One more question : for all those who don't think a school should explain breast feeding how do you feel about health classes that talk in depth about the menstrual cycle, illegal drugs, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases ? Those are certainly controversial topics and schools talk about them. A big problem in this society is ignorance and misinformation about "taboo" topics. Maybe it would be better for us all if things were more openly discussed. Before everyone jumps on me, I am not suggesting we teach 4 year olds about sex, BUT I think open, honest communication about factual,scientific subjects is a good thing.
I'm Talking about a 4 yr old in preschool
Lifting her shirt
I'm sure my daughter will be a slut in high school and will know all
About stds. All bc of similac
And I am all for those topics to be talked about. And they should. But again I am simply talking about a 4yr old girl. And how if it as my daughter I don't want her lifting her shirt

I don't want to fuel the debate, but I did want to tell everyone that I got more details and the teacher was totally right in her response. This is why husbands should never be the ones to pass on details. They leave way too much out.
DD did not lift up her shirt, but she also wasn't using dolls. Apparently she had two friends on her to demonstrate. The teacher simply pulled her aside and reminded her of the rule that we keep out hands to ourselves and don't touch our friends. So, yeah.... The teacher also said that she had to turn away from them to laugh and that was definitely not something she had seen before. My DD is really going to be a handful. 
I was trying to figure out what you meant about her and her two friends. Then I remembered you had twins and could picture them acting it out and had to laugh! I miss my days of teaching kindergarten...just another day in the life for that teacher I'm sure!

As I stated before, I don't think it is appropriate for the girl to lift her shirt. Also, I never criticized formula feeding or moms who do it. I've seen your posts on here and you seem like a really sweet person. I'm certainly not attacking you or how you choose to feed your baby.

Oh for God's sake - At 4 YEARS OLD we are desperately trying to teach our kids that PRIVATE parts .....are just that - PRIVATE.
We do this to PROTECT our kids from being hurt, molested, abused etc .......You don't need deal with the ADULT battle of breast vs bottle IN THE CLASSROOM - a 4 year old preschool class is NOT the place to have a discussion about breastfeeding. And just b/c WE AS ADULTS should be able to separate breasts as sexual vs. not - a 4 year old CHILD can easily be confused. If I had a daughter I wouldn't want her thinking it was natural for some freak pervert to touch her breasts and tell her it was natural -
You want to expose your children to it ? that is YOUR business as a parent.
Just b/c I didn't breastfeed doesn't mean I have a problem w/ my sons knowing that it's a natural way to feed a baby - I just don't think it's an APPRORIATE TOPIC FOR A PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM -
If you can't separate the two, they maybe YOU are the one who is ignorant.
I referenced this earlier and I'd like to direct this question to you : if your child was at the zoo with his class, saw a chimp nursing a baby and asked his teacher why she was doing that how would your expect the teacher to respond ?
"That is how she feeds her baby" - I think it's pretty clear to a 4 year old that they are very different from a chimp - I thnk there's little chance of a chimp being sexualized or molested.

Health class is taken in what 6, 7, 8th grade or older? Not at 4, 5, or 6. By 6th grade my daughter will know what breastfeeding is.
ETA: That is your right as your childs parent to give her factual and scientific information about whatever topic you want to. YOUR RIGHT. Don't take away my rights because of how you feel and what age you deem appropriate to learn about it. that is MY RIGHT
My point isn't about anyone's rights as a parent. The point was that schools DO teach kids about topics much more controversial than breast feeding. They might be older, but the subjects are still discussed by someone OTHER than the parent.

Yes, at a point in their lives when they are becoming aware of their sexuality - and the topics that go along with it .......it is an AGE APPROPRIATE discussion ofr a 6th/7th/8th grader to be learing about these things and how they affect them - again, a 4 year old doesn't need a lesson in breastfeeding.

If there was a child in school pretending to give birth to a baby doll, would you want the teacher going into how babies are born? I mean they will eventually learn about that?
What is the difference, breastfeeding, vaginal birth? B/C some people obviously don't see one if they teach their kids about it so young.
What about Santa Claus? Should one child who knows he is fake spoil it for the wholke class because one day they will find out anyway?
It totally comes down to a parents right at this young age.

I think we will have to agree to disagree  the core issue of debate is here is based on how one views breast feeding. It appears that some see as a somewhat taboo, personal matter that should only be discussed at home at a certain age. Others, like me, feel it is a straight forward, factual , scientific matter that is more than appropriate to discuss at a young age.It is okay that we see it differently.

Personally, I would not have a problem with a four or five year old knowing that a baby comes from a vagina. As long as it was done in an age appropriate manner. I am a firm believer in openness and honesty regarding the human body and all its functions. Obviously, others might feel different.

Kids pretending to breastfeed at school
As a teacher I take these discussions personally because I feel we can never win with parents. YOu have NO idea how issues and decisions like this are difficult to make. I can't even discuss with my students who I am going to vote for or other social beliefs I have. That is why a topic like breastfeeding, even in kindergarten, I wouldn't even want to touch.

That is great you are so open about it, and I respect the way you are OK with a teacher discussing a womans body and what it does.
I just don't feel that way, and never will. Some things should be left up to the parents at a young age. As a country we really need to stop telling each other that we have to be OK with anything and everything because one person or a group feels it is OK.
Being politically correct is turning our youth into overly sensitive people who are afraid to speak their minds for fear of being lashed out at or take offense to something because someone else doesn't agree with the way they do or see things. They are expected to accept everything. And you know what, not everyone has to be OK with everything, just because one person or a group of people think it's OK doesn't it make it right or OK in someone elses mind.
I am not saying at all you are doing that. I am just seeing what this country is turning into, and this is kind of an example of that, especially if a teacher is going to teach my child about vaginas and breastfeeding at 4, when I may not feel it is time for her to know about it. People would look at me as being closed minded and not politically correct because it is so accepted in todays society.
And as I stated before I did breastfeed & pump, and my daughter will know what that is from the start b/c I plan on it with my next child. But it is my business as to when she learns, and no one elses.

I posted my video to show how natural and innocent bf is.
And if it's OK for a teacher to let children know how to keep certain parts private why can't they teach children or let them know their is more than one way to feed a baby?
If they can explain and teach one way why not another?
Omg!!! You need to stop
It is not an appropriate conversation to be having with 4 year olds who are NOT your children!
I am glad you BF good for you! Good for your child! There is nothing wrong with it.
I didnt. My son doesnt know about that stuff. He is 4. I dont even call his private a penis. We just say pee pee. Shoot me. He is a baby to me. I dont want him walking around saying penis. I dont say fart either to him. He didnt know what boobies were til a few weeks ago when he asked me bc he was curious and my husband and i discussed it with him. WE discussed it with him. I do not want his teacher discussing it with him at 4. Why is that not ok with you?
And as a teacher, we have enough on our plates. I have no desire to deal with those phone calls crom parents of other children questing why this was happening in class or why we discussed this in class
You video was nice but unnecessary for this discussion.
And your poor child that has to be seen by 10000s of strangers (perverts and molesters too im sure who may be lurking) sucking on your boob. Lovely! Really!

My 3yo and 5yo boys have no idea what a vagina is. They think it is funny that I pee from my butt. lol
We never talk about it in depth but I think my 3yo may think that he came out of my belly button.

This totally drives home her point - its ridiculous that you are viewing breastfeeding as something titillating or sexual. This is why we need more education and more acceptance. It is not a sexual act. SHE IS FEEDING HER CHILD.
And what is wrong with the word penis?

Kids pretending to breastfeed at school
I, ME, MYSELF, MUAH would tell my child. NOT you, a teacher, a friend. I am sorry but why are we not understanding that some people want to have these discussions with their own children. YOU have no right to tell my child ANYTHING. I also mentioned above my daugher will be spoken to as soon as she notices, but that is my decision and my right, and who am I to tell another parent when it's appropriate. You people are all about don't judge, your juding all the time on this forum. Well guess what, I don't want you discussing important (in my mind) topics with my kid, so don't judge me.
And Tomcat my daughter would not walk up to a nursing mother in my presence, I have hawk eye. We don't walk up to strangers.

I, ME, MYSELF, MUAH would tell my child. NOT you, a teacher, a friend. I am sorry but why are we not understanding that some people want to have these discussions with their own children. YOU have no right to tell my child ANYTHING. I also mentioned above my daugher will be spoken to as soon as she notices, but that is my decision and my right, and who am I to tell another parent when it's appropriate.

so you're not gunna try to answer?
my question that is.
just want to make sure I understand what it is your afraid that would find out inappropriately.
i had a kid come up to me. no one knew i was nursing. he was a friend's kid, so i wasn't a stranger. he asked me what the baby was doing.
i said, she's feeding. then he asked, where's her bottle? to which i said, she's drinking her milk from me. he looked confused, shrugged, and walked away.
i wasn't sure what to say because of what his parents might think, because they are very private people, and did not breastfeed. i was worried i would say the wrong thing, but i don't think i did.
i don't think there is a wrong thing to say when sharing this with a child. milk comes from mama's. and sometimes we put it in a bottle.
what's so inappropriate about this?
