For many women, it's about the emotional connection. Breastfeeding is a very intimate act that deepens the bond between mother and child. As the child grows, this continued breastfeeding can be a source of comfort for both. For example, a mother might notice that when her toddler is scared or hurt, breastfeeding calms him down immediately. Also, some women might have had a positive experience with breastfeeding from the start and just continue because it feels natural to them.
One story could be of a mother who breastfed her toddler until he was two years old. She found that it helped in building a strong emotional bond. Extended breastfeeding also provided the child with continued immunity benefits.
They are important because they can inspire new mothers. If a new mother reads about how other women overcame difficulties in breastfeeding, it can give her the confidence to keep trying.
In some communities, there are support groups where women breastfeeding women stories are common. For example, a woman whose baby was born prematurely might have had trouble with breastfeeding. A lactation consultant, who was also a mother herself, shared her story of how she managed with her premature baby. She gave practical advice like using a breast pump regularly to stimulate milk production and how to store the milk properly.
It's inappropriate. Breastfeeding is a natural process for a mother to feed her baby. Using it in a context of a husband is not only against the natural order but also against most ethical and moral standards.
One positive impact is the sharing of knowledge. For instance, an experienced mother can teach a new mother about proper latch techniques which is crucial for successful breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding is mainly for nourishing infants. While there may be some extremely rare and abnormal cases in some cultures or individual situations that might be misconstrued as such, but this goes against the normal physiological and ethical norms. In most societies, breastfeeding is strictly associated with mother - child relationships.
Another reason could be revenge. If a woman discovers that her man has been unfaithful or has wronged her in some way, she might decide to cheat as a form of getting back at him. However, this is not a healthy or ethical response but it does happen in some stories.
It could be due to various reasons like financial hardships, past traumas, or being manipulated by bad influences.
Some straight women may have these fantasies because they are attracted to the idea of a relationship without traditional gender power dynamics. In a lesbian relationship as they perceive it, there's more equality and mutual understanding.
Perhaps the prison authorities see value in the stories. It could be that these stories are part of a rehabilitation program. If the prisoner is sharing positive, educational, or self - reflective stories, they might be rewarded with extended time for activities like reading or writing more stories. This can also be a way to encourage prisoners to express themselves and potentially heal through the process of storytelling.
