Breastfeeding During Take-Off and Landing

November 8, 2008




A while ago I wrote a series of posts on breastfeeding on an airplane. In one of the posts, I provided information on airline breastfeeding policies and was baffled by Air Transat's comment that breastfeeding during take-off and landing would not be possible due to the holding position required by Transport Canada.  The link that [...]

July 29, 2008




Yesterday I read a message board post about yet another woman who was told to stop breastfeeding on an airplane (United Airlines). Here is a snippet from her post: I had my eyes half closed and she was nursing herself to sleep when all of a sudden I feel this blanket being thrown over us. I jerk [...]

When a vacation is not a vacation

June 12, 2008




We just returned from a month in Europe, seeing friends and family, touring small villages, hiking in the mountains, going to the beach. But it wasn't really a vacation. At least not what I used to call a vacation. When I looked up the definition of a vacation in various dictionaries, there are invariably two [...]
