ColoradoMama- I hope you can nurse your twins in public w/o covering up, it really is so much easier. I was nervous when first getting the hang of it. One thought that always helped me was in The Breastfeeding Book by Dr. Sears where he says that every time you NIP it gives other women who see you the confidence to do the same... so that's what I kept thinking whenever I would start to get nervous about it. Hopefully that helps! I am very touched to be able to help and give you the confidence to do NIP... Thanks for your encouragement as well! It means a lot!
Society has sexualized women and breasts so much it's sickening... Breasts were made for babies, nursing is what they are for. IMO if someone sees a flash of breast while I am latching my baby on, ad they automatically think it's sexual and dirty than that is their problem. I can't be worrying about what other people think about my parenting choices.
I have been around nursing w/o covering for most of my childhood. Both my mom and my aunt nursed whenever and where ever w/o covering. My parents also had a "second batch" of kids when me and my 2 younger brothers were teens so we were around it during the more formative years. My in-aws also had kids when DH was a teen so he was around it too and his mom tandem nursed a 4 yo and newborn so even tandem nursing is not so foreign to them....
mwahahaha
