Breast feeeding a 13 week old in a public pool? Wtf?

Its like shes friggin screaming for someone to look at her.

..............

Elizabeth Hahe was breast-feeding her 13-week-old son May 31 in the pool at the Wilmington Athletic Club when an employee told her to get out because what she was doing was a health hazard.

"Explain to me how breast milk is a health risk," Hahe said in a later interview. "Just because I'm nursing in the pool doesn't mean milk is getting in the pool."

It was a cool evening. Hahe, 29 of Wilmington, said she and her son were partly submerged in the pool's water to stay warm. She was wearing a low-cut, one-piece bathing suit with a strap pulled down so Jackson could nurse.

"I was in there for three or four minutes," she said. "All you could see was his head there where he was feeding. I had him curled up next to me to try to keep him warm. The bottom half of his body was in the water."

Stunned, Hahe left the pool.

"I just went over and sat down in my chair and continued nursing. I did cover him up with a towel. It might have looked like I covered myself up, but I didn't," she said.

Mothers can transmit AIDS to their infants through breast milk at a far higher rate than previously believed, researchers have found.

The study raises the question of whether infected mothers in developing countries should continue to breast-feed. The World Health Organization says they should because the risks of not breast-feeding are even greater. But in developed countries, the advice has long been the opposite: infected mothers are advised not to breast-feed.

In the study, carried out in Kigali, the capital of the Central African nation of Rwanda, researchers found that among 16 mothers who apparently were infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, between a quarter and a half passed the infection on to their infants through breast-feeding.

Seriously dude - would you want your child sucking off a teat has just been immersed in a public swimming pool? Meanwhile whats baby doing in his diapers. and whats she gonna do - burp him in the pool too and let him throw up in the water?

Just another reason to never ever swim in a public pool - too many idiots use them.

No clue what AIDS has to do with this, but the woman should've just exercised better judgement and done it in a lounge chair like she ended up doing.

I'm pro-breastfeeding when you use some freaking common sense. It's natural for me to piss, but you don't see me whip it out in a pool.

if ***'s are exposed for any reason... then I'm for that!

The problem with that is, if your at the beach and some chick whips out her tits, then stare away. If the same senario happens but its to breast feed a kid then your a creep. So if your going to breast feed in public do it descretely.

urine is not sterile - thats an urban myth often repeated by foks who dont bother to check the facts - from a health blog

..............

Okay, here’s another of those things that ignorant people keep repeating without bothering to check. If they even just gave it a little thought, they’d realize how ridiculous it is to think that someone’s pee is sterile.

First off, why would people care if urine is sterile? In case you hadn’t seen it in any of the preparedness literature, many people advocate drinking urine as a last resort when you’re dehydrated. I know, Ewwwwww. However, it could be like getting old- it beats the alternative.

So, why do people keep claiming that urine is sterile? I’ve read it in several different places in the last few days. Well, it’s because urine can be sterile, but ONLY if it meets ALL of the following criteria:

  1. The person from which the urine is derived has no diseases that can be passed via urine. Among a host of others, this includes Hepatitis-B.
  2. The urinator hasn’t been exposed to any of those diseases such that it’s in their system and they just don’t realize it yet. Disease incubation periods being what they are you could be passing a disease long before you know you have it yourself.
  3. This is the big one… the urine has to still be in the bladder.

Since the odds of you getting urine from anyone (yourself included) straight from the bladder are really really slim, you’re going to have to accept the fact that ANY urine that uses the body’s normal delivery method is NOT sterile. It can pick up all kinds of nasties en route from the bladder to the outside world, even in an otherwise healthy person. You have heard of urinary tract infections, right? Once it hits the plumbing outside the bladder, it is no longer sterile- even if it was before that point.

I’m going to get on my high horse for a minute here. If people would just use their brains when they hear someone spout off something like “urine is sterile” and think about it for a few seconds, they would realize that at the very least it might not be true. You wash your hands after you go pee, don’t you? If it’s sterile, why bother? Oh, because it’s a great growth medium for bacteria and virii? Well, then just rinse your hands off and you’d be good as new. No need to use soap or antibacterial cleanser or anything, right?

When there’s a Hepatitis outbreak, it is often traced back to overworked and underpaid farm workers tinkling out in the fields since they don’t get paid bathroom breaks, or to food service workers not washing their hands after they go to the bathroom. If urine was sterile, this wouldn’t be such a problem.

So, please, if you see anyone trying to tell you that urine is sterile let them know that they’re putting out false information. Ten seconds with Google or Wikipedia will verify it. If they can’t be bothered to spend that kind of time verifying something before they go repeating it, I wouldn’t put much stock in anything they say anyway.
