Overflowing: A Lesbian Lactation Story

Product Information

It’s not happened often which is amazing. I have friends who don’t breastfeed in public anymore because they’re that scared, which is horrible. Emma said her husband Stuart is happy with her still breastfeeding their daughter at five Credit: Kennedy News and Media Apparently that old phrase, ‘If you’ve got nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all’ doesn’t apply to breastfeeding. The NHS recommends all babies are exclusively breastfed until at least six months old, while 73 per cent of new mums choose to nurse from birth. Nina, 34, became pregnant with her first child in 2020 following 12 months of intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment. “Some people think they want to be an astronaut or a firefighter when they grow up, but I knew I wanted to have a baby,” she says. “It was always in my plan. When I met Logan in 2016, we talked about having a family from the very beginning. We just didn’t know how it would look for us.”

Emma said she doesn't see breastfeeding as something to be embarrassed about Credit: Kennedy News and Media The four most commonly quoted risk factors used in recent research that focused on lesbians and cancer risk include: Cancer screening – studies have consistently shown that a lower percentage of lesbians receive mammographies, pap smears and colonoscopies compared to other women. Liz Margolies believes this is due in part to financial problems, and a belief by the lesbian that she will not be welcomed – either because of a perceived fear or due to previous experience. It’s been difficult to distinguish the difference between nurturing and sex,” Ms Mulford explained. “Although it’s so beautiful and peaceful it’s also erotic. It’s been hard to get through the first few nursing sessions without being tempted to have sex, but each time it’s getting easier.”So far, nursing is going well: “After three days my breasts were starting to feel sore, but I am willing to push through any pain for our end goal.” You can also talk about it with them, I can let him know if my breasts are feeling sore or if I’m feeling touched out and need to say no or ask him to wait until later. A significant number of lesbians do not seek medical help for routine screenings because of a fear of being shunned or ill-treated by health staff. As mentioned above, this is sometimes the result of real experiences, Liz Margolies writes. Liz Margolies urges organizations, such as the Lesbian Health Research Center at the UC Medical Center in San Francisco, and others like it, to carry out further large-scale studies on lesbians and cancer. With proper funding, some really relevant studies with accurate results could be achieved.

Alex usually breastfeeds once in the morning and once in the evening and while the little girl can go days without milk she will always want some when she needs comforting. Ms Mulford, from Atlanta in the US, started searching for men who would be open to the idea of adult breastfeeding. Alex is in reception class at school but to Emma's knowledge she is the only child who still breastfeeds. Breast milk is thought to reduce a baby’s risk of infections, type 2 diabetes, obesity and childhood leukaemia, according the NHS.The decision to breastfeed or chestfeed is a very personal one. Every baby is different, so it’s important to do what feels right for your body, your circumstances, and your family. Amy hopes to break the stigma on extended breastfeeding and show critics that it’s completely natural, good for the child and encourages closeness.
