Totally understandable.īut the real answer to this question is, they shouldn’t have to. Some women can’t relax enough with a machine hooked up to their body to get a letdown. I’ve known some women who couldn’t get anything from pumping.
I wasn’t about to go through that much unnecessary effort so that I could bottle feed in public. I’m sure if their lives depended on it, and if I wasn’t around for a long time, they would eventually take one, but having a baby is hard enough. That wasn’t for lack of trying – they just wouldn’t. After working at it for a while, I could pump, but my babies never took a bottle. That’s also great if you were able to pump and that your baby took a bottle. That’s great that you breastfed all your babies. Why don’t women just pump if they’re going out?” “I breastfed all my babies, but I never did it in public. Nothing screams, “Hey, I’m breastfeeding over here!” like a draping a blanket over your shoulder while awkwardly trying to get your baby into a comfortable breastfeeding position.ĥ) Covering up implies that there’s something inappropriate about feeding a baby. No breast could be seen once baby was latched.
Uncovered, most of the time, it just looked like I had a baby cradled in my arms, sleeping. The location of the breast is designed to put the baby within the vision range of mom’s face. Yes, you can have the same eye contact when you’re bottle feeding, which begs the question – would you cover up your baby’s face while cradling and bottle feeding, rather than looking at your baby and smiling at him/her at regular intervals? That would be silly.Ĥ) When I was nursing, I actually felt like using a cover drew more attention to what I was doing. Ugh, it makes me claustrophobic just thinking about it.ģ) One of the benefits of breastfeeding is the eye contact between mom and baby. I wouldn’t want to eat with a blanket over my head, would you? Especially when it’s hot. Most of the time, my babies would try to pull the cover off. And balancing a blanket on your shoulder while trying to see what you’re doing to get the baby latched is a big pain in the butt. And really, the only time one would “need” to cover up due to possible nipple exposure (if that’s the reason you think moms should cover up) is during the latch-on. Even with my third baby, keeping a cover over my shoulder while latching on wasn’t easy. Especially when you’re a new mom, and you’re trying to wrangle a squishy baby into a comfortable position where they can latch on correctly. Should women have to cover their babies to feed them in public? That sounds a little silly, doesn’t it?īut to answer your question, there are several reasons why moms might not cover up in public:ġ) It actually is hard to cover up and feed a baby at the same time. You’re not feeding a breast, you’re feeding a baby. I actually would love to get to the stage when we stop calling it breastfeeding, and just call it feeding. That’s great that you support breastfeeding. “I totally support breastfeeding, but what’s so hard about covering up to breastfeed in public?” As a mom who nursed three kids in all kinds of situations, I thought I’d address a few of these: Of course, there are always some unnecessarily mean people, but some sentiments that come up frequently are legitimately well-meaning. In real life, I’m surrounded by people who are very supportive of breastfeeding, so it interests me to read comments and questions about the appropriateness of breastfeeding in public. Tried to search it by lyrics but didn't have any success with that, now I can only hope that someone might recognize it from my description.Any time a breastfeeding story comes up in the news, especially one in which a breastfeeding mom is asked to leave an area to feed her baby, I break my own rule about not reading online comments out of sheer, morbid curiosity. Then and the thing again, followed by the spoken part and the refrain again, some instrumental twang and then a last vocals-only. Text snippets include something along the lines of (spoken not sure I heard that one right though),, followed by that refrain. It has some repetitive s, some spoken parts and a refrain that seems to go. It has kinda mid-slow-country-rock-y or maybe indie rock vibes (?) with prominent drums and some steel twang.
#Baby you should be here movie
Trying to find the last song played during the end credits of the German movie 'Männer wie wir' (apparently known as 'Guys and Balls' in English?), starts at around 01:39:20 if anyone wants to check.
