Anyone who shared that intimate of a relationship with a pump did not fail. That takes work, dedication and love.

You are brave and beautiful for sharing all of this about yourself.

I tried everything I could to breastfeed my son, but had to give up after 2 months because of a medical condition he had. I’ll be posting about that on the 10th, on my blog ( http://sarcasticmom.blogspot.com ) as I support BF moms.

And you’re right. Women should feel confident to feed their children in WHATEVER way they choose. The most important thing is the health and nurturing of the child. Breast – covered or in the open, bottle – breast milk or formula, whatever.

You’re doing what works best for you and still in your son’s best interest. That makes it what’s best for him.

Again, thanks for sharing your experience.

My boobs were at least three times the size of the head of my 3-weeks-early baby girl. I was terrified for months that I was going to suffocate her.

I did nurse, but it was a huge challenge to do it in public, and I was never comfortable baring it all. Cause “all” was a lot.

What is harder than nursing in public? Blogging about your insecurities around nursing, in public or otherwise. You are pretty brave too.

I am feeling for you in this post.

I support mothers rights to do what feels right! No one can make the decisions about your body for you.

Whether you feed in public or private or bottlefeed, it is all about what works for you.

Expressing is such hard work. I salute you for your commitment to expressing. I can NOT express to save a life and women that can and do are like gods to me.

You are doing a brilliant job!

(((hugs)))

?��Ǩ?�Tiny innocent suffocated by enormous gross boob. News at 11.?��Ǩ�� ? THAT had me giggling to non stop. I love this post and could not agree more that it should be legal. Everywhere. It’s insane we even have to advocate for something so natural.

Ohh…I can feel your pain with breast issues. I too have gigantic mammaries. I am self conscious. I get tired of the comments….the jokes. I hate that feeling you get when you are talking to a man but they aren’t looking at your face…there was a great Saturday Night Live skit about that, where the evolutionary process had finally resulted in women’s eyeballs migrating down and being in their nipple so they could look in men’s eyes during conversation. I hate having to look for things that fit well and don’t draw even more attention……..but I did nurse……I grew up and lived during my nursing days in a very laid back eath mama environment where everyone let it all hang out and no one thought anything about it……..come to think of it, if I had never left that environment I might not be self conscious now. Okay, have to retreat and think about that now.
