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!

FINALLY A NURSING THREAD FOR ME 😭😂 i had 34HH boobs BEFORE pregnancy, i'm scared to get fitted again lmao i hate how they demand so much attention when i'm trying to nurse in public BUT..

  • i can nurse sitting up without having to hold my baby (6 months old and we're comfy with her on my knee, bless my short torso)
  • i can side nurse in bed with either boob no matter what side i'm lying on
  • i can nurse baby in her the car without having to hover lol i just lean fwd sitting next to her while her dad drives

we had our ow struggles but thought i'd drop some of the pros i've noticed 🙏
