So many breastfeeding mothers who want to “normalise” it (it bleeping is normalised, its the choosing not to do it that isn’t normalised and I say this as a breastfeeding mother) take totally the wrong route. Like they’re trying to recruit all the women they can. Like they’re bleeping Jehovah’s Titnessess. That’s really not what being an advocate is. Yes speak openly about breastfeeding because there’s a few bits of it that differ with bottle feeding of course. Yes don’t hide yourself away in a toilet feeding your child. Yes free the nipple just in general. Just...be there if someone wants to ask you questions. Put yourself out there as a breastfeeding mother, let people know you’re approachable on the subject and bleeping move on with your life.
Also not wanting to question her experiences but places where I’ve had a whole tit out include the hospital, my home, countless other homes of friends and family, Nando’s, Starbucks, Debenhams, Wagamama, the park, the car, the safari park...not once been given a second look or a comment.
