All Boobs All the Time
I’ve spent quite a bit of my time in the past couple of weeks reading about breastfeeding, taking my basic courses so I can start taking Lactation Education courses and doing training for the Peer Counselor job. All I seem to do is read about, write about, and talk about boobs. While it doesn’t bother me, I have a feeling my family’s getting a little tired of hearing about breastfeeding all the time.
I haven’t yet figured out how to properly interact with my mom in regards to the breastfeeding thing. I don’t want her to feel as if I’m denigrating her choice to formula feed me. I 100% believe she made the best choice for our family at that moment in time. At the same time, I want to tell her everything I’m learning. Call me a raging boob-dork but it’s exciting to learn so much and I like to share. It’s just really hard to tell my mom things like, “Hey! You know that a new study shows breastfed babies have a higher IQ, less illness and four trillion other positives? Hey, you didn’t breastfeed me, right?” How the heck does one walk that line?
Just for giggles, the Landover Baptist Church has found that breastfeeding is a gateway sin. Damn those demonic impulses triggered by sucking!
ETA: LOB is a great religious satire site.

What???? Really??? UGH!!! I have no other words. Sorry.
Stephanie’s last blog post..When kisses and touches become so special!
I’m still so excited for you that I can’t stand it!
Talk to your Mom. Tell her what you told us. That you understand her choice and are 100% fine with it, but that you are so excited about what you are learning and want to share what you’ve learned with her. Maybe she will find herself in coversation with a young mom who needs encouragement to BF and you’ve given her the exact words to say to her. How cool would that be?
Another thought. Isn’t your Mom in a position to have some influence in the workplace for Mom’s who must work fulltime? This information could help her help lots of women!
That website…OMG! I don’t have words!
