[quote bearishgurl] Even nine months pregnant, we covered up with dresses with strategically-placed pleats in them and dress skirts/pants with hidden panels which longer shirts hid. Never in a million years would we go out in public with half our pregnant stomach exposed under a short t-shirt and tight yoga pants worn low or a t-shirt stretched so tight over our stomachs that it showed everything that no one really wanted to see. NOR would would we ever nurse in public (that’s what restrooms are for)! It is RIDICULOUS the demands that many female millennials are making and the things they feel entitled to do at everyone else’s expense. They have no common decency or respect for others. For many in this group, it is all about them. Gross…[/quote]
I am at the tail end of the Boomer generation and sorry but please speak for yourself. I didn’t wear the dresses with pleats (or little ducks or teddy bears). I wore jeans – they were comfortable. Also – I think I have a very useful piece of info for you! (Exclamation point on purpose.) Restrooms are for relieving yourself – check with your doctor if you need more specific information. (This should make your life a lot easier – and clear up the confusion about why there are ones for men. ) The materials of which you relieve yourself in the restroom tend to be bacteria laden and inconsistent with a healthy environment for nursing an infant whose immune system is not quite up to speed yet. So you need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
….[/quote]There are sofas in the outer portion of many restrooms which can be used for nursing. And there is always one’s vehicle or a spare room if they are at a house party OR (gasp) leaving the baby with a sitter for a couple of hours with bottle(s) of pumped milk. And I didn’t mention anything about teddy bears or ducks. We wore solid-colored rayon dresses or suits (maternity wear) to work which was tasteful and draped correctly. Yes, it had to be dry-cleaned. Glad to hear your employer allowed you to wear (maternity) jeans to work. We were not allowed to wear anything of blue denim to work pursuant to our strict dress code.
