Depending on the location you may need high cut bloomers to be above the incision. Low cut underwear weren’t low enough for me.

Totally. Normally, if you’re unable to do your job, you’re fired. If you’re unable to do your job in a way that adversely affects someone else’s health, you should be fired quickly, and possibly exposed to legal action.
Men are awful at their jobs, yet the laws allow them to keep them.
If you literally CAN’T do your job then you’re in the wrong profession, my dude.
Absolutely a good point to make. The American/Western culture obsession with, and war over, breastfeeding is not universal. Frankly, I find all of another way to police women and their bodies. Is the baby fed? Yes? Then it is none of your business!
It’s nourishing food for babies and children that breasts make for free, and there’s not a person in the world I’m going to shame or begrudge for using that resource. Especially when our view of breasts is so pearl-clutching because straight dudes get off on them.
Seriously. Convincing people that the free, healthy food breasts make for small humans is somehow shameful or tainted or damaging to children because it comes from breasts (and oh no, men like to sexualize those!) has got to be one of the most damaging things foods industry marketing has ever done.
My husband's mom has only ever had one job: to be a mom and housewife. Her kids now range from 40 to 21 and she can't let go - of course the youngest doesn't know how to do shit because mom does everything for him, and she can't do anything on her own, not even, idk, going shopping. She won't take a vacation because…
A-MEN, sister!! Said this up higher in the thread but breastfeeding a toddler has been an amazing experience for me. There is no pressure about supply. There is no worry about whether she “getting enough.” Her not being dependent on my milk for nutrition, but still wanting to nurse for comfort, relaxation, bonding,…
Of all the scum and villainy on the internet, of all the racism and sexism and other prejudices, of all the bullying and trolling and getting people to kill themselves, by far the worst of it is targeted at moms, by moms.
My grandmother was 8 years old when she a refugee during WW2. She recalls living in a bombed out train station with about a dozen other people, all women and children, no adult men. Her mother was pregnant when they fled and gave birth in the station. Everyone was starving and my great-grandmother could not produce…
Omg
No matter what you do or how weird you are chances are you don’t fall far from the center of the bell curve. It’s a big wide world. In some places in Africa ladies breast feed goats during droughts (thanks radio lab). The point is you shouldn’t obsess. There’s always something weirder than you.
It’s interesting you mention the babies reaction to sisters, my baby is enthralled by my sister because she sounds like me and kinda looks like me. He stares at her with this freaked out amazed look like he’s trying to figure out why this woman is so much like Mommy but not Mommy.
As the risk of being judged mercilessly, here goes. I still nurse my 3+ year old. To dispel the assumptions: I don’t do it out of some sense of superiority or even because I think it’s “best”. Kid just hasn’t got around to weaning and I haven’t got sick enough of it yet to cut her off completely. I work full time, I…
The WHO recommends nursing until 2 and says the international average is between 3 and 7. Get over it America. I was done nursing my oldest when he was three, mostly because I was tandem nursing and exhausted and my body just told me he was the one who had to go. He’s 4 and would probably still be nursing if I had not…
I highly recommend An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. It’s a much better use of your time than listening to the BS Warren is spewing.
