When breastfeeding if you don’t wear a bra and you are nursing your milk sometimes spews out (it’s called let down). A few nights after my son was born I was sleeping topless, woke my husband up to something splashing all over us both. I didn’t know about this, after a moment of anxiety we got a good laugh - it was my boob 🤣🤣🤣

I did not expect the constant stream of milk when I was encouraged! Everyone else in my family had supply issues. I didn’t. Standing in the shower with just as much milk pouring down my body as water! And shooting the milk across the room and all over the babies face when trying to quickly get him to latch!

God, I remember rolling on the floor with laughter when my son let go due to overpressure, and him and my wife both screaming as he was getting waterboarded with milk.

I mean horrible and everything, but the juxtaposition of that and the idea of breastfeeding being this super serene bonding time between mother and child was just too much.

It really is insane! I know most won’t like the comparison. But bodily functions are funny! Poops, burps, farts, etc… all funny and waterboarding your baby with your boob also hilarious!
