Embarrassed



How many times must a mother breastfeed her baby in a public toilet stall before she breaks? Poet Hollie McNish was fed up by the attitudes she encountered: that breastfeeding must be hidden, and that maybe a mother should just stay home for a year or two until her child is weaned. This shame sells a lot of formula. In this spoken word performance, McNish says what she thinks, in everyday language that may be NSFW. The text of the poem is at the YouTube page.
