"I am the mother of two boys, a toddler and a baby. I loved nursing my older son, and I am equally loving nursing my younger son.
"To me, breastfeeding is synonymous with quiet time. It's a time for me to escape and bond with my baby. It's also a time for me to escape and bond with myself. It's a time to think, ponder, and meditate; a time to cuddle; a time to read and relax. It's a time to ignore the craziness of life (even with a jumping, climbing toddler). It's a time to retreat from loud, crowded family gatherings; It's a time to sing sweet songs to my sweet baby; to look into his eyes and marvel at how fast he's growing and changing; to play with his little curly wisp of hair; to feel his hand curling around my finger.
"I wouldn't trade this time for anything. It is precious and provides sweet moments of joy. I will treasure these quiet memories all my life, for they are when I truly feel like a mother." ~Amy, mama to 2 month old Maxwell
