I won’t breastfeed my baby because I don’t want saggy boobs — trolls say I’m selfish but it grosses me out
She’s protecting her perky pair.
Breasts that hang low — that wobble to and fro — just won’t do for this new mommy who’s refusing to nurse her infant son for fear of droopy boobies.
“‘Selfish’ reasons I didn’t breastfeed,” mom Rebecca Gallivan wrote in the closed caption of her TikTok-viral confessional. “I didn’t want my boobs to sag or look different than before I got pregnant.”
The brunette, a mother of one from the UK, admitted that the mere thought of plying her kid with milk from her mammaries was stomach-churning.
“It made me feel weird and uncomfortable,” the content creator told her more than 380,000 viewers. “The thought of it felt very unnatural even though it’s the most natural thing.
“It grossed me out.”
But the benefits of breastfeeding are grossly great.
Researchers from Michigan State University recently determined that breast milk — which is rich in vitamins, minerals and antibodies — can reduce the risk of childhood obesity.
The nutrient-laden nectar also aids in minimizing the threat of asthma, Type 1 diabetes and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

The boons of boob milk are so immense that moms like Ice-T’s wife, Coco Austin, 45, have even continued breastfeeding their tots well beyond infancy.
“Chanel still likes my boobs,” Austin previously said in defense of her decision to nurse her daughter, then age 5.
“Why take that away from her?” asked the Playboy pinup, calling her milk “a little snack.”
“If she doesn’t want it, all right, that’s where you stop it,” said Austin. “But I’m not just going to say no.”
Gallivan, however, has no problem saying “no” to breastfeeding — and online trolls have a problem with that.
“Caring more about your breast shape than your kid’s health is wild to me. Don’t have kids if you can’t make sacrifices for them. Especially not vain and superficial ones,” scolded a social media savage.
“Selfish,” wrote an equally disapproving detractor.
“It takes a strong woman to breastfeed. Some women never get the chance to. It’s a sacrifice but I would do it all again for my baby,” said another.
“I’ve [breastfed] all 4 of my babies and will my next, it’s draining & tiring but I personally feel like a failure if I don’t use my body for what it was created for,” a separate mom chimed.
“Breastfeeding doesn’t make your boobs saggy it’s pregnancy that does that,” another noted.
“That poor baby,” said a sympathizer.
But Gallivan assured concerned critics that her “poor baby” is doing just fine.
“Just your daily reminder that breastfeeding doesn’t [equal] a good mother,” she captioned a subsequent post, featuring her bouncing bundle of joy.
“My ‘poor baby’ is the healthiest, happiest little boy.”
