My spring/summer wardrobe is very limited due to the majority of my clothes being in storage still. Luckily, I came to our temporary residence with all my nursing tank tops. I was wearing one when I ventured to the mall, pushing Zuul along with me I might add, when a young man sped by yelling "I CAN SEE YOUR NIPPLES!"
I almost looked, but then I remembered that Zuul's been pulling off my nursing shawl and pulling down my tops for quite some time now. I have gotten past modesty a while ago, like many other nursing moms. Why should I care if my nipples were showing? I realized, I did not, and charged forward without a glance down.
This is a strange moment for me. I am officially an extended breastfeeder. I have a parenting label - labels I had been trying to avoid, but after all the problems I had Zuul's first weeks, oddly proud. I'll be damed.
As for the boys of summer who yell weird shit out their cars, I bet his nipples were showing too. Alas! Common ground.
