DEAR MIKE CARES: I am a new mom who is fortunate to be able to breastfeed. We've had several guests come to our house to meet the baby, and if she needs to nurse, I go to the couch and allow her to breastfeed. I don't feel the need to hide in another room in my own house when I'm comfortable on my couch with all my necessary pillows to assist.
My sister wanted to bring her new boyfriend over to meet my husband, the baby and me. Before they came, she called to ask me to refrain from "whipping out my boobs" in front of her new beau. I don't view breastfeeding as flashing, but she prioritized his comfort over mine in my own house. I don't mind using a cover to shield people from seeing my chest, but was her request valid and should I go into another room in my own home? -- FEEDING IN THE WEST
DEAR FEEDING IN THE WEST: Listen, I’m all for seeing naked breasts, but when a baby enters the picture, it goes from sexual to clinical about as fast as you can say Father Flanagan remove your cassock from that alter boy’s vestment! My rule of thumb on breasts is if they are not out for the sole purpose of a sexual touch and feel then they should remain unseen and untouched. If you think your modern day hippy, dippy, equal rights horseshit is a green light to yank those milk balloons out anytime you want you are sorely mistaken. Thank you for keeping us abreast of this situation. Good Luck and Keep in Touch! Dear Mike Cares is also on X, Instagram and Facebook (whatever they are.)
