Hi everyone.
I'm Alexx, a 26 yr old mom of two children. I spend time in chat rooms dedicated to parents and children.Recently while in one of these chat rooms, several posters stated that it's normal for women to breastfeed because every other mammal does it.
Both my husband and I were raised Christians. Me - Lutheran, my husband- Catholic. We both recall being taught that humans aren't animals and that it's modern science that would like you to believe this is so.
As a breastfeeding mother, I take great offense to being called a mammal. I am not an animal. Pure and simple.
I guess I am posting this to see if I am not alone in my thinking because I got no support at all in the parenting chat rooms as everyone thinks it's ridiculous to argue against it because the dictionary definition includes humans as mammals.
