My husband doesn't have a porn problem, neither do I, but we both agree when seeing a woman nursing in public, even if covered properly, can still cause lustful thoughts. Furthermore I often hear people write about helping our brothers in Christ not to stumble, and if one of those brothers was struggling with porn or something similar, shouldn't we be more considerate of nursing in public around others? I know breastfeeding is normal, natural and a miracle, but so is sex...and we don't do that in public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-66497551204081218242012-03-25T05:55:35.672-05:002012-03-25T05:55:35.672-05:00A big AMEN!!!!!

I am using a cover to nurse around my children. They know that it is a natural part of life, but it keeps my boys from viewing my breasts. I will say I have a difficult time nursing in public, even being covered. My babies are noisy nursers. Hearing load swallowing noises is not something I want to share. I agree that it could be distracting to my brothers in Christ. Thanks again Caroline for a great challenging post.<br />Kim CrawfordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-76084789975265670572012-03-23T16:50:32.645-05:002012-03-23T16:50:32.645-05:00I am glad you honored your husbands wishes.
But if...I am glad you honored your husbands wishes.<br />But if breasteeding in front of men were truly immodest, or leading them into sin then the Bible (male writers) would not mention Nursing/Breast/breastfeeding over 25x. For even the mention or mental picture of a woman nursing may lead men into lustful sin. Our Holy God is even quoted in comparing his love for his chosen people as a Nursing Mother to her infant.

I don't usually find myself with this issue, but when I sewed my wedding dress I found that the neckline, although quite high, was wide enough that my straps would show. Not the look I was going for, so I sewed in ribbons with snaps to keep them in place. I was glad not to be worrying about them showing up in pictures.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857643441730820081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-76335146203595552452012-03-22T19:17:50.150-05:002012-03-22T19:17:50.150-05:00Thank-you for sharing this!

Therefore I prefer to wear nude colored bras. I get the support and modesty I need, and nobody can see what's under my clothes. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a flesh colored nursing bra. I can't mail order as I seem to be a very difficult size to fit, and the only store within shopping distance that sales nursing bras is Target, and they don't exactly have the best selection. :(Natalie L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06479832983981353722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-82845775939075164832012-03-22T18:31:57.261-05:002012-03-22T18:31:57.261-05:00Great post, Caroline.

There are so many straps, it would be hard to tell which one was the bra and which were the tank top straps! However, as my husband and son have confirmed, it does lead to some curiosity from the males as to, "Hmmm...wonder what that strap is connected to..." and so on. It's sorta like a complete-the-picture-in-your-head kind of thing that guys (often unintentionally) get caught up in. Why do that to our men???Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291899807019172830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-45766189574998285352012-03-22T16:33:32.813-05:002012-03-22T16:33:32.813-05:00I found an awesome strapless one!I found an awesome strapless one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
