Witch Lactation Station

Very interesting. Very neat idea. I'm very behind it, especially in all my Halloween and 'I-was-a-nursing-momma' glory. :-)

Ha! That's awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've contemplated e-mailing someone--JK Rawling, to be exact.. to ask if witches nurse their babies. Because, I don't think Draco was breastfed...

I'm sure she would tell you that yes, most good witch mommies do. She is a big breastfeeding advocate herself, even telling the world that she doesn't intend to write any of the 7th novel until her little Mackenzie has had a full year of Mommy time. She's backed out of several press engagements this year due to conflicts in feeding schedules, saying that "if [she] is hungry, I have to be there - no one else can do it for her but me."

Just one more reason to love Jo, eh? :-D

from the article:
Some in town say the display is inappropriate, particularly because their kids are asking questions.

Why is it inappropriate for children to know how mammals nurse their young?

Oh noes! A fake breast! Send in the morality police! :P

Seriously people, get the heck over yourselves.

While I think it is an odd Halloween decoration (not being a mother, I don't really know anything about the breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding debate...I was bottle fed and turned out fine), it's just a freaking gourd, for crying out loud!

I want to know, if it's so inappropriate, do these people think a baby's eyes should be covered every time he eats??? Shocking!!!

I thought it was quite cute!

Nice new layout, by the way.

Now I've got the image of a breastfeeding snake boy in my head!

I'm pretty sure all the Weasleys were breastfed, tho!
