Clanging dryers annoy me too. Do you think we ought to bring that up at
our Anger Management meeting? Polly

I forgot to add that I don't use the metal d-rings that are called
for, I happened to have some plastic ones on hand and when they ran
out I got some other plastic fasteners at Joann's. I just thought the
metal d-rings too heavy and hate the thought of those clanging around
in the dryer when it came time to wash the cover.

I'm on board with that clanging dryer thing. Our bedroom has a laundry
chute in the (tiny -- 1971 house) closet. Goes straight down to the
laundry room. Where our sons, who for some reason sleep all day and
are up all night, do laundry at unbearable hours and sometimes leave
change in pockets, or a belt in the pant loops, or (God help me) those
wonderful little hedge hog balls that do away with the need for dryer
sheets. So at whatever-wee-hour a.m. I creep down the stairs, mutter
something about 'clean this @#$%^ mess of dirty dishes up by morning'
and yank the clanging object out of the dryer. Always the same
response: 'Wow, could you hear that all the way upstairs?' or 'Oh, I
forgot.' Yeah.....

On a more pleasant subject .... I'm going to find some boning and make
a few hooter hiders (little h so no patent or copyright infringement).
I think I'll use velcro rather than the plastic rings. Easier to
manage with one hand, and definitely quiet in the dryer.

Sunny,

The one thing about velcro is how noisy it is around a (hopefully)
sleeping baby (not to mention how it sticks to everything else in the
washer/dryer operation). On the other hand, usually once you get it
adjusted all you need do is slip it over your head.

Judie

i'm unsure why someone needs a cover when nursing.
i BF 3 kids for a total about 3.5 yrs or so and never needed to cover up.
ya just gently lift your shirt/blouse enough to uncover yourself enough for
baby to grab hold then your top and baby cover everything.
i fed them everywhere, didnt worry me at all cuz no one could see anything
anyhow.
maybe they just need training on the how-to aspect.
then again, it is america. i read somewhere it was not acceptable to feed
your baby anywhere you fancy'd....like in a restaurant/coffee shop/cafe.
that is insane. i guess it was a good thing i was here thru those yrs.
there'd be hell to pay if someone told me to go sit in a bathroom/toilet to
feed my baby.
hell who eats lunch in a bathroom, not my babys, thank you very much.
hrmph,
j.

That's exactly the problem. I don't why people get so upset about seeing a
baby eat in public. But don't bat an eyelash when a woman is in a public
place practically falling out of her top.

I agree with Maureen, the reaction to a mother nursing a baby has gotten
totally ridiculous. There have been news stories about nursing mothers
being asked to leave public areas. Years ago, my own MIL "strongly
suggested" I go into the bedroom to feed her grandson. It was a long
time before she needed to deal with the "problem" again.

Judie

I think the problem isn't generally that babies are being nursed in public.
I think lots of us did that with no problem. The problem is women who use
the occasion to
flop their boobs around and take advantage of the time to expose for the
sake of the reaction. It is pretty easy to nurse a baby in a subtle,
inoffensive way. Those women don't generally have problems. I think the
falling out of their top women are the kind to be more exhibitionists at
everything they do.

ok, Taria,
i see your point on those women but they wont wear a nursing top anyhow.
why should the others who know how to BF without making a big deal out of it
need the nursing tops?
i must be missing something in this equation.

I am guessing here jeanne, but I bet a lot of this stuff goes to
underprivileged and un-educated women. (that probably isn't the pc way to
put it) Maybe they are working with them and trying to teach them? That is
a guess on my part.
