Public.” As a result it continues to be an issue even amongst (or, especially amongst) Christians. In our society where breasts are visible on every billboard, magazine, and waitress it is no wonder that the breast has become taboo in Christian homes that favor modesty.

In the last three months alone a Denver, CO mother created a stir when she nursed her newborn daughter at a Colorado Rockies game; a Tampa, FL mother was asked to nurse her toddler in private rather than in the school lobby; and a server at an Old Country Buffet in St. Paul, MN demanded that a mother cover up with a blanket while she nursed her six month old son. A recent study in the UK showed that half of all new mothers try to avoid breastfeeding in public because...
Read MoreBreastfeeding Through Fertility Treatments (IVF and FET)
Update! I know many people find this post from a forum or google search on breastfeeding through fertility treatments! Welcome and good luck on this difficult decision. I get lots of questions about how my story turned out. I *did* breastfeed through my FET and I did not tell the doctors. I was prepared to completely lie but no one even asked (probably because they didn’t think an 18 month old was still nursing). They thawed 2 5-day embryos and grew them to blastocyst. They both survived for transfer day and 7 1/2 months later I gave birth to my beautiful twin sons,...
