Hannah I love this, thank you! I will remind myself of this essay as I sit at work and try to pump every last drop of milk and curse my damn lazy right breast (why?) and just remind myself that the nanny knows how to prepare formula.
And good lord that McSweeney’s made me wake up my napping child laughing.
So glad that you did not cave under peer pressure; I hear that the woke Slope mamas are fierce! I didn’t breastfeed; 3 of Adria’s friends in Manhattan didn’t and she won’t either. They all felt that they shouldn’t be the only ones responsible for feeding a baby, and also made it easier for their night nurses to get baby on a sleep schedule.
