It's kind of bizarre how we can go to the beach in a bathing suit and think nothing of being basically naked in front of friends, family, and strangers. Yet when women breastfeed their babies, where there is often barely any skin showing, it's sometimes met with gasps and people think it's obscene. Some expect that woman to cover up or take it to a room where no one can see. Oh we live in a strange, strange world.

I breastfed my kids in front of friends and family, and in public. I did sometimes use a cover, but as my kids got older, that became more difficult because they loved to twist it around their little fingers and pull it off.

Still it can be really challenging to breastfeed in front of other people, even with a cover, and sometimes it's even harder to do in front of family.

There isn't much as enraging as a man who has a strong opinion on breastfeeding moms. But when that man is the CEO of a major company that likely employs thousands of women throughout the US, then it's even more discouraging. Tom Stemberg, the co-founder of Staples, has come down against breastfeeding moms, accusing Democrats (and President Obama, in particular) of wanting to force every company to provide “lactation chambers.”

Because apparently providing a safe space for a working breastfeeding mom to pump or nurse her baby is obscenely expensive and costs productivity. Good move, Stemberg. I feel for his female employees.

In case you were worried, you shouldn't be, really. After all, Stemberg’s wife breastfed. Now, isn't that comforting? He said:

It's a bird, it's a plane, wait, no -- it's a boob! People who live in or around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania may soon find themselves questioning whether or not they really just saw a pink and blue striped truck with a gigantic boob on top of it pass by them. For the record, the truck actually exists.

The "Milk Truck" is the brain child of a staff member at Carnegie Mellon University named Jill Miller. It's basically a mobile breastfeeding unit, which aims to be a safe and clean place where nursing moms can go to feed their babies without worrying about getting looks of disgust or eye rolls in public from people who don't understand that infants are small human beings who need to eat just as much as they do.

I'm a little disenchanted with nurse-ins. I have to be honest here. I just fear that they aren't serving their purpose -- to gain acceptance of public breastfeeding by the general public. They end up becoming a great gathering of women who bond but the passersby who aren't accepting of it continue to look with disgust. (Silly people, don't they know breasts are for babies?) Still, I feel like the 'Million Boob March,' aka The Great Nurse-In currently being planned for August in Washington, DC, could make a change. A big change. But only if First Lady Michelle Obama and/or the President gets involved. Someone. Anyone in Washington with some power.

If there are 500,000 women breastfeeding their children on the West Lawn at the Capitol, perhaps they will take notice. How could they not? Which is why we all should get involved.

Advice. It's the one thing you never need to ask for, but always have too much of.

People are more than happy to share exactly how they managed to raise the most perfect children in the world, telling you everything from how to get them to sleep to the best way to wean them off the pacifier to getting them to study at night. Everyone and their mother are an expert on child-rearing, it seems.

I asked by friends for the worst piece of parenting advice they ever received and got some whoopers -- sound familiar?

A new mom, who just so happens to be a comedienne, posted a video of herself breastfeeding on Funny Or Die. Ahna Tessler is seen breastfeeding her twins in a skit called Leah Got a Job. "Leah" seems like exactly the kind of person who would think breastfeeding is obscene. She's first pictured from the neck up and talks about hating kids even though she is an art teacher. She flips her hair, talks tough, and when the camera starts panning down, there are two babies at her breasts.

Funny Or Die isn't exactly the place I would expect to see a comedic breastfeeding video (with a lot of f-bombs, you've been warned), but that is precisely why I think it's fantastic that Tessler decided to write it into a script, film it, and post it. My husband and I both think it's funny. But Funny Or Die didn't think it was so they killed it, removed all Tessler's videos, and suspended her account. Watch it below.

When I tell strangers I have twins, sometimes their eyes get real wide and they give a look like oh my gosh how are you even still standing after going through that? How do you live? Twin mamas will back me up there. And if those people find out you are breastfeeding, then you become Mother Milk Goddess or totally insane. I'm a good balance of both, and accept praise and support whenever I can get it because it helps supply. Positive reinforcement = more ounces produced. At least that's what I believe. The less stress, the better.

Breastfeeding twins isn't always easy. But I know of no other way to breastfeed as I only have twins. So how do you survive breastfeeding twins? Like this ....

We've all had mommy fail moments. Come on, even you. It's because that despite our best efforts, we aren't perfect. Though our husbands don't have to know that. There are some of these moments that we all come out of unscathed, but some are downright dangerous and make you say, "My gosh what in the heck was I thinking?!" I'm sure this 30-year-old Swedish mom who thought that breastfeeding her 3-week-old baby while driving is realizing her mistake. This mommy fail moment caused her to get into a car accident, rear-ending a truck that was braking in front of her.

Her two older children were in car seats in the back, but her newborn was on her lap nursing as she crashed.
