"Desexify" thy Breasts

Just 5 weeks ago on my last day of work, a very kind colleague was running me through various types of breast pumps and their benefits. I have never thought myself as a prude but I have to admit that I was rather shocked when she brought me to the mummy's room and the way all other women in the room were casually whipping out their breasts and pumping them while chatting to me struck me as rather akward.


Now that I am a 3-week old mother, I have to say that my breasts status has somehow been converted. Mainly, this could be attributed to the shift of priorities. I can assure you that if your baby is temperamental when it comes to his feeds, the moment the siren goes off, all you want to do is feed your baby and shut him up. So it matters very little whether you're sitting in the living room (only in the presence of other females) or the privacy of your own room. I no longer care if other female relatives find it odd to see me breastfeesing. In fact I now understand why some women can casually breastfeed in public, as if a crying baby can wait till you find yourself a baby's room in a busy shopping mall.


Signs of Desexified Breasts
  1. You define your right/left boob as the top producing boob.

  2. One hand guiding baby's head towards nipple, while the other hand holding boob to aim nipple into his mouth.

  3. Erotic Ann Summers' lingerie is seen as suitable breast feeding outfit.
