Stasi

I'm interested to see how this is going to go. Hopefully, its a positive story...should be coming on in the next couple segements...

Oh boy. I actually wonder if people would be more open to it in Central Park than let's say at a suburban mall in the midwest?

Interesting. I love her.

What about midwestern mall v. high end child "unfriendly" restaurant...?

At that point though people could be giving horrified looks that you brought a baby into that restaurant and not the NIPing, KWIM?

True. But I think there are places everywhere in the US where people will turn up their nose...I would hope the lesson will be that it should be a regular occurrence regardless of where you are.

It's on now btw

Gah, one of those moments when I wish we still had cable... Interested to hear how it goes.

AlinnJo

Same here spoof. I must have missed it earlier this morning.

Jenna Wolf = Today Show corespondent It went well. It was positive (as expected) and Jenna didn't have any issues while she was out and about. They did make a point to discuss how it's not always easy and sometimes not realistic for some moms to continue breast feeding and that those moms should be shown support with whatever choice they made (formula or breast feeding).

I was interested to see how this went as well but didn't get a chance to DVR. When the teaser came on this morning I literally said out loud "We're still talking about this!" I mean really? Glad it was positive!

Surprisingly, the only time anyone has ever said anything to me about NIP, it was in NYC. And it was positive.

When Eddie was 3 months old we accidentally went to a super fancy restaurant when we were out of town in California. I had read reviews, looked at the website (no prices) and had driven by. I had no idea that it was a $70/plate kinda place til we got inside. My husband would not leave because, in his words, "Who cares? We don't know these people!" Ugh. Anyway, I pretty much breastfed the entire time, with a cover, tucked away in our little corner booth. And I didn't get one nasty look! I have to believe people who noticed were thinking, "At least the kid isn't screaming."

If this is being filmed in NYC, it's already baby unfriendly.  Seriously, I don't know how people do it (who aren't multi millionaires with nannies) with kids.  It's not stroller friendly, and the restaurants are definitely not made for kids.  Didn't stop me from bringing Lu with me, but still.  NYC is not made for babies.

really? granted I don't live there, but we've frequented NYC several times over the past few years. I feel like it's so easy to blend in, no one gives you a second glance. And there are far far more bazaar happenings there for people to stop & stare at!

I nursed DD in the middle of grand central station - sitting directly under what I thought was an out of commission vintage mail box. I felt like every other person stopped to admire the mail box & then turns out it was fully operational b/c the mail carrier came to open it up & get the mail out of it! lol No one even noticed me sitting there nursing!

This always seems to happen to me, btw, with nursing. I think I picked a quiet, out of the way spot & the second I start nursing, there are suddenly people all around me.

I didn't see it, I will try and catch a rerun later online but I am curious how it was set up.  Was it live? Was she not worried about accidently flashing a nip (ha!) on national television?
