Plus Size Breastfeeding Resources

This is my interview with the producers of The Milky Way Movie, Chantal Molnar and Jennifer Davidson.

I truly believe the best way to parent is with love. While I do all I can to keep things balanced, there are some topics I’m very passionate about and breastfeeding is one of them.

I’ve experienced a fair amount of controversy as a blogger and liberal woman. I’m no stranger to defending my views with supportive statistics and personal passion. However, on Monday when I posted “PSMM celebrates Black Breastfeeding Week!” and shared a picture from the Black Breastfeeding Week’s Facebook page I didn’t even consider I’d receive any backlash. Sadly, I was so naïve.

This is about boobs, babies, and ridicule…Breastfeeding mamas are faced with ridicule far too often for the simple act of feeding their children. Last night I was excited to receive the stunning photo you’ll see below until I started reading the message that came with it. This poor mama was not only harassed for breastfeeding in public but also for being plus size.

While I always thought I would breastfeed, my breastfeeding detour taught me to take care when setting expectations for myself as a mother.
