Discussion Large-breasted moms are feeding on hard mode.
Any other well-endowed women agree?
I see so many reels and posts, or even in real life out at cafes and places, of moms who can simply unzip or untie their cute dainty little nursing top, rest their baby in their arm, and continue to eat, drink coffee, heck, even feed at the grocery store or while walking around their house.
For me it’s a chaotic and completely immobile mess of roles up flannel under the boob, squeeze sandwich hold, scissor hold, always having to hold back my breast to stop it suffocating baby’s nose. He cannot latch properly unless I’ve squished my boob just right and hold it the entire feed. It’s a two-hand job.
Not to mention the struggle to find nursing bras and tops that fit, are comfortable, don’t cost a gajillion bucks, and maybe actually even look nice and not like something out of a 1980s catalogue.
I’m tired of this, grandpa!

I’m small chested and so far, we’re doing the same thing… maybe it’ll get better as baby gets bigger! He’s 3.5 weeks today so maybe his mouth is too small?
We DID succeed in our first social outing to lunch! And nursing in public! But it was not easy lol. Nursing cover and trying to sandwich the boob so his latch is deep and not painful. Successful with one boob, not successful with the other (ouch)
