If one thing has surprised me the most by the things people (family and friends) have said or felt it would be about breast feeding.
I have found that it makes most people uncomfortable. That surprises me. Even my husband is (against it) uncomfortable with it in public. Everyone thinks it's great in the privacy of my home but when it comes to visiting people or going out in public that's poo pooed.
Back in the day this is how everyone fed their babies. If they didn't breast feed their baby starved. This is what our bodies are made specifically for.
When did this become so taboo???
pretty much :) It seems like the only people who are fine with it in public are other women who have also nursed. one of my SIL's never nursed and she'd get so weird when I needed to BF. I was surprised since you see so many half naked women in magazines and on tv but to nurse a baby was that big of a deal? come on.
ReplyDeleteAll of the comments are what get to me! Thank goodness for lactation consultants and people who remind you how you are doing the best you can do for your baby!
ReplyDeleteCome over when you get a chance and let me know if the snot sucker worked... we swear by that thing now!
