I had no idea that Mayim was pregnant, or that she was married and has another son, Congrats to them, I am so happy for her and her husband!

Sally C, I was thinking the same thing as you, but I thought I might have started unnecessary arguments if I did. I feel the exact same way, but I am often mistaken for someone who is anti-breastfeeding altogether. I am glad she is brave enough to BF discreetly in public, I know I could never do it. Although BF is a wonderful thing, It makes me uncomfortable to see it exposed rather than discreetly.

Congrats Mayim! My 2nd baby girl was born in 45 minutes, “en caul” as well and it was an incredible experience!

what a great picture of an attached mother and a happy baby. Nursing in Public, no blanket, in a carrier, natural as can be, and no exposed skin whatsoever.
WTG, Mayim!

Yay it is always great to see a celeb promoting attachment parenting and natural birth.

I also didn’t even realize she was nursing at first glance. I never even thought of using my sling or carrier to make nursing easier!

Sally C – not that I think we should go flaunting it either, but I’m pretty grateful for those celebs who are taking away the gross label of nursing. I’m a little nervous about nursing my next one in public because I dont know what the reaction will be. Who knows, because of Mayim and Angelina Jolie, it may even become trendy!

Beautiful picture – she looks so serene!
They say that when a baby is born in the caul that it’s a sign that it will have psychic ability.

I think there’s a difference between “public” and “discrete” BF. The way Mayim is BF is totally acceptable. She is still clothed, there is no skin showing, no nipple showing. A lot of women that I’ve seen BF have their top half off or have their entire half of their body exposed, or have the entire breast exposed. I can understand why that would be a problem when one BF in public, but when it is done the way Mayim has, why I think there would be a lot more acceptance and undestanding than if it was done “in your face” whipping out the boob and taking off tops. Ya know? So yeah, kudos to Mayim for showing a nice and discrete way of BF in public.

I didn’t even realize that she was nursing in that picture until I read something about it, scrolled up to see if I missed a picture, and realized she was nursing. That’s great. She looks so natural. When you’ve got more than one, sometimes you just have to nurse on the go.

My third was almost born in the caul. My water didn’t break as she was crowning, and the Dr. broke it at that time. I don’t know if that constitutes born in the caul or not, since it was broken before she was out, but without the Dr. breaking it, she would have been.

I think this story is awesome! And, her baby’s weight is fine! BF babies cannot overeat. Before pacifiers/dummies, when babies wanted to suck they nursed. There wasn’t another option! My daughter was EBF on demand, and went from 7lbs at birth to almost 13 pounds at 2 months. Now, at 13 months, she’s not quite 18 pounds. Almost all babies will grow optimally if given the opportunity

I’m so amazed by her accomplishments. Congratulations to the family on their new addition. I love the significance of his middle name.
