If you do happen to notice that someone is breastfeeding, a smile would be fine! Please don't do the milk's up sign. I know I would get weirded out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186597747141068105.post-50929990047836104322010-04-28T19:42:30.267-04:002010-04-28T19:42:30.267-04:00Yeah, uhh... if you want it to not be awkward, sti...Yeah, uhh... if you want it to not be awkward, stick to a smile or a nod. The "Milks Up" sign.... lioos like how a guy... errr... uhhh... yeah<br /><br />anyway, you will get laughs not only from others who are not familiar with the sign, but also from any guy from 5th grade on up because of what it looks like. Sorry to burst your bubble. <br /><br />Why not try holding up the M in sign language. You could even fist-bump with the M in sign language, how cool would that be. Better than giving an air-handy.stvancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230236877004417284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186597747141068105.post-65325206685442499922010-04-26T14:26:57.954-04:002010-04-26T14:26:57.954-04:00CUTE idea!!

My toddler signs milk that way, it could get confusing for some, lol! In a way I like the idea of a sign but I also think a smile and nod communicates so much more without requiring an explanation. Plus, since that is already a universal sign of encouragement, recognition, and approval, any onlookers that may see already understand that which provides an educational opportunity. <br /><br />So I'm not sure personally. I'll have to think about it some more.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044848132874174201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186597747141068105.post-38742548630918725622009-11-17T00:38:35.496-05:002009-11-17T00:38:35.496-05:00Funny, Lily already does the "Milk's Up&q...Funny, Lily already does the "Milk's Up" all on her own! <br /><br />Love it.Dou-la-lahttp://dou-la-la.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
