Breastfeeding Without the Bullshit
What could possibly be better for the world than normalizing the sight of parents breastfeeding their children? It is an act of loving nurturance that humanizes us. It makes me irate that we live in a society that makes many people uncomfortable to breastfeed in public. We’re sharing tips and dropping some F bombs on this week’s episode of the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast.
