Showing your Boobies in Public

Tuesday, July 03, 2007

While we were out a few week-ends ago, we noticed signs for a nurse-in, as a protest for a woman being harrassed at a local amusement park for nursing her baby in public. As we passed by, I joked that there were 7 women and 40 men there in support. *giggle* You can read the full article here.

It is completely legal in the US for women to breast feed in public, though each state has their own rules on the books. What I find to be the worst part of this story is that when she recited her rights to the police, it was like they were hearing this law for the first time. They did not enforce the law at all, rather they continued to threaten to kick the woman out if she did it again.

This all brings me back to my own boobies and how they are growing during the pregnancy. Yet another disappointment in life, as I always thought my crowning glory would be the day I would fill an Double D cup bra when I was pregnant. Ok, maybe I also thought that I would grow breasts that look like a porn star. That even with my big belly, Hugh Hefner would finally come calling for me to do a cover shoot with my hot new boobs. Well, unfortunately those boobs only come on the plastic surgery tree and I am left wondering what all the fuss is about. I'm also left trying to figure out why DG never looks me in the eye anymore?

I hope that more awareness and the more that people are around feeding babies, the less they will be 'uncomfortable'. Relax, people.

I'm wondering how the park thought she could breastfeed without being exposed. It's kind of the point after all.

I used to be modest. And when I first started feeding Claire, I tried to keep us covered and in out of the way places. Eventually, I just went with the flow and did it anywhere. The only place I wouldn't feed was right in front of my Dad or Father-in-law. Those days are gone, but I still expose my bra about ten times a day when they pull at my shirt.

And if your ta-ta's are nice now, wait until the milk comes in on the second day after birth. It's like carrying around two melons.
