Moms’ Groups Are Issuing ‘Golden Boobs Awards’ For Extended Breastfeeding

To breastfeed or not to breastfeed: It seems to be a constant topic up for debate among parents, experts and even random people on the street. But no matter what you end up deciding works for you and your child, the truth about breastfeeding is clear — it’s tough work. Nailing just the right latch, sticking with it during those 3 a.m. wakeup calls and pumping when you can’t be there to offer the real thing can all make it tough to commit. That’s why if you do make it through those initial months, you might feel like you deserve a major pat on the back. But what about an award?

Breastfeeding Mom Accused For “Stealing” Other Women’s Men By Publicly “Exposing” Her Breasts Reka Nyari has been breastfeeding her 34-month-old daughter Ilo ever since she gave birth to her. However, a woman told off the 39-year-old for breastfeeding her child while she was on a flight recently. Reportedly, the woman also accused Reka of attempting to pick up her man by exposing her breasts in public. Reka is now trying to spread awareness about such cases, and to prove how natural and normal breastfeeding is, so she decided to share a series of naked photos of her along with her daughter. “It has been irritating how judgemental people can be about women who breastfeed, and how sexualized the breast and nipple have become,” – she said. “Possibly the most obnoxious person was a wom...

Baby’s Eczema Cured By Using Soap Made From Breast Milk

Natural home remedies can often be an easy and quick way to treat common ailments, and the 35-year-old Joy Evans knows this more than anyone. The mom managed to miraculously treat her baby’s eczema using her breast milk.

A mother who breastfeeds her five-year-old son wants to show everyone that it is normal to breastfeed your child for as long as possible, because nursing an older child is even easier.

She breastfeeds her five-year-old son Max on a regular basis and even does that naked in the bath together.

Vintage Photos Prove That Women Have Been Publicly Breastfeeding Since Day One

It’s hard to believe that women are still being shamed for breastfeeding their babies in public, now, in the 21st century. As we all know, some people think that women should be ‘required’ to cover up or remove themselves from the public view when they need to feed their children, and the extremely natural process is regarded as disgusting. Breastfeeding has officially become legal in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands just a little over a month.

Rene Johnson took it to the social media, and she outlined the place of public breastfeeding in the American history. Her post has now gone absolutely viral, and she also a...
