"'Uh oh. Some of us mums are being chastised for pumping. No one bats an eyelid prepping their own breakfast, why choose to get flustered over my baby having his? Boobs were designed to feed....'How funny that some fat, cells and glands could so deeply offend so many. Being a mum is hard enough. ..... Seemingly, everyone knows how to raise YOUR baby except you.....'If you feed with formula, you're supposedly the devil, if you breastfeed, you're offending those that don't or can't and worse yet, the patriarchy won't be able to control themselves...stop titillating the men folk!'....'My body, my baby, my choice. ...my miracle baby. It's a part of our bond. I love, LOVE doing it for him....The photos of other women breastfeeding, pumping, normalise things for me and if mine, in turn, do the same for other mothers who feel embarrassed, judged or that they should need to stifle their baby under a Muslin lest they offend some wallflower with their life giving, breastfeeding skills, I'll continue posting....these mums deserve support and respect, not critique...'"
