Who benefits from creating a stir around the decency of breastfeeding?
When a baby drinks mother's milk, no nipples or bare breasts are visible. Only the baby's head is visible, turned towards the mother. Everything else is completed by the sick imagination of the peepers.

However, it is very profitable for manufacturers of baby products to organize a speculative hype around the topic of decency and indecency of breastfeeding.
And then the mother, in order to be on trend and “organize feeding,” needs to buy a breast pump, a sterilizer, a set of bottles and pacifiers, a thermal bag for bottles, a stole, a sling, a nursing bra and blouse, and also try a dozen of the most expensive formulas.
Oxytocin reflex
A young mother begins to produce milk when her baby is born. Sometimes this process begins a little earlier, even before birth. After birth, the baby is applied to the breast. In response to the baby's suckling, the mother's body produces the hormone oxytocin, which stimulates the muscle cells of the breast to release milk. Such tides are called the oxytocin reflex, sometimes even just the thought of a baby can trigger the arrival of milk.
During such periods, a nursing mother experiences breast pain, but not much. In addition, this process may be accompanied by a slight tingling or tingling sensation. After feeding the baby, acute chest pain is also possible. All these are normal natural processes. Usually, after 3-4 months of proper attachment of the baby to the breast, the unpleasant sensations disappear.
A boy peeing is good, but a nursing madonna is bad?
I’m very interested in why our society condemns a woman breastfeeding in public places and is bashfully silent about drunken men who urinate at a public transport stop? Television broadcasts are not dedicated to these men.
But in my life I have met such men peeing in and on the porch much more often than women breastfeeding in public places.
I'm lucky. For the last five years I have lived in Europe. And no one ever reprimanded me when I breastfed my child where my child wanted to eat. Nobody cast a single sidelong glance at me.

I didn’t run around the park looking for a secluded place, I didn’t wander around shopping centers looking for a specially designated “Mother and Child” reservation. I just wasn't concerned about this problem. I fed. And my child was full. You try to satisfy your hunger when you want to eat, right?

A Polynesian woman is breastfeeding a small child and some kind of animal!
History knows many cases when wild animals breastfed human cubs. The most typical example is a boy raised by a she-wolf. He served as the prototype for Mowgli in literature and cinema.
But the opposite case is that the feeding of newborn animals by representatives of the human race is, to say the least, puzzling. Nevertheless, these facts do exist, and the editors of our site present you with several funny photos of women breastfeeding the cutest four-legged animals.

Shown here is a 44-year-old mother breastfeeding her puppy, Spider. This is Terri Graham from California, who recently gave birth to her second child. Due to health reasons, the mother could not feed the baby her own milk and pumped it.
Once she noticed that the four-legged family pet was licking a pacifier with a contented sniffle. She decided to put the dog to her chest, and he started smacking his lips! “The spider gave me the opportunity to feel like a nursing mother,” Terry rejoices.
Thanks to this “stimulation,” the woman’s lactation continued for two years. True, psychologists suggest that the woman is a little uneasy - postpartum depression is taking its toll.

Origins
But in addition to producers of infant formula and other related junk, the state zealously guards motherhood and childhood.
It all started after the Second World War, when it was necessary to raise the country from ruins. When what was needed was not mothers, but workers and incubators for the production of citizens. Then they began to actively develop infant formula as breast milk substitutes.
After all, a babysitter in a 24-hour nursery will put a bottle of formula in a child’s mouth. Meanwhile, my mother works three shifts at the factory. And who had it easy?
At the same time, feeding by the hour arose and Dr. Spock’s followers appeared.
Swelling on mom's chest
This article is for mothers who are faced with breast fullness in the days when colostrum is replaced by milk (usually 3-4 days after birth, but maybe a little earlier or later). Also, the described techniques can be useful for breast swelling in the first or second day (even at the stage of colostrum).
So. The milk has arrived. The breasts filled up and became not just heavy, but very full and painful. Even the temperature sometimes rises for a day. Sometimes it's really scary. And if it’s also difficult for a child to grab it, what to do and what not to do? What do you need to know first?
Go. Point by point details:
1. Read carefully: this is temporary . After 1-2 days, the breasts will enter the “working” mode, deal with the new working conditions, and the feeling of heaviness and fullness will go away. You not have such breasts throughout the feeding period. It is important for you and your baby to work well during these one and a half to two days, helping your breasts - and everything will work out. 2. What to do now ? The most important rule: do not let your breasts “rest.” She must work, give milk. Then the sensations will return to normal sooner. An example of the wrong tactics is when your breasts begin to fill up, take a break from feeding until the morning - and what if it resolves somehow on its own. Right now. An example of a correct one is to start feeding the baby more often, waking him up if he sleeps for too long. Pay attention to correct application. 3. About waking up . Milk begins to come in, new sensations appear - we switch to the “ feeding on mother’s demand ” mode. You have every right to wake up your baby and ask him to help you if your breasts are already “calling.” This is also temporary. 4. Keep the path for milk clear . a. There are different options for the arrival of milk: if everything is in order, the breast may become hot, heavy, even with some kind of compaction, but at the same time the areola remains elastic, the baby can latch on well (captures both the nipple and the areola), the milk flows freely. After feeding, such breasts become noticeably softer and lighter. In this case, you don’t need to do anything special, just apply-apply-apply (see point 2). Everything will return to normal very soon (see point 1) b. But in some cases, and all sorts of stories are told about them, it turns out that swelling of the breast and areola is added to the fullness of the breast.
- The breasts feel “stony”, very painful, the areola is inelastic and overcrowded.
- Pressing on the areola is also painful (sometimes very painful! and this pain even interferes with feeding the baby).
- The nipple becomes flattened.
- The milk does not flow out - swelling interferes, blocking its path.
- It may be difficult for a child to latch onto such a breast; he slips from the dense areola (like a ball) onto the nipple or cannot latch on at all.
- Feeding often does not provide relief due to the fact that milk does not come out.
- Expressing milk isn't very good either.
This situation is called engorgement. Here the breasts and baby need additional help, which we will talk about. The main thing is to remember that this is not the end of the world and everything will work out.
Inside, breasts with and without engorgement differ in the level of swelling (diagram, just for clarity):
Algorithm of actions to prevent engorgement: Frequent latching of the baby (or pumping if for some reason he cannot breastfeed on his own) from the first days - even at the colostrum stage. In the correct position, in different (if possible) and comfortable for mom (this is a must) poses. Drinking regime is normal, according to thirst. Research has shown that limiting drinking does not help prevent engorgement. We won't get anything but dehydration for mom. What to do with the breasts if engorgement has already occurred? Open the way for milk. An indispensable and very effective technique is the technique of softening the areola with pressure according to Jean Cotterman. Minimum 1 minute, if engorgement is more severe - both 2 and 3 minutes
What happens in this case: the fingers gently and painlessly squeeze the excess swelling deeper. For a while, the areola again becomes soft and elastic, the nipple becomes more pronounced, but most importantly, the path for milk - the ducts - is cleared. The baby can latch on - and can receive milk.
The way they knead sometimes in maternity hospitals is barbaric, because forceful kneading of a swollen, congested gland is not only very painful, but also pointless - in this case, the path for milk is blocked! The areola is swollen, the ducts are pinched... “Stone” breasts can be brought into working condition much more effectively in a gentle, painless way.
Doctor Spock - lover of single mothers
When I gave birth to my daughter, a friend came to visit me - an experienced mother of two children - and, looking sternly at me, said in a voice that did not tolerate objections:
Feeding by the hour! Life according to the regime! There must be a clear schedule, otherwise she will sit on your neck.
I timidly tried to object:
Honey, I really like breastfeeding myself. We can look into each other's eyes for hours. I can even cry from emotion. This is such an orgasmic, incomparable happiness.
