When I spoke yesterday that breastfeeding discs are not necessary for all mothers and in all circumstances I did not intend to generalize at all. Some women, especially when they leave home, will need them, although, as I said, each one must assess whether they are needed and when. It is not a matter of going dripping milk.
I have remembered an anecdote that happened to me during my breastfeeding. I worked then in an office that coordinated medical services in other countries and there were moments of enormous tension.
In addition, I had to lead a team of ten people under a lot of pressure, we had calls from people who needed, for example, an ambulance in Istanbul because their father had had a heart attack, or repatriations of people with serious ailments on a plane that I had to take them from Rome to Buenos Aires in a really complicated state. And at the worst moment my chest decided that the hormones got under way and I squirted milk.
Already when my son was almost a year old, there I was, with four people in line: the repatriating doctor, the hospital doctor, the relative and the insurance, sitting on the table overwhelmed but trying to give everyone peace of mind, when my body exploded of the pressure with an unexpected rise in milk and, in summer with a t-shirt and a simple bra, I began to sprout like a fountain dipping milk to my feet.
I had not used discs for a long time, the flow had already settled and I was still pumping milk in the office, well, in the bathroom, everything must be said, but well that that day would have suited me well. The dress wore a new print. Luckily I only used my voice to work or the keyboard, well being dripping milk In front of the public I have to say, however natural it may have been, I would have been very disturbed. Has something like this ever happened to you?
