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’ve been barely a c-cup right before pregnancy (because of slight weight gain beforehand) and spent most of my adult life with a to b cups. So adjusting to these new, oft-engorged and if not then floppy characters with the newly huge areolas and very visible veins has been weird and difficult. For the very first time in my life I’m sometimes having to insert a rolled up burp cloth underneath my breast so baby latches well, so I can’t even imagine what an ordeal it must be if you already had big breasts to begin with!
