Don't blame breastfeeding for your sagging breasts

A mother breast feeding

I was busy minding my business as I rode in a matatu heading back home when my eyes bumped into a woman’s breasts. They forayed back and forth for a final glimpse – after which I would shift my sight to where my shoes and feet were. She had removed the left one, straight into her baby’s mouth.

The innocent one clamped on the nipple like its life depended on it – and it did. Don’t you just envy that? Don’t get me wrong, there are babies out there who, for some reason, have never tasted a drop of their mother’s milk – even though that is where the centre of gravity emanates as far as their lives are concerned.
