I never knew there was such a thing as a World Breastfeeding Month until a few days ago. If you haven't heard it's now so be prepared to hear about boobs, boobs and more boobs. To make my breastfeeding advocate friends proud I am dedicating this post to them. It's been 3.5 years since my boobs have retired but breastfeeding is the best feeling in the world so I can't help but crashing the party.
The first week was hell, it helped to have mama helping me out.
It was so convenient to just whip out the boob. Especially on planes!
It gave me an excuse to watch Big Brother.
Forgetting to put your boob back in your top at a party is always fun.
Who can resist a milkdrunk baby?
The second time around was so easy I didn't need ridiculous amounts of lanolin.
Cheers! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave and confident to have your photos taken while nursing! I can't do that! :))) I'm the type who would need privacy and cover-ups to be able to nurse comfortably. Failed at first, my second time was a breeze as well!
i love love love the milkdrunk photo!!! and on hindsight, i wish i had more nursing pix. i hardly had any. =( sadness (and for a moment, that thought about having another one to be able to breastfeed, has ended... hahaha!)
ReplyDeleteLove your photos! Especially the one at the party...oh Rone, hug! Hay, I regret not taking a single picture of me boobing! I still remember my last "session" with Carmen...sniffs.
ReplyDeleteYour breastfeeding shots are so cool. Poster-worthy! :D
ReplyDeleteI never really made a conscious effort to have a boobing picture of me taken but I'm glad I have these. The only thing I regret is how huge I look in all of them. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the photos, Rone! I have a few of Vito nursing, but I didn't have your raw gorgeousness, so I won't be posting them anytime soon, huhuhu.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was there for me, too. I wouldn't have gotten through hell week (what I call the first week of boobing) without her.
You mean my manas gorgeousness? Check out my cheeks and double chin.
ReplyDeleteI love the milk drunk look too! Satisfied mommy, satisfied baby! I wish my nursing photos are as nice as yours! Mine are either I look funny or I have messy hair haha!
ReplyDeleteCai, my hair is messy is all the pics! Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThe milkdrunk photo is so adorable! Congrats and enjoy breastfeeding!
ReplyDeleteOh lovely photos! I think I only got one pic of me nursing and I just look sooo haggard in it. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI wish you were around for my Working Mom August special on public breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteBarni, I was living in Spain when I was breastfeding. There was no such things as nursing covers and baring a breast was nothing to them. I didn't realize it was such an issue till I came home one Christmas friends would throw a lampin over me when I would do it in public.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Not surprised. But if you buy a copy of WM, you might be heartened to know that you're in good company. Hopefully, evolution is taking place, however slowly.
ReplyDeleteWill do Barni!
ReplyDeletelove the party pic rone! i've done the exact same thing, accidentally of course but i wasn't breastfeeding then so uhm...
ReplyDeletehappy breastfeeding month guys!!
Hmmmmm. Not sure I want to know exactly what happened at your party, Neve.
ReplyDeleteJust read this Rone!! Great photos and thank YOU for giving breastfeeding the face of "normalcy". and i love that party photo!!! i can't believe someone actually snapped a shot of you AND handed the photo to you. haha! great memories
ReplyDeleteJenny, that picture was taken by my sister in law. She didn't even notice until I commented on the photo posted on Facebook. Which is a good thing I suppose.
