Nursing Rememberance

I feel so incredibly blessed that I was able to nurse my sweet little girl for just over a year.  I know it's a special gift, and I will forever treasure all those sweet moments.  I knew I would be sad when she was ready to wean, but I didn't expect myself to cry.  I just finished nursing this little one for (what is planned to be) the last time, and cry I did...  So in gratitude and remembrance, I will share some of the little moments I loved in nursing with you (don't worry - no graphic pics):

Milk Drunk Baby:
How can you not adore a milk drunk baby???


Sweet Sleepy Can Hardly Or Can't At All Stay Awake To Nurse Baby
Oh how I loved watching her be so comfy and contented that she would start drifting off to sleep!


Playful Nursing Milk Drool Baby:
Nursing is where we first played peekaboo, learned to 'boop' noses, learned many new words - especially parts of the face, giggled heartily, etc.



Adorable (And Sometimes Very Active) Footed Baby:
Nursing was such a wonderful opportunity to admire, dote on, tickle, and all out adore baby feet!  And. I. Am. Addicted. To. Baby. Feet.  Sometimes they were quite active and kicked many things off the nightstand, but oh how sweet are little feet!


And finally...







Well-Fed Baby:


For those of you nursing, it can be incredibly challenging, painful, and difficult at times, but enjoy every second of it!  Once it's over, you will likely miss such a sweet and intimate time with your little one.  I hope you enjoyed my little nursing remembrance in pictures.  Do you have a favorite part/memory of nursing?  Please share!

  3. I love when someone posts about the joys of nursing! I nursed my youngest until he weaned himself at 18 mon. I consider myself a lactivist and I think you are amazing for nursing and telling the world about it :)
