I thought I’d do a little happy dance today and celebrate 321 days of breastfeeding my littlest.
That’s a hell load of unlimited, all-you-can-drink liquid carbohydrates, proteins, fats, antibodies and lymphocytes that’s on demand and FREE.
That’s 4 full feeds in the day and 6 snack feeds throughout the night, and a lot of running in and out of the nursing room if I’m at work. That’s also having to endure pain from itchy gums and 6 tiny teeth that’s bent on tugging and yanking.
And looking at this boy’s happy face, I don’t intend to stop. It’s been so fun being his milk machine.
Milk for you, yes Sir!
