I love nursing



Is that okay to say on here?


By the time I weaned Stone, I was ready for a little freedom, and perhaps I will be like that in a few months when I begin to wean Emerson. And when I say freedom, I mean not planning everything around feedings. Because everything is planned around nursing my babe. Sure I often blog or answer work emails while nursing (hello, multi-tasking is a necessity over here), but I love looking down at her face. She'll often look up at me, as if making sure I am paying attention to her. She dances with her feet while eating. Throws them up and down. If I tickle them, she smiles, but tries hard not to loose concentration while eating. However, she is often distracted, and sometimes I have to go to her room, turn off the lights and nurse in silence.

Just some nursing thoughts today while I'm nursing her.

It is so sweet, and can be such a special time I agree. I think I would enjoy it more if I felt like I had enough milk all the time, but I never feel like I do so it can be stressful, but it is a very neat time to sit down, and bond for sure. But oh how nice when we can ditch the nursing garments haah!! Both my kids got to a point when they wanted the quiet and dark so they could focus on nursing. That is hard sometimes.
