Agneta Romin and her son wear their Scout uniforms as she breastfeeds. She wrote on Facebook, “It’s perfect to breastfeed while you´re a scoutleader! The food is quick to fix!” That seems to me to be an excellent example of being prepared.

That’s my Mom!

Katrina Kittler’s daughter, Rhiannon, points at her mom while she nurses. Katrina commented on Facebook, “It is cute when they really start interacting with you…” I’m sure many mothers who have breastfed can identify with her feelings.

Sheila Ruuskanen Neumann kisses one of her children while she breastfeeds another. In the caption for this picture on Facebook, Sheila wrote, “Me and my babies, so proud I had a photo shoot to capture these most wonderful memories forever.” Several people added comments there about the beauty of this picture. It’s a great depiction of motherly love.

Caitlin Young sent this picture of her drying her hair while nursing her daughter, Autumn (3 months old at the time of the picture). Caitlin wrote that this scene “is early morning getting ready to go out.” She added, “I never thought I would be drying my hair and breastfeeding simultaneously, but it really wasn’t that hard.”

Kirstie Clarke tandem feeds during the Annual Breastfeeding In Public Spaces support event in the UK at Stroud. The sign below welcomed people to the event. I hope to post more pictures from this and similar picnics in the future.

Andi Brunson-Williams and Katelin Brunson-Hutto nurse their sons simultaneously. The boys were born five months apart. Katelin commented under this picture on Facebook that she had tandem nursed the boys while Andi took a nap. “What a wonderful experience!!!!” she wrote. Katelin’s comments also supplied the title that I used for this entry.

You can learn more about the sisters on their blogs. Andi has Crazy Busy Momma, and Katelin has Mamma’s Here.
