Norah and I drove to Burleson on Saturday to support nursing in public after an event challenged state law. This was a peaceful roadside rally and a whole lot of fun! I am finding this rally stuff very encouraging... It is amazing how simply people can educate the public. Somebody has got to stand up for what is normal before it all goes out the window!!

I grabbed some of these photos from people online, as you can see we are in a few, so we didn't take them all:

Yes, the probability that Mary breastfed her baby is very high, considering that there were no other options (other than find another mom to feed your baby), that's what all the literature and paintings point to, so it would have been a big big waste to fashion animal skins, burlap, cloth, or whatever material was necessary into a not needed accessory for feeding her child. Seems ridiculous if there is no shame in breastfeeding. Let's not make it about the cover, though. Let's just sit in the thought that Mary was doing what was needed, feeding her son, whenever, wherever, and however worked best for them. I think we could all learn something from this. :)
