Right, it’s sometimes hard to act conventional when your baby is hungry!?!

Breast Side Stories combines 100 funny mini-stories of breastfeeding mothers from all over the world together with lovely, humorous illustrations that bring the anecdotes even more fully to life.

Can you latch on to the humor of breastfeeding in strange places?

Have you ever held a pose in yoga class with your baby attached? And imagine the looks you might get nursing your baby in a tattoo parlor. One mother even made herself comfortable sitting on a store display featuring cases of baby formula before she realized the irony of her choice! This book is dedicated to all the breastfeeding mothers out there. Be you a veteran or new to breastfeeding, you will surely relate to and enjoy these humorous stories!

Editorial Reviews

Review

Orit Gilad's idea is to share the humor of some of the places where mothers nurse, but I think this book can also play a part in helping to normalize breastfeeding as simply something that goes on while life happens around you.JUNO Magazine. 2014

From the Author

This book is dedicated to all breastfeeding mothers everywhere, to encourage them to keep on going and to find the humor in these unexpected situations. Breastfeeding is the natural and healthy way to feed your baby, and you should always feel comfortable to nurse in any place that you find yourself.  I hope this book inspires you to breastfeed wherever you are and whenever your baby is hungry.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Orit Gilad was living in New York City with her husband when her first son was born premature. They spent three weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit, and she decided to breastfeed him from the start. The supportive atmosphere in the NICU and the lactation consultants helped her with the process of nursing a premature baby. After being discharged from the hospital, they continued with exclusive breastfeeding for more than six months, all over Manhattan. New York City is full of shops, restaurants, parks and cafes, and people do plenty of walking and dining out. It soon became a bit of a challenge to breastfeed during a subway ride or when strolling and shopping on the avenues looking for a comfortable spot to nurse.

After nursing her son in a massage chair at "Bed Bath and Beyond" Orit understood that no place is too embarrassing to breastfeed a hungry baby. She shared funny stories about many of the unexpected places she nursed her baby with her fellow breastfeeding community online and asked other mothers to share their craziest nursing stories with her as well. She then decided these funny experiences could be illustrated and brought together into an enjoyable book for any breastfeeding mom in the world. This book is the result of the top 100 breastfeeding situations of mothers from the US, UK, Japan, and all over the world. Any nursing mother will truly enjoy this entertaining book, and any mother who is new to breastfeeding will find it inspires her to nurse in public.

This book is just too cute. I got it free as an ebook and found it hilarious. I've done a few of them and some I tip my hat to those moms. The illustrations are adorable too.

This is the kind of cute quick book (only one story could be considered longer than a paragraph) that you keep on the coffee table, in the bathroom, give as a baby shower gift, or keep around for a few quick giggles.

3.0 out of 5 stars cute book and nice illustrations; not really stories but empowering message
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018

These 100 are quick clips of Breast Side experiences, not stories...only a short sentence (sometimes the length of a couple sentences) insight to a humorous experience (or situation) during breastfeeding ; there are not actual stories. The illustrations are great for the "quote(s)" on the page. Sometimes there is only one "story" on an illustrated page and some pages contain several. The short explanations are picture person's situation and enough to jog your memory of a similar incident; the illustrations add a lot to them as well. The book idea is 5 star, but the value for the item also plays a factor in the number of stars given in this review; IMHO Kindle price $4.98 or paperback price $19.99 (today's prices) are too steep for the content provided. It's a really cute little book that would be fun to give to an expectant or new mother, but just too overpriced for what the book really is.

This is a cute cartoon book with stories or places where mums breastfeed their children. It looks amusing to read it and it's not long but what seemed to me as unusual are some situations in which mother feed their babies.
I'm not a mother so I have no clue how it's going, but if I have a baby I definitely won't bring it with me on the carousel and feed it there while the carousel is on the move. It seems to me like enough dangerous situation to be in it with a baby. And feeding it... I don't know. The same thing is for concert, wedding, and funeral. If you want to show some respect to other people you don't take a baby with you cos you never know if she/he will cry or not. People are there to listen to the concert and not crying. Same as wedding and funeral. There are there not to be distracted. So breastfeeding is not a problem, the not respecting other people in general is.
But other than that it is a nice try to show where you can feed your baby even you've never thought of it. Yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you’re looking for a baby shower gift, this would be it!
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017

I hope the wife isn’t getting any ideas when she asked me to read this? And to make matters worse, she challenged me to review it. What can I say? I had a wonderful mother who breast-fed me, and I’m eternally grateful to her for giving me a strong immune system. In addition, I have five older sisters. So, growing up listening to all manner of gynecological issues has prepared me - albeit, slightly traumatized - for this momentous occasion.

Bottom line; some parts of this book are funny while other parts are extremely funny! It’s a well-rounded, firm book that doesn’t sag. There, I did it. That wasn’t so bad. Piaras out!

5.0 out of 5 stars A baby’s gotta eat were a baby has to eat
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2017

I love the stories in the e-book Breast Side Stories: 100 Unusual Breastfeeding Stories. The majority of the stories are only two or three sentences, but all explain that when a baby has to eat one must pop out their breast almost wherever they are. The men’s bathroom story and the pull cart story are two of my favorites, but all the stories were pretty good. The illustrations were great and enhanced the understanding of the stories. I would read this author again anytime or anywhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations and empowering message, maybe expecting a little more meat to the stories.
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017

The illustrations in this book were awesome. When I was given the ebook for free to write a review, I wasn't expecting there to even be pictures. I was expecting something more along the lines of readers digest type short stories from different moms. It doesn't ever really say if these stories are all from the author, or if she interviewed different moms. Some of the places also seemed a little crazy, like on an amusement park ride, didn't seem very safe to me. But overall, it really gives empowerment to women to let them know that they shouldn't worry about breastfeeding anywhere they need to, because when baby needs to eat they need to eat! More power to moms who don't care about people's reactions, and can also make looking back on some of these situations a humorous memory! Great job overall on the book, and the illustrations help the book move along nicely.
