The downside of breastfeeding

November 29th, 2006 at 10:30 pm

Yes, I am totally for breastfeeding - it wa the right choice for me and my boys. So you may be wondering that on earth the downside is...I'll tell you.
(Be forewarned - this post is going to go into details of my body that may not interest you. If you don't want to have a good laugh about the state of my body, please stop reading and go to another post). There. You've been warned. Anyone who reads further and wishes they hadn't has no excuse.

Anyway...I was about to get into the shower fifteen minutes ago. I hung up my robe and my niece walked into the bathroom. She looked up at me (at my chest to be exact) and proclaimed "You have long ones just like my nana!".

WTF? I am 29 years and 1 day old and my breasts are being compared to a fifty-something year old? I guess I can't blame my niece - her mom never breastfed and was lucky to fill out an A cup, so that's her basis for comparison.
I know - this is totally off-topic, but I decided my options were to laugh or cry, and after choosing the former, I decided others might get a kick out of it too Smile
I'm actually still chuckling about it! You can't make this stuff up.

    Oh yeah I hear you. Not that my whole body isn't all stretched out, but that part is the worst of all. I am not sure if breastfeeding really mattered though. I always liked my small breasts but not they are just small and droopy - hehe - a sad site. I grew (and then shrunk back) so much during the pregnancies though I am sure I would have a good chunk of the stretchmarks and droop anyway, regardless if I breastfed. I guess I expected all that with my mid-section, but that whole part threw me off. I have often thought I look like a granny, but haven't had the pleasure of someone confirming those thoughts - LOL.

    Oh well, I just call them my battle scars. I rather have my 2 kids any day than look 18 forever. Wink

    When my kids were really little, my DD saw her brother nude once and asked when hers (obviously the boy part) was going to grow.....talk about trying to figure out what to say while trying not to laugh.....

    Monkeymama: Oh, don't get me started on the stretch marks!!! I look like a road map. But then again, you are so right that the kids are worth it.
    Jan: Kids...today I was playing Pretty Pretty Princess with my niece when ds1 came along. He took the play earring and put it on his ear...then clipped it on his nose...then on his finger. Then he stood up and took his pants off and I had to say "NO! Don't put that earring THERE!" (of course, while trying not to laugh). Where do they get these ideas from???
