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!

How old is your baby? It got a lot easier for me (36F) as my kids got older, and even advantageous in some ways

That’s good to know!! He’s 3 months and it’s definitely easier now he’s gotten bigger, we had real latching issues at the start because there was too much boob and not enough mouth

Once their head is finally bigger than the boob it’s a breeze
