Are You Seeking Breastfeeding Support?
Well I can definitely help you with that.
Or are you someone that looks down upon breastfeeding?
Have you turned your face up at a mother breastfeeding her baby before?
Why does the boob bother people so much when it’s being used to give a small one nutrients?
Well It Looks Like Our Government Has Agreed On A Breastfeeding Resolution.
Yes or No.
Well being a breastfeeding mother I guess. I need answers about what was the issue before the passing of the new law to make breastfeeding in public legal.
To some this may be the best news ever but for me it’s no biggie.
Thought #1: I Can’t Feed My Hungry Baby!!
I would assume this statement was for or from someone who can’t or couldn’t afford to buy formula for their little ones. Being a breastfeeding mother I have yet to say I can’t feed my hungry baby!
You want to know why?
To be honest, if I am out and about and baby girl is hungry I will definitely whip out my boob in a polite manner and feed baby girl because that’s what a breastfeeding mother would do. As long as I can produce milk my baby will eat from my boobs until stated otherwise.
A few places where I have fed baby girl with no cover up:
*restaurant
*in line at a place of business
*in my car
*at the mall
*on the airplane
*on the beach
*in a public bathroom
Have You Heard About The New Law Regarding Breastfeeding?
I promise I never knew it was illegal to do such a thing. It amazes me to think that feeding my baby from my boob makes other’s uncomfortable. Call me insensitive if you want but really some people just need to grow up. For example, men if you seen a woman in public feeding her baby how would you react? I am hoping that you would respect the mother but I know that some men would get disrespectful because they would take it as the woman is seeking attention. Not sure how feeding a baby is attention seeking but some will try to argue the point.
Reasons Why I Breastfeed?
For those that don’t know I am a mother of three and my breastfeeding story with all three of my children are completely different. After learning the importance of breastfeeding I made sure to educate myself of the benefits for myself and my children. The benefits are amazing and I wouldn’t have it no other way. For example, my 8 month old baby girl has yet to get sick or anything which is one of the benefits of being breastfed. Not one ear infection, cold, etc. I say all this to say mother’s sometimes when we educate ourselves on certain topics you become knowledgeable which sometimes changes your way of thinking. I am not trying to offend anyone so if you are a mother who feeds your baby formula this is not to shade you but to also encourage you to try something new as well. I will say breastfeeding is time consuming but tell me anything that’s good for you that is NOT time consuming!
I promise not to rant on and on about this but I wanted to throw my two cents in about the passing of breastfeeding in public now being legal because the government said so.
Mother’s I would love your input on this topic. Let’s talk!!
