@Justmeraeagain I was. But there was a time period when very few women were nursing. My mother didn’t nurse any of us. And apparently it wasn’t the done thing then.

@bijouxbroussard That was mostly due to the baby formula companies marketing to women that baby formula was more advanced and better somehow. I remb when my mom had my little sister, I was 12 and she breastfed. I was honestly embarrassed and I thought that breastfeeding was for uneducated people and that formula was better. Thats what my little friends said too. My mom had to educate me but it took a long time for me to believe her mostly because I was embarrassed.
