This post will be about nursing - - so - - as a warning/caveat- - if it grosses you out (as it once did me), skip reading this post. If you're intrigued on what will come from my brain next, read on!
I saw two news stories today on (human) breastmilk. I also finally decided to add breastmilk to baby's rice cereal today, which seemed to go a little better. Anyhow... I've decided that these are definitely some breast milk DON'Ts. All are quoted directly from the internet; 1 and 2 are very recent headline news.
1. Oh, mama! Restaurateur Daniel Angerer had a surplus of his wife’s breast milk, so he whipped up a cheese made from it and put it on his menu. “Being a chef, you’re curious about anything in terms of flavor,” he explained. But some are saying: “Eww.”
2. A woman in jail for public intoxication was accused of assaulting a jailer by squirting breast milk at her. WYMT-TV reported that a 31-year-old woman was arrested Thursday on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. But as she was changing into an inmate uniform, she squirted breast milk into the face of a female deputy who was with her.
3. She said, "The dog was hungry." So, what do you? Naturally, you whip one out - and breast feed the dog???
4. If you have an exclusively-breastfed baby or just want a solid food that will provide all the nutrition of breastmilk, plus the many benefits of active cultures, breastmilk yogurt might be an ideal food for your child. Breastmilk yogurt is easy to make at home, tastes great, and packs a nutritious punch for babies and toddlers of all ages.
5. Kourtney Kardashian is breast feeding baby Mason, and since her family is hearing all about it, so are we. "Wow my sister has changed. She used to whip her boobs out for no reason. Now she does it to feed her child," Khloe tweeted Thursday morning. And apparently, to feed herself.
While on the topic of headline news, this is totally unrelated but made me scratch my head a time or two....
Shark attacks in the U.S. fell sharply in 2009, according to a report released Monday, and the scientist behind the data thinks the reason could have been the weak economy.
Today: I am thankful for entertaining (?) news stories.
