My third daughter Charlotte is 19 months and I love our feeding relationship (most of the time) I know that it will soon be coming to an end which makes me very sad. I cherish our booby cuddles, love it when she falls asleep feeding as I get what we call a free cuddle! I volunteer at a local bf support group and will post your words on our Facebook page, it's so nice to know that we are not alone in our fears hopes and random thoughts! When feeding my babies in the night I often thought about the millions of other mum's around the world doing the same thing. Your words have brought some of us together, thank you xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204481932885711511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408457313131912061.post-5277246578542054852012-08-30T01:45:45.764-07:002012-08-30T01:45:45.764-07:00Thanks Rebecca, I like the idea of moments we will...Thanks Rebecca, I like the idea of moments we will never regret, as I imagine regret might be a difficult part of old age, so nice to think of the things we will look back on and feel nothing but positivity about! xThe Mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786143388807016249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408457313131912061.post-12001334593561531392012-08-30T01:44:45.651-07:002012-08-30T01:44:45.651-07:00That's lovely Justine, thank you xThat's lovely Justine, thank you xThe Mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786143388807016249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408457313131912061.post-37943870422769592122012-08-30T01:44:23.498-07:002012-08-30T01:44:23.498-07:00Yes, yes, I do read them all and am always thrille...Yes, yes, I do read them all and am always thrilled with the response to this post!

From the joys to the moments of frustration and the calm found in between! I am enjoying the journey of breastfeeding so much and am aware that every feed is precious for us both as one day she will decide that's enough thanks mummy! <br />On another note I am blessed with a wonderful partner who shares a similar bond and time with our 4 year old son. They lye together to read books and talk as he falls asleep every night. He sleeps in his room often if asked to and I often find them all cosy asleep together. He rushes back from business trips so as not to miss out on story time with our little man and only ever goes out once he is in bed! They have such a wonderful bond because of this quiet, precious time together. <br />For all the times the constant needing of me frustrates me I am reminded how quickly it passes and hold on just that bit tighter! <br />Thank you for another lovely breastfeeding post!Fayenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408457313131912061.post-23084461342310344652012-07-04T17:09:18.527-07:002012-07-04T17:09:18.527-07:00It's been almost 12 years since I last nursed,...It's been almost 12 years since I last nursed, but what I remember now is how wonderful it was. That feeling of the let-down that, in its way, is better than sex. The tiny little hand resting on my breast. The feel of the silky hair as I caress with my other hand. The adoring milky smile when he remembered I was actually part of the process. And the "nothing else is more beautiful" lingering after he had fallen asleep against me. Those are among the moments of my life that I will NEVER regret.Rebecca Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408457313131912061.post-86538926388598167792012-07-04T13:59:58.036-07:002012-07-04T13:59:58.036-07:00It's been a while since my son nursed but I re...It's been a while since my son nursed but I remember so many of these feelings!

This is just beautiful...and so true! I am a single mom to four children under 9, and am nursing my 21 month old. By the end of the day I am so exhausted that there are days I wish I could just lay her down in her crib and leave her to sleep on her own...but then she falls asleep on me and I seem to forget how tired/frustrated/bitter I am and just sit in the moment.

Beautiful and love this post.<br /><br />I love our last feed of the day, quietly together in my sons room, rocking on our nursing chair, together and quiet. Its my favourite half hour of the day, nursing him and rocking him to sleep. I love that he goes to sleep wrapped in my arms, feeling warm and secure and loved. <br /><br />I had a rocky relationship with breastfeeding in those early day. I initially hated it, persevered and then realised one day around 4 months I loved it now. X is now 8 months old and its really precious to me. I'm not sure how long we will feed for, I'm aiming for 12 months at the moment and know I will really miss it once its gone.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17750065972599712349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408457313131912061.post-26840011072532431372012-06-10T12:42:32.347-07:002012-06-10T12:42:32.347-07:00That is so lovely Vimella!

I am a new mother with my 4-week old son and I struggled with nursing and even dreaded when he gets hungry because it hurt like hell (sorry for the word) that i almost gave up. I believe that practice makes perfect so I kept nursing even i was in so much pain and also praying that my son would finally latch properly and that I get used to the feeling of breastfeeding. Your post touched me in every way and made me look at breastfeeding in a new refreshing view.
