Why slay queens shun breastfeeding

Men are known to have a thing about perky breasts with the firmness of ripe mangoes. But that changes when a woman delivers a baby and with it, the six months of exclusive breastfeeding. Breasts that are suckled daily, somehow, start to sag, putting young mothers who are conscious of their image in a catch-22 situation: to breast feed or not to breastfeed.

To them, motherhood appears like the end of sexy boobs. The most affected are slay queens and socialites, whose currency is their looks. Some refuse to breastfeed, fearing that their breasts will “fall flat” and thus, cost them that boyfriend or sponsor.
