Thoughts While Breastfeeding

I’m a Woman. I’m a Mom. I’m a Milk Machine.

Just gift wrap a boob.

Of all the gifts you can give your baby, your milk is one of the best. 🤱🏿🤱🏾🤱🏽🤱🏼🤱🏻

@OhThatMomGlow This is the realest thing. I love bonding with my babe but I also get touched out and overwhelmed.

@OhThatMomGlow 12.5 months. I’ve started getting a lot of “He’s still nursing?” Comments already. I figured we’d go at least until 18 months-2years and that notion has been getting a lot of the eyebrow. I’m mostly surrounded by nonmoms and moms who had their babies a loooong time ago.

How do you know when it is time to stop breastfeeding?
Because this kid will still be on the boob in college if I leave it up to him.

How did you decide it was time?
How old was your kiddo?

OMG I just discovered Twitter night mode.

Breastfeeding all night just got ... well ...minutely more bearable?

Shit the lactation specialist didn’t tell you #1236

One boob/nipple might just hurt all the time. This will be the one your baby will choose to torment (pinching, nipple pulling, kicking, etc).

My left boob has had a hard year.

Just when I think I have my shit together I put the babe on the wrong boob and drown my only clean nursing bra.

Sweat.
Yours.
The Baby’s.
So much sweat.

Nursing a baby with a cold is heartbreaking and gross.

Your poor little sniffler will be fussy and frustrated and your poor boob will be slimered again and again.

Baby Teeth.

The babe figured out how to use the boob like a super soaker. I need to stop half dozing off during those way too full morning feeds. Maybe washing the sheets and bathing the dog will drive the lesson home.

Yep...breastfeeding is good for moms too! https://t.co/pS4xM3wSha

Your period is in limbo. Will it happen tomorrow? In 10 weeks? In 8 months???

Is your uterus broken?
Are you pregnant again?

You’ll be totally caught off guard and unprepared.

Surprise!! 🦈💉😭🤬😍🍫🌮🛌

I don’t even 100% know why I find this as funny as I do. But I seriously do.

[Lucy Claire @lucyclairvoyant]

me: could you hand me the boppy?
husband: *already repeatedly saying sorry as he digs around the closet* here you go. *hands me the Bop It*

[Lucy Claire @lucyclairvoyant]

with the amount of times my child has tried to nurse off my damn stomach, I have got to stop meowing at him. I think he thinks we are cats.

Model and mom Mara Martin breastfed her five-month-old daughter while on the runway at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit show on Sunday night. https://t.co/hfb2fsAH9v

After an evening of complaining about the dog smelling terrible and how he needs a bath asap, I realized that it was really my nursing bra. I’ve been having leaking issues & apparently my bra was filled with spoiled milk.
Cranky babe, endless laundry, 100° heat. FML.
