[I still care]

Several years ago I was in a van with a mother of 7. (She was driving.) The baby started crying, and the mother asked her older daughter to hand the baby up, and began nursing her while she was driving.

I can't tell you how unsafe it looked. Any accident, and the baby would have been dead, sandwiched between mom and the steering wheel. And no matter how "easy" a mom says it is, it took quite a bit of fooling to get the baby into proper position. If people can get into accidents turning a dial on a radio, this was way out of line. She swerved in her lane several times trying to get clothes out of the way.

I told her she was nuts. She told me she does it all the time, no big deal.

A year later she ran over her daughter by accident in a driveway.

Several years ago I was in a van with a mother of 7.

And why was she in such a hurry that she couldn't pull over for a few minutes? Why bother having kids if their lives mean so little to you, you don't have time to provide them a little safety? Selfish morons.

I had a customer that said the strangest thing he ever saw in Harvard Square, was a woman breast feeding while riding a bicycle.

Speaking of vans, I remember some news story about a woman who just bought a caravan with cruise control. Urban Myth Alert?
She engaged it, and went in to the back to take care of the baby.

Her line was "The salesman said it would [practically] drive itself.

I have two words for your friend. Breast pump.
