People Don’t Understand Breast-feeding Unless They’ve Done It

I'm glad you had the guts to put it on your cover.

I’m so glad you had the guts to [put a woman breast-feeding] your cover. I breast-fed until my son was almost 4 years old. People don’t understand unless they do it, so I’m laughing at their ignorance. I pretty much breast-fed wherever and whenever. I didn’t care what people said. I still remember Miss Starr on The View saying she doesn’t even think women should breast-feed in the bathroom. I would love to set her straight. Those were the best years ever. Six months just isn’t enough time. There are far more emotional and physical needs past that.
