Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss style (this is hilarious!)

Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss style!

Would you nurse him in a park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse her in the park.
I would nurse him in the dark.
I'd nurse with or without a boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk til dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her til she's full.

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy's milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It's perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.

To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast's the perfect food.
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would never be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk's the perfect food!

We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There's no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.

Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can't be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I'll meet her needs, I'll always try.
It's not about what's good for you,
It's best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads, leave me be ma'am
I will nurse her, MOM I am.

Only if the car isn't moving! Breast may be best but NOT if you're about to have an accident.

Also...

It makes her healthy, strong and smart

There is no link between breastmilk and IQ now that proper studies have been done and not just looking at a socioeconomic study under a different name.

That aside, wonderful poem.

Share away :)

Actually a recent study has proven that there may be a link between BF and IQ it was a study between siblings who had and hadn't been breastfed and the breastfed siblings did noticibly better.

Not tryign to start an argument because every study can be twisted to convey what the researcher wants just like someone wanting to prove bf has no impact on IQ can come up with a study to justify that. Just saying that there is a link and its up to the individual what they want to believe


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this poem and have shared it with many mums

ETA im prettys ure a boppy is a dummy? could be wrong though

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

Made me giggle because you do sometimes get frowned upon for breastfeeding in public.

I like that! :)

I love it. Makes me wish I had ink in my printer :lol: How very cool (ok, the seatbelt belt bit made me go :o, but let's call it poetic license)

According to google, a 'boppy' is a feeding pillow :D

I thought that too until I tried it. It is possible, although not very comfortable...

Very cool poem. What is the source?

No-one knows the original author but if anyone finds out please let me know...

Re the seatbelt thing... I would love to reword it, but I don't want to edit the authors original work.

Starfish... you're joking... right?

Fantastic :clap:

Seatbelt could be on a plane...I guess.

I have breastfed on a bus and on a train
Also on a fishing boat
I have done it on a ferry and a plane
And on a Chistmas parade float

I breastfed when they are hungry
And also when they are sad
I often feed them to sleep
Even though that's 'bad'

I always have food with me
Carried right there on my chest
I am lucky that I am able
'Cause we all know breast is best!

Art - that is wonderful!

I kind of 'fed' yesterday with my seatbelt on... I was expressing whilst DP was driving as he was going to be looking after DD for an hour or so and wouldn't do so without some milk even though she had been fed before we left.

oh my goodness, just came across this then...FANTASTIC! Im giving it to my mother who is a midwife, she'll love this!

This is fantastic! Im sending it to all I know!!

I do feed with my seatbelt on... I quite often do.

I sit in the back with the girls. DD2 is in her seat, all buckled up. I sit in my seat all buckled up and I just move around a little until she can reach boob.... Not too hard as these boobies are rather large! :O
It comes in handy on long trips when we want to keep going and she wants to feed. I don't really see anything wrong with it. We are both strapped in and safe. Actually we have been pulled over for rbts whilst i was feeding either DDs and none of the policepersons have had problems with it either!!!
And I have done this with both DD's too :)

Its not that difficult to feed with the seatbelt on, but I suppose it depends on you size and shape, etc. I'm tall, so my boob used to be at the same height as DD's mouth, so that's how we did it. I don't think I could do it now as she's too tall...

That's gorgeous, that is the sort of thing that should be on a poster in public spaces

*bump*

Aw love this poem! :D
