Mothers Rock! Songs about breastfeeding

The Mothers are the UK’s only all mother punk band, playing their own original songs that celebrate the joys and frustrations of being a mum. Izzy, the drummer had the idea of forming the band after she had given birth to twin babies. “Life was pretty crazy – escaping to play drums in Beth’s cellar and forming an all-mum punk band seemed to make total sense”.

“Milk Pistols /Cowgirl

Oh well my baby’s hungry and she’s crying out for more
And so I’m gonna get my tits out for what they are for
And I don’t really care if I’m at home or only the bus
We’re gonna do our thing and screw you if you make a fuss

Cos I’m a cowgirl cowgirl I’m a cowgirl now
Get a hold of my milk pistols and let’em flow

Tell me what is more offensive
A baby that’s crying and just won’t stop
Or a woman with a kid shoved up her top

Oh well the milk bar’s open when it’s time for her to tot
Just watch her eyes glaze over with that dreamy double shot
It’s just a nipple tipple it’s just something I supply
And If you look disapproving then I’ll shoot you in the eye

Cos I’m a cowgirl cowgirl I’m a cowgirl now
Get a hold of my milk pistols and let’em flow

No SMA and no nestle
Just sit my baby on my knee
Just you and me it’s all for free”
