I am so frustrated with her lack of self-awareness. Yes, not that many women breastfeed. You know what are the main reasons for this?
1. Many new mothers eat too little to produce enough breast milk. And why is this? Because the society tells them that they need to bounce back as quickly as possible. And here is Melanie, parading on social media showing off her bod and creating even more pressure on new mothers. Shame on you, Melanie.
2. Breastfeeding locks mothers into their homes. You cannot really leave the child with the father or other caregiver if you need to feed the baby every hour. Pumping milk is also very time-consuming. And here is this influencer lying in bed in the attic of her parents-in-law with her husband (who is not working) telling how easy it is to find time to breastfeed. Well, good for you, since you never need to leave your bed.
3. Women are not taught how to breastfeed. This would be a great chance for her to share techniques and tips. But nope, of course she doesn't, because it all comes natural to her.
