Favorite breastfeeding memory.
Sure, there are tons of struggles that come with nursing... but there are lots of sweet times, too!
I love it when the stop for a second to look up at you or to give you a kiss. And go right back to drinking. Lol I’ve breastfed 4 soon to be 5 and I love those moments it (almost) makes up for all the clawing and the times in public where they try to undress me for some milk lol. Or the moments they are sick and nothing makes them feel better but as soon as they latch they can finally fall asleep
My daughter grabs the sides of my boobs like a bottle and I love it lol. Too bad her “bottle” is bigger than her head. ?
ETA: when she sees the boob and she’s really hungry she lunges her head forward like a shark and tries to latch on. She’s only 2 months so it’s hilarious. If she had teeth it would be a different story ?
Awe my son was a breast and face rubber and pincher. One day I was having such a rough time and he just looked at me and rubbed my cheek and then the top of my breast. It was so sweet. He still likes to touch my face or arm as a form of comfort. He will rub his fingers along my eyebrow to fall asleep hes almost 2 and a half and no longer breast feeds.
I love everything about breastfeeding (except pumping!). DS always has to hold my hand while he’s nursing. When he’s super sleepy, he lets go of my hand and rubs my cheek oh so softly. Also when he gives me a big smile while he’s still latched on. And just looking at him melts my heart. I love him so much
When I had my first son and was still new to breastfeeding in public, we were at JCP so I stopped at the dressing room area where they chairs in the open for others to sit to nurse him. I was super nervous because he hated a cover but I was feeding him anyways. This mom came over and asked if she could sit by me to nurse her baby. She came from the UK where it’s normal to nurse publicly and she said she has had such horrible responses when she moved here. It was awesome to sit and chat while nursing our little ones. From that day I found my self not caring what other people thought.
Same as pp. when ds is asleep but still latched and he gets the biggest smile on his face. I love how he has to hold on to my shirt or my bra to be sure that it's actually me that is feeding him and not the bottle. If I move at all, he wakes up again until he's back latched and can grab me again. When I have to leave and he has to be watched it sucks. Dd was never bf but I loved when she would just look at me with her big blue eyes while she ate. And after she was done, she had to lay on my chest to fall asleep❤️
I was used to nursing my daughter in my sleep. So one night I was getting full so I automatically pull her head to my boobs to help relieve them. But she is resisting so I start waking up more and I come to find out tgat it was my son a couple years older then her. And she was in her crib next to my bed. My son snuck into my bed that night. I told him if he did it again he may be drinking his sisters milk.
