Hide Your Hooters Like You Just Don't Care

I never really knew how people could be so comfortable nude. Women in playboy, models and habitual nudists baffle me. I guess I just have never been that comfortable in my skin. Maybe its because I know how I look and judge (terrible, I know!) and don't want anyone to look and judge me. That is why I never knew how freeing it would be to breastfeed.

Every woman who has a baby knows that privacy and modesty goes out the window the instant the sperm squeezes in the egg. Legs akimbo, paper gowns and poking in your most private of areas is common place, a monthly then weekly occurrence.
Then the baby appears and more nudity, people cleaning you, catheters and boobs everywhere.

I had the lactation consultants visit every day to check my progress. I have even had one over the the house. I thought if I ever had another woman squeezing, massaging and manipulating my breasts I would have at least had an orgasm in the end.

Now, I whip them out in front of everyone and anyone. I thought I would care more, I would use my hooter hider religiously, but I can't care.
My baby needs to eat.

Funny how things change. Your body right along with your mind.

I Will Be a Nursing Fool

I had tremendous problems breastfeeding after the twins were born for various reasons. My daughter nursed like a champ but her brother did not. That combined with complications from my c-section, and the fact that I got free formula for a year, led me astray from breastfeeding.

This time, I am full speed ahead on the breastfeeding train, and I am asking you the great Internets for help. Give me your best tips, tricks and breastfeeding products. Did you set a schedule or nurse on demand? Tell me how your experience was and what you wished someone told you before you learned the hard way.

Thank you and goodnight.
