With Memorial Day coming up I know many of us are spending more time thinking about the amazing job our US Military does for us and feeling grateful for their service. I recently read this article about Breastfeeding in the Military. I was SHOCKED with what I read. Some military members thought breastfeeding in uniform was "against military etiquette and discipline"! Now, I was a military mom who did breastfeed for a year while I served in the National Guard. I never had to do it in public as I was not deployed during my breastfeeding time BUT it made me remember the great lengths my husband and I went to in order to be discreet; which meant breastfeeding in our car on my lunch breaks and pumping in the bathroom! I think this article is well written so I just had to share! Thoughts??? Any other military moms out there?
