Okay, I guess I'm the only "freak" on this forum, but I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. The "ick" factor for me is BF in general. I'm one of those who doesn't like to see it in public because, honestly, it grosses me out. I would NEVER say anything so anyone because I totally understand that it is my hang-up, but it's a big hang-up. Before TJ was born, my sister brought up trying to BF and honestly, I was heartbroken. Because of my complete hang-up over it, I thought that since my baby was coming to me via adoption, I wouldn't have to feel the guilt over not BFing (that just doesn't look right does it?). Then, smack comes the guilt again. If T had insisted that I BF TJ, I'm sure I would have tried to fulfill her wishes, but it would have been very difficult for me. So, for the bmom's trying to make people understand why you just couldn't wrap your brains around someone breastfeeding your baby, I get it. I can't wrap my brain around my own issue with it, it just is what it is. I'm sure there are just as many bmoms who don't want the baby breastfed by an amom as there are amoms who don't want to breastfeed. I surely can't be the only one can I? Conversly, I'm sure there are an equal number of bmoms who would welcome an amom breastfeeding the baby.
