Normalising breastfeeding would be women in tears with exhaustion, frustration at a baby not latching , the worry of no milk coming in, trying to manage other children around breastfeeding, the reality that it can take days/ weeks to establish
This is so true! Sat feeding by little one now and dealing with 80% of this! (Luckily the eldest is still asleep for now so not having to manage them too!)
My other issue with her breastfeeding storyline is similar to my issue with her fertility "struggle" storyline. If she struggled in the past, she should know that it is such personal topic that
can make mother's feel guilty if they choose to bottle feed and stir up lots of emotions for mums. And yet she is showing no discretion or thought for those mothers.
Same with her pregnancy. A huge part of her announcement was that she struggled to get pregnant, multiple miscarriages (even to go so far as to include her paperwork about it) and yet there probably wasn't a post between the announcement and Roess' arrival that was not pregnancy-related.
Of course she shouldn't feel like she can't share her joy or successes in case it upsets some randoms on the internet, but she could do so without shoving it down everyone's throats!
And finally... That bottle feeding story had my heart in my throat. Poor baby has no way of letting them know she is full, or needs a breather, or needs a minute to swallow. The milk flows from a bottle constantly, whether baby wants it or not.
