I am adding this page to remind myself about the wonderful as well as funny moments I experienced breastfeeding. The early days breastfeeding was so hard that its easy to only think about the negative aspects. I also need a reminder for the moments when I want to pull my hair out and say I need some time for me..........!
So here's 10 reasons why I love to breastfeed.
- I love the moment when my babies eyes begin to droop, beautiful lashes sweeping innocent cheeks as they drift off contentedly to sleepyland.
- My babies sunny smiles when they look up at me half-way through a feed certainly brightens up my day.
- Breastfeeding at night is a breeze as I get to sleep when baby feeds.
- My hubby rushes around keeping groceries when we get back from shopping while I get to put my feet up and cuddle baby for a feed!
- I can eat, breastfeed baby and read my emails all at the same time!
- Coming back from a party, I breastfeed baby in the car, when we get home, he's happy and so am I. It saves so much time.
- Halfway through shopping, I breastfeed baby, and then we go on enjoying the sights and sounds at the mall. Its so convenient.
- At a family gathering, I breasfeed baby before he frets and everyone wonders why baby is happy and smiling all the time.
- I can breastfeed baby and keep my toddler happy at the same time by playing, reading and chatting with her as my hands are free.
- My toddler looks so adorable pretending to breastfeed teddy when I breastfeed baby. She smiles at me sweetly from across the room and I know my time spent breastfeeding her is worthwhile.
11th reason: Seeing the hubby pretend to breastfeed and the baby actually sucks on his teeny nipple. Everyone gets a good hearty laugh. Laughter = Great "Feel Good" Medicine.

ReplyDeleteLol! Yes. The babies always turn away in apparent annoyance when they realise that hubby's has got no milk.
