About
When I posted a manifesto of sorts, “Breastfeeding is Not Free,” I got a lot of responses from friends and strangers sharing their own “Feeding the Baby” stories, and my friend Sarah M (who always has the best ideas), suggested starting a Tumblr where we could collect these stories in one place.
As I mention in the above piece, when I was really in the thick of trying to figure out how to feed my baby, I would search online for other people’s stories. I found some, but far too few that related what another friend of mine has called the “in between status” of a cobbled together system of breastfeeding, formula supplementing, pumping, bottles, et cetera.
So here we are, with a Judgment Free Boob or No-Boob Tumblr. There are so many ways to feed the baby, and we want to celebrate that— boob, no boob, totally formula, half boob, pumped milk, tubes, whatever!
If you want to participate, send your story— keep it to about 500 words— to sarahb@drunkenbee.com and I’ll post here. Let me know how you would want— if at all— attribution (first name? full name? linked website?).
Okay, folks, let’s go!
