If you try to breastfeed and it's not working, then you don't feel particularly good about yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother didn't find motherhood easy. I've heard her saying that. She didn't breastfeed me. I woke up when I was breastfeeding my own child thinking, 'How can a woman feel an attachment to a child without breast-feeding?'
I'm a big advocate of breastfeeding.
I hate to admit this, but before we had a baby I was kind of weirded out by breastfeeding. It looked strange, and I was always like, 'Look away! Ignore it, ignore the boobs in the room, move along, nothing to see here!'
Breast-feeding does not belong in the realm of facts and hard numbers; it is much too intimate and elemental.
For me, breastfeeding was even more painful than giving birth. And despite a lactation consultant, I felt incompetent. I forged on, barely sleeping, always either breastfeeding or pumping and never getting the hang of it.
I breastfed both my kids for two years so, you know it was very tiring emotionally and physically.
No one argues with the many benefits of breastfeeding for those women who choose it.
It's not like I'm cooking! I'm breastfeeding - I feel like that's the best cooking I could do.
I think breastfeeding is part of what helped me lose my baby weight. I just dump it all into my chubby little son.
I think they say that when you're breast feeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It's a little easier. It's like a workout within itself. It's very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.
