I will hope in advance that this does not offend anyone.
A few years ago I received a call from a mom who told me her baby screamed
and freaked out when nursing. I couldn't get a clear picture on the problem
so asked to see her in person to evaluate.
Mom and babe came in. Mom was a larger woman and I asked her to tell and
demonstrate how she started a nursing. She reminded me that in my class I
had advised " playing where it rests" when it came to supporting the breast,
so she laid babe on her lap and undid her bra.
A tidal wave of breast unrolled, completely covering the babe until all I
could see was 2 little arms and legs flailing underneath the breast-
Otherwise babe was completely engulfed!
Mom was a very long J cup and we had to develop ways that the babe could
nurse and the breast supported enough to facilitate a more enjoyable
experience for both. But I will never forget the sight and experience!
