Breast Feeding spoken word video

I stumbled upon this from another sight, but I think it's really powerful and just what some of us may need as our little ones are getting older, and people are beginning to give us the side-eye as we continue to breast feed.

I do not mean offense to anyone who FF.  I do believe that breast milk is best, but I also know everyone has their very personal reasons to formula feed, and I would never dream of questioning your choices.

Re: Breast Feeding spoken word video

  • Great video.  It is pretty damn pathetic when people get offended by breastfeeding.  Get the hell over it.  I use a cover when we're out but she hates it. I'm feeling inspired to stop covering up.  

     

  • We were unable to BF even after exhausting every option to make it possible, but I very much support you ladies. You shouldn't have to cover up, ever. BFing is a wonderful, natural, and beautiful thing and if people don't like it, they can get over it. You should be very proud of what you are able to give your LO's.

  • I love this. My husband made my breastfeed in the bathroom when we were in public. He used to wrestle (like the type on tv) and I went to breastfeed her at one of the shows in the bathroom and there was poop in the toilets. I was done hiding, after that I told him I refused to hide anymore and he just needed to suck it up. He said he was afraid of offending someone, but I said I don't care, they need to get over it too.
