I do not support this article, but thought it interesting fodder for nonrunningrelateddiscussion - http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904/case-against-breastfeeding

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I've said all that I need to say on this subject to my husband. Everyone else can mind their own business.

Bring it on.

I do not nurse children. That would be wrong. If you are like me, do not nurse children.

Don't you babes have a usergroup for this kind of thing? You should let Trent join. He's a doctor.

All I gotta say is every momma animal seems to be ok with their kid sucking on their nipple, so why should we expect any different than our kid? Not that kids are in my future ANY time soon, but hypothetically, if I had a little bugger, I'd go the way nature intended... Yes
