Breast or Not to Breast....

Hello moms. You know what realization I came to 3 years into becoming a mother 8 years ago? Motherhood (ok fine even fatherhood) is the only job that does not come with a manual? No training courses. No "how to" section. Well the last one there kind of is, but that does not cover everyone. You can always ask for peoples advice, but you will get a different answer from everyone. Want to know why? BECAUSE WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT! And that's ok.

The past week I saw a video circulating Facebook. This video struck such a nerve for me that I wanted to write about it. The video was Alyssa Milano's interview with Wendy Williams. Alyssa is such an amazing advocate for breastfeeding mamas. She does not care where she is or who she is around, the need of her child is more important than anyone's feelings about it. If you haven't watched it the link is below.

Your nose is made to breathe and hinder particles from getting into your body. Your vagina is made to deliver babies. Mens penises are made to procreate. Each body part has a purpose! What makes breast so taboo that we cannot use them for what they are made for? People will argue that breasts are sexual and that its inappropriate for it to be shown in public. OMG! How did I not know this? I am SOOOO glad that no one ever shows their boobs, hell not even side boob since that is normally how much breast is shown during breastfeeding. Everyone follows that rule right?

I'm glad we see absolutely NO boob because how horrible would that be?

I wrong move JLO and you will be ridiculed by EVERYONE!

If breasts are only sexual, is Miley having sex with everyone watching her?

Some will say the pictures above are from awards shows or movie premieres what kids will see that? We worry about the kids seeing BREASTS! Oh you are right kids probably won't watch this.

But how about regular tv?

Lovely Kate Upton on a Carls Jr Commercial...they will air it any time they want

Even just showing this so far some will say "HEY NOW! When you are breast feeding you can potentially see a nipple!" Ummm well if you want to go that far dipshit, the only time you MIGHT see a nipple is if the baby unexpectedly pulls off during the nursing session. Ok so you are saying nipples are bad? Ok, I get it. No nipples....but wait...I am confused....

What is in place of this mans nipples? 

Yes an inexperienced mother may show a nip here and there when latching and unlatching the baby. But it is such a short thing that unless YOU are STARING are her nipples, which lets be honest you would be the creep then not her, you wouldn't even notice.

What do you see that is wrong with this picture? Nothing right? It is purely beautiful!

This awesome mommies doesn't even have a shirt on, I can't see nipple can you? NOPE! Just happy full baby!

Even with larger breast women you can't see a whole lot! Wait...I stand corrected...I see a whole lot of love and connection going on here

 

 

Don't believe the myth you can't have skin to skin or nurse your baby if you have a C-Section...this mama definitely rocked it!

Lets play out this scenario for you haters. Imagine you are flying somewhere, and there is a new mom on the plane but since obviously breast feeding is so "UNNATURAL" (f*cking ridiculous) the baby is crying and crying and crying! Would you rather hear THAT or see THIS?

Baby and passengers are happy. 

You would not even know this was happening unless you were looking for it. The only problem with breast feeding is people who do not support breast feeding.

So lets recap with these two pictures:

 

I want to end with this last thought. It does not go out to the people that hate breast feeders in public, it goes out to SOME  breast feeding mamas. Just because you see someone NOT breast feeding their child does not mean they do not care about the health of their child. It does NOT mean they gave up. It does NOT mean they are selfish. Think about this, was the mother too sick to nurse? Did the mother beat herself up horribly because she couldn't make any milk? Was this child adopted?

This little one was adopted and couldn't be nursed because of the state of the biological mother.

No mom knows the story behind another mom. We need to support each other even if we do things differently.

STOP JUDGING! 

I LOVE ALL YOU MAMAS! I know my posts are more humorous than this one, but it is something I feel strongly about. Thank you to all the amazing mommies that shared their pictures and stories with me! You are helping spread the world of acceptance and love!
