As part of World Breastfeeding week, I am guest posting over at The Pistachio Project. Come find out how I am trying to make breastfeeding a more intentional part of my day.
When my first son was born, I thought I was fully prepared to breastfeed. I had dreams of sitting in the rocking chair in his room. Him snuggled close to me as I stared deeply into his eyes. The two of us sharing little moments of magic while he was eating. His room was set up as a little oasis for breastfeeding. I had a little night light, a denim Boppy and tubes of Lansinoh stuffed in the chair pockets. I believed I was fully prepared for this very important task in our new relationship.

Thank you Brittany for the opportunity to share your space today!
I found it hard to stay awake many times, but most of the time I was staring into his cute little eyes when he BF. I caught up on reading a few times. It’s a good thing little little ones don’t know what you’re saying, cuz he’d’ve been bored to tears by the science stuff, scared stiff by the adventure novels, and embarrassed by the time I read the mushy scene out loud!
LOL! I am currently having a candy crush addiction. Trying to alternate an intentional feeding with a mind numbing one.
Great stories to read! It is always so helpful to hear others experiences! Thanks for the link and sharing your story!
