Yup seeing Terrie fake breastfeeding her newborn from several kilometres away does nothing but damage to anyone looking on who is trying to actually establish breastfeeding. For a natural act, it doesn't fall into place for most without epic effort, time and very often tears. Seeing Terrie 2 weeks post section in her crop top, apparently a breastfeeding mom with no prob going out and about nightly while her dream baby slept like an angel.. only served to make me, a 3rd time experienced bf mother feel like nothing but an over weight, over whelmed, worthless failure who could just about wear clothes and barely kept her 3 kids alive.
I couldn't care less how she actually fed, but it's a bit deceitful for my liking to strongly allude to bf while never actually being at home with baby, while presenting the most polished, perfect appearance I've ever seen in a post partum mom. Telling us all how easy and amazing it is. If I was looking at that after my 1st, I'd have been more inclined to throw in the breastfeeding towel, thinking that I'm clearly effing useless at it if I can barely function while she is clearly sailing through it.
That shit hurts women and I think we're right to be pissed. Would absolutely have respect for any of the insta moms who would say that they didn't bf cause they didn't want to. That they tried it, didn't enjoy it so stopped. That it didn't work out for any number of reasons so they're no longer doing it. That they did it for a week, it was going fine but they have decided to now formula feed. Just because they're public figures doesn't mean they don't get a choice but the lying is awful.
