  3. this is beautiful. i've been meaning to tell you that i've been inspired by people like you and have been posting more photos of myself nursing my baby. i wish i saw it more in public (usually it's just me and it feels kind of lonely). also, did you see this article on bf culture in mongolia? so fascinating. http://www.incultureparent.com/2011/02/breastfeeding-land-genghis-khan/
