WIC doesn't cover it :-)

WIC doesn't cover it but we have state funded "Breast Feeding Liaison Professionals" (I don't actually remember what the real title is) that work in hospitals to teach, show, help and encourage breast feeding. Unfortunately, much like public schools, if your "client" and "clients parent" have no vested interest in the outcome, you're not gonna be successful no matter how much money you throw at it.

It would be interesting to see the statewide results by county.

Yay! Finally!
Mississippi doesn't suck!

WIC does cover and promote breastfeeding by offering mothers who breastfeed pumps and supplies and an enhanced food package.

10:11 - brilliant.

To take this one step further... do numbers like this disprove the theory that Mississippians of all ages are unhealthy/obese due to the lack of healthy food at a reasonable cost? Seems to me that it would, since breast milk is about as nutritious and low cost as it comes when feeding a newborn.

I breast fed for 6 six weeks. Many women who return to work pump there breast milk, but I didn't want to. It's just that simple. I know I am terrible for not doing what is best for my child, but until you have pumped your breasts in the bathroom stall at your workplace, then I really don't think you have a clear understanding of what it takes to make that sacrifice. Those who do it should be commended and celebrated. It ain't easy.

Too busy working on another baby to breast feed.

10:15 I was joking. Maybe instead of offering pumps and supplies they should offer a "nursing check", similar to the "crazy checks" and "sitting on the porch all day checks" that seem to be so popular with some Mississippians :-)

Breast feeding is healthier than formula. But it is a small component of child health that works with many other small components to make the child as healthy as possible. The concept does does, however, stir up controversy. But the issue of breast feeding isn't with the act itself. The issue or issues are with the self-righteous activists promoting breast feeding. There's a tendency to shame those that don't participant at all, fully, or long enough to satisfy said activists. They probably don't even know it, but their motivations are, much more often than not, tied to their insecurities and needs for validation. If these activists/promoters/participants would simply breast feed their own children and let other parents decide what they want to do, the whole stigma surrounding breast feeding would fade away. Breast feed wherever you like. Breast feed in the park, or at home, or at the mall, or the dentist, or at church. Just don't judge people who don't choose to breast feed at all or breast feed very long by "advancing your cause". It isn't a "cause". You can now breast feed anywhere you like. Relax and enjoy the time with your child. Peace.

Considering breastfeeding is something you're likely to see from moms who are 1) richer and 2) white I don't think that's too surprising.

Too bad there ain't more "ninnies" around for these teabagger babies and their cult leader, Chris McDaniel, the biggest baby I've ever seen in politics, to have enough for all of them to suck on until November. Maybe THAT'D shut em up!?

Otherwise, these poor fools with their whining and crying are going to either drive their families crazy or turn them all into future lifelong democrats, just to shut their crying up.

These baggers--- men & women alike, act like they've been robbed of the family jewels and there'll be nothing left to teabag with, henceforth. There's no crying in politics or baseball, or there ought not be any from adults who made it past middle school.

Y'all can quit yer bitching now and wait for the investigation to be finished, or go on and keep bitching and wailing until the "investigation" yields nothing; but if you continue to act like asses with butt-hurt feelings and zero evidence, we're going to keep laughing at y'all. Maybe forever.

Have some pride, even if that idiot candidate you worship doesn't act anything like a gentleman and probably doesn't know how to act. Thank God that imbecile didn't actually get the nomination, because the rest of us would've stayed home in November before we would've voted for that SOB, knowing what we know now.

He's an embarrassment for his own family although they're too stupid to know it, and to talk him down from the ledge. Go ahead and jump, Chris. You've already committed career suicide, and this ain't but a one-story ranch house anyway. But I hope you break your damn ankle with your stupidity and for showing your ass to the rest of the country.

Pathetic, just plumb pathetic.

5:52 Why are you on this thread again?

12:42 It's obviously been a while since you breast fed at work since you don't know that employers are now required to provide a "pumping room" that is NOT in a bathroom, must have a door that locks from the inside, and also not be visible from any outsiders (i.e. - either have full shades over the windows or not have windows at all)

Question: #1 Why would the post from 5:52 ever have been accepted on this thread?
#2 Why is it acceptable on this forum to call people tea-baggers? If I decide to call people cock-suckers, or dick-lickers or poop-eaters would that be published? If those terms are unacceptable, WHY are posts from those unable or unwilling to use the term Tea Party members acceptable. Just wondrin.

FYI, @6:18pm, 5:52pm was my only comment on this thread. I said all I wanted to say- actually, I typed it, too. Now, which other comment(s) would you like to attribute to me? None are mine, and I shouldn't take credit for the intellectual property of others.

Rest assured, if I think of something else to add to my first comment, I'll be sure to run it by you first, assuming you're the comment monitor here at JJ and you're planning to be around on the "Nursing MS Mommas" thread post throughout the evening.

If you're some of McDaniel's kinfolk with the red-ass, just say so, assuming you aren't too embarrassed to admit it, and I'll tiptoe lightly so I don't tread on you and your snake flag thingy. Fair enough?

But if you are from that Ellisville neck of the woods/sticks/pasture, I'll bet I saw you over by the capitol on Saturday, huh? Man, was that a stereotypical slice of backwoods Podunk, Mississippi, or what? Y'know, most of those bigger, older folks ought not dress like they do with those big ole "three sizes too small" spandex shorts and 6XL tees in public, unless they just HAVE to get out, because of possible heat stroke or something, namely,they scare the bejesus out of the younger children and grandkids of normal people who might not see those kinds of things every day.

I've got to run so there'll be no cold chicken for me tonight. But you have a lovely evening, a'ight?

Classy. Feel better? LOL

Google "Teabagger Hats" and look under images, and you'll see hundreds of examples of EXACTLY the reason the TeaBagger name is such a good fit.

The 1st phase of the 2009 version of Tea Party people CALLED THEMSELVES "TeaBaggers". I can't help that people laughed at them but the baggers thought everyone was laughing with them about their their cleverness in choosing their name.

The name stuck because it describes a bunch of idiots perfectly. Sorry, but it does. lol You can call people what you want, but it doesn't make you look any more intelligent. Obviously Kingfish lets real baggers be themselves. You should say "Thanks!"

Your post says plenty about your lack of control and your anti-social tendencies, not to mention your hot-headed temper. You baggers all seem to have that in common--- vulgar idiots full of bluster with little intelligence to be able to think your way out of a wet paper bag. Please tell me you don't have children to pass your slightly-irregular DNA on down your family tree, which goes just about as straight upward as a Mississippi Pine, and grows at about the same rate with all of those teatard younguns you bagger gals pop out of your loins with alarming regularity.

One last thing, Grandma, before you decide to get all hot and bothered and take out your angst & sexual frustrations on Papaw, please count to ten, take two deep breaths, and then take your dentures out.

Even Bagger Ladies Should Practice Safety First!!!

P.S. See you at the reunion next month.

To the cussing anonymous tea bagger fool at 7:18. Here's your sign:

Don't have a cow, It's G-rated.

I had a horrible nightmare the other night. I dreamed that I was a little baby and Dolly Parton was my momma and they fed me with a dang bottle!

Back to the fun bags conversation ....

Could we please stop talking about politics, and get back to talking about NINNIES?

Mississippi has got to lead the nation in BIG, GIANT NINNIES PER CAPITA.

Now, I'm not saying ours are BETTER than the ones in California and Colorado: but they're surely bigger.

Instead of bras, some Mississippi women need double-bay Zeppelin Hangars - capable of harnessing the Graf and the Hindenburg simultaneously.

And now some Yankee graph-maker is telling me that those brobdingnagian mammaries never even get USED? (at least not for purposes decent folk would admit to, up in church)
