Nursing is a wonder. I love to watch Josephine, crying out for food while she's lieing right next to my nipple. The second when she realizes(often after an adorable sniff or two) she turns and latches so quick. And then, silence. Followed by her rhythmic breathing and swallowing-sometimes gulping. She is still except for her chin bobbing up and down. Occasionally her hand will brush across my breast or her foot will stroke my arm. Eventually there will be gurgling coming from her stomach. And it all ends with a loud blast in her diaper. She's young enough for that to be cute. The only unfortunate part for me is that she's in the habit of clamping down with her gums as she pulls her head back to come off as if she were sucking every last drop out of a packet of frosting for a toaster strudel. [Josie, if Mommys milk tastes anything like frosting you go right ahead. I'll forgive you.]. It helps knowing those last drops, the hind milk, have the most calories and nourishment.
No it doesn't.
It hurts like hell.
But I wouldn't trade it for a second.
