Join Lactating Girl in her fight for the rights of breastfeeding moms!
My friend drew Lactating Girl for me and I love the work she did, but I had one minor problem with it–the pacifier. I don’t use pacifiers and they don’t exactly promote the best breastfeeding relationship (though I know many breastfeeders who use them and love them) so I made one without the pacifier. I’m not an artist, but I tried to make the baby look like it was in the middle of a sleep smile. Here it is.
Once upon a time, there was an obsessive-complusive, ultra-organized girl who never left home without her face on and had her whole life planned out for her. Four years to Bachelors in Physics, four years in medical school, three years of residency, then she's an OBGYN (only then, could she consider this whole "family" thing).
Three years later, she's married at 20, has a kid, and has a strong bias against the thing she was once to become.
Second generation black sheep, child of divorce, sexual abuse survivor, ex-party girl, gamer geek, madly in love with a ginger, holistic mommy, breastfeeder, loner, geek, smart, pretty, student, SaHM. This is me.
This is “super!” I couldn’t resist the adjective – sorry! Anway, I LOVE this! it is such a unique avatar/emblem/etc. It totally rocks!
