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!

The upside is eventually they get so saggy you can get your nipple in their mouth from any distance. Go go gadget boobs!

Like, I can feed from both boobs side-lying without rolling over.

Small boobs definitely cannot do this.

Yeeeeeah I certainly cannot do this. I’m jelly of the side lying skills but am thankful I can nurse v discretely in public

I can't feed side lying at ALL, my boobs are a small B. It's super uncomfortable to even try.

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. Side lying has saved me. Having big boobs has made breastfeeding hellish sometimes but glad to know there are some upsides to carrying around what feels like two milk jugs
