just a little rant...
nursing a baby can be tough.
exclusively nursing a baby for 6 months can be tough.
nursing a baby that has a new tooth can be tough.
but i am hanging in there because i do LOVE it.
the rewards of breastfeeding are numerous and everyone has heard them.
we'll save that lecture for another day.
looking down at quinn while he nurses, knowing that i am single-handedly sustaining and nourishing him is very empowering.
when he reaches his tiny hand up to stroke my neck or pulls away to look up at me and smile, i know that things are as they should be.

and i love seeing celebrities publicly embracing breastfeeding.
so more power to you nursing moms!
stay tuned...maybe i will post some of myself...right...

WHY WOULD I WANT TO PUUUUUSH MY CHILD AWAY FROM ME
I breastfeed for 10 1/2 months with my son before I dried up and am going to try VERY VERY hard to make a whole year with my next baby. It is VERY hard!! Biting, cluster feeding, soreness. It's hard but I'm so glad we kept up as long as we did and I really hope next time I can make it the whole year! Good luck and great post!
ReplyDeletethanks verna! yes, this new tooth business is an interesting turn of events. but nursing is so wonderful and i too will try to nurse quinn for an entire year as well. thanks for the comment!
