What did nursing mothers do before the internet??

When my mother was here in June she talked a lot about her life when I was born (I'm the first). She had moved to Alaska from Australia to be with my dad. It was 1975 and they were living many miles outside of Fairbanks in a log cabin my dad built while he was going to college. They had chickens and pigs and rabbits. My dad would take the only vehicle to work or school; my mother would be at home all day long. No couch, no tv, no phone. One rocking chair. I don't know how she did it.

I would probably get a lot more reading done if I didn't have the internet to keep me company.

I am never on the itnernet when nursing. i nurse laying down in bed an either snooze, listen to the radio, or talk on the phone.

I told you I got soooo much reading done that first year! I sat in a big cushy rocking recliner and nursed, read and snoozed. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Oh- and figured out how to do handwork (stitching, cross stitch, etc.) over propped up nursing boy.
