Clearbrite that was a very moving post, I sat here with my mouth open imagining the nurses treating you and this other poor women that way how appauling.

I am a big breasted women too and I found that to make it even harder for me as my breast was bigger than my babies head, and yes having the roled towel helped so so much.

Alphia I think you touched on something very important about the main rasons as to why some women choose not to breast feed, I wanted to feed but it felt 'wrong' to me and I didnt like doing it at all, and what you said about women not accepting thier bodies in that way is very true, I think at the time I was feeling that breasts were infact sexual and I was confused about what I was doing and was it the 'right' thing for me to be doing, I have matured alot over the past 6 years and feel more at peace with my body and its real functions and I now trust in my body too, and I also agree that I think this is because people dont see breast feeding as important as it actually is, I think its very important that we start to make the public aware that breast feeding is very natural more so than formular feeding, so that we as women can feel comfortable, and not judged, I have heard so many women here on BB over the time I have been here saying how someone said this or they were asked to keave a restraunt etc I think that is utterly appauling and that just makes it more about breasts being sexual when it has nothing to do with sex at all, and that is a lack of understnding and education of the people around us.
