FROM THE MILK FACTORY

SCREAM!!!!!!
I woke up very upset, mad at the world for many things, I was especially mad from the events that took place the previous day.
I have been a good mother, or at least am trying to be, am doing the entire exclusive breastfeeding thing. You know how stressful that is?
Nine months out of shape am still trying to get into shape, I have a husband to please.
I have been sent into Mbobo, so I could eat well enough to take care of my new bundle of Joy.
Let's cut the chase,



I went out to this restaurant with my baby, while I ate he simply stared at me, imagine the look on my baby's face, mama was eating and he had none.
What makes us human is our ability to share too right? Next my baby starts to cry, yes he wanted to eat ,he could not take it anymore, he cried for help, he cried that I please give him food, he cried being helpless and unable to speak, he cried knowing and trusting I will save him from hunger.
I reached for my hand bag and brought out a set of sanitary wipes, undid my buttons, adjusted my brassiere and brought out my breast, wiped it clean propped up my baby's head and began to feed him from the milk he was entitled to.
Next the restaurant manager walks up to me saying I needed to stop feeding my helpless baby or leave the restaurant, I asked him to repeat himself and he did, he said in some crazy accent; "that couple over there say your indecent act is irritating", the other woman over there with a red hat, says her husband lost focus the moment you set out to induce him in the pretext of breastfeeding your baby".
I acted like I didn't hear him, I adjusted myself and held my baby tightly in one arm then I gave them a show-down this is how it all went down.

Excuse me Ma'am,
Do you have any kids of your own?
Do you know what it feels like to have a helpless baby who looks up to you for everything?
Do you know the feeling of satisfaction that comes from being merciful to another human being?
Now let me tell you something;
I have a duty and a calling and that is to be a mother,
That duty demands sheer human compassion,
It demands me being a milk factory,
It demands me loosing myself to ensure this little one is adequately taken care off,
Its God's way of helping me stay cancer free,
I do not see any reason why breastfeeding my child should be of any disturbance to you,
If your husband cannot keep his eyes off a milk factory that is not my fault,
What kind of man gets sexually attracted to a nursing mother?
What kind of man gets turned on by the sight if a milk dripping nipple
What kind of world wants to force down our throats "modesty", should my child be deprived of food because of public opinion?
Should I find a secluded place to give my baby food?
Should breastfeeding not be a proud show-off?
Should children be deprived of breast-milk? Something that is given free?
Okay you are suggesting I milk myself and put it in a bottle for my baby right? Well I have done that and he doesn't like bottles.
Am a proud mother, and a nursing one at that, and I won't hesitate to pull my blouse to place my nipple in my child's mouth, he's human and has a right to eat in public like you and I do, he has a right to candle-light dinners and picnics.
