I can honestly see where a pap wouldn't disclose it...not from any intention of secrecy, but for some parents, nursing is about food primarily, and it might not something they'd think could be an issue any more than not eating pork, or using cloth over disposables, homeschooling over public schooling, when to start rice cereal, etc.

What's an issue for one isn't for another. What one might view as a parenting decision others view as a lifestyle choice.

So yeah, I *could* see this being overlooked in discussions, by purely innocent means. Until this thread, its not something I really thought of, beyond a teasing comment to my husband that 'if we adopted an infant, I'm still lactating..." which prompted his diaper horror reaction
