This post has a specific purpose, which is to ask advice from my readers who have successfully (or unsuccessfully) nursed babies in the past. If you haven't, you're still welcome to read, but consider yourself warned. I nursed S-Boogie for an entire year before she weaned. I generally felt that things went well, although she did not gain a lot of weight very quickly. With Little Dude we got to about four months or so before I realized that his extreme fussiness was probably related to hunger and we switched to a bottle because I couldn't get the supply back up. There were a lot of things going on in my life at the time, including a major move and his emergency delivery, so I'm not surprised that my body flaked out on me.

I am probably going to post on it, but I can't link anyone to the transcript because AR charges for them.
I don't know on the rightness or wrongness...I don't think it's that bad. Course, you could get people dressed up as missionaries snatching little kids' candy bags, and that would just be depressing.
"BORING. Although the Sisters in our ward dressed up as Elders for the Halloween part at church. That was highly amusing. "
This is really interesting. I'm sure if the Elders dressed up as Sister missionaries, cross dressing with wigs and dresses, everyone would flip. No?
Also, I saw a great pair of zombie missionaries at a party last week looking for dead people to convert... I thought it was a funny costume.
I think it's fine, but you've got to find some way to spice it up.
