FLOPPY BOOBS UNITE!
Clubmom blog from Cheeky Lotus clearly defined the occupational requirements of a mom blogger. Go check it out– and come back!
I am NOT alone. Take special note of that last line, about perky boobs. I am REALLY not alone!
Today Hubby awoke from his nap to see our Lil’ E nursing, (we ARE weaning, sort of) and had the NERVE to remark, “honey, I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but the more and longer he nurses, the more flat your boobs will get. I’m just trying to help you.”
Don’t worry, I snapped back, “ME? HELP ME? I LOVE nursing, and so does Lil E, so my flabby boobs aren’t helping YOU!!!!”
Oh, men!
So I decided to share this hilarious poem I found in my Mothering mag:
Dr. Suess for Nursing Moms (unknown)
Would you nurse her in the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?
I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse without or with a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.
Can you nurse with seatbelt on?
Can you nurse from dusk til dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her til she’s full!
Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy, strong and smart,
Mommy’s milk is the best start!
Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who ban lactation,
I have the perfect explanation:
Mother’s milk is tailor-made;
It’s the perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes and even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them, “Breasts the perfect food!”
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be crass or crude,
I know breastmilk’s the perfect food!
We make as much milk as we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There’s no compare to milk from breast –
The perfect food, above the rest.
Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet.
Mommy’s milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can’t be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.
It’s not about what’s good for you,
It’s best for babies, through and through.
I will nurse him in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be, lads and ma’am.
I will nurse, cause MOM I AM!
