Breastfeeding Outrage !

I almost forgot today is also Breast fest day ... I have a photo of me tandem breastfeeding my twin sons (at home) but haven't decided whether to put it up.

I respect the stand they are taking but sometimes I don't see what the fuss is about.

I know some of my dearest friends wanted to BF (their bodies or baby [or babies] couldn't be forced into doing it -even my own twin J refused to BF for 5 months). Some even wanted to BF for longer than their infants chose -self weaning earlier.I don't want to cause any angst or sadness. The pain digs deep and it kills them . So respectfully I say ...

I am proud to have been able to BF my twins for 15 months. I have posted this before Dr Seuss for Breastfeeding Mummies ... and I have BF in most of those places ... discreetly as I can !

I don't tandem feed in public (except once at the ABA meeting) but, I think, if I had too I would. You can't see much flesh and why should anybody be looking that closely at you.

The Great Breast Fest Montage I will leave it up to you to decide if you want to watch it. It is slow moving but moving and background music is perfect.
