When did the 80's hit the 30 year mark?


For those women not only wondering when they became an adult but how the heck they made it past 25.

Woke up before dawn and took am hour in my hotel shower to hand express milk because I am out of town on business with only a mannual hand pump and woke up with what look like a bad boob job. And now I must sit through hours of meeting with no break to pump. #workingmom #breastfeeding (Taken with instagram)

“We are all made stronger when a woman can breastfeed, in public, as a member of her community, while getting shit done.”

That is why I do it, I hate the fact that I have to hide and be embarrassed because I just so happen to be at church, at my husband’s relative’s house or at a bookstore and my baby’s hungry.

Here’s a “Roller Derby girl breastfeeding” pic, and it’s an amazing picture. I know I’m a straight white guy and thus, by default, haven’t a clue, but the author of the blog post I found it on (click here if ya want to read more) says it way better than I ever could: 

The feminist campaign to allow women the full freedom to breastfeed is about all of us. It is not really about the choices of individual mothers and their babies. It is about women being considered as important..  as fucking normal as men. We are all made stronger when a woman can breastfeed, in public, as a member of her community, while getting shit done.  Because when that happens it says that women belong, it says that women’s bodies belong, it says that women are here.

Waiting for his meal, I find it amazing that he is already in size 2 pampers at 2 months old!

  • So I strapped on the newborn after leaving breastfeeding support group and swung by Bed Bath and Beyond because baby was fussy. I knew he would not make the drive home with out screaming himself into a infant car seat sweat, Bed Bath and Beyond was nearby and I decided to soothe him while shopping. Maybe a minute after walking into the store:
  • Female Senior Citizen: Is that a baby?
  • Raising Child Mom: (awkward) yeesss
  • Female Senior Citizen: How old is he?
  • Raising Child Mom: 3 weeks old... (continuing to shop)
  • Female Senior Citizen: Why do you have him covered, trying to protect him from disease?
  • Raising Child Mom: Uh, he is really young and (mumbles) he is nursing.
  • Female Senior Citizen: Let me see him.
  • Raising Child Mom: (Removes Light Weight Receiving Blanket)
  • Female Senior Citizen: Oh my he's breastfeeding! (Quickly walks away)
  • Raising Child Mom: That's what nursing means... (continues shopping)
