Dear Isaac,
I love nursing you.  I love being the one you need.  There's nothing better then watching your little milk drunk body stretch out those legs and arms in total satisfaction with a silly sleepy smile on that sweet face as you doze off with your tiny body snuggled right up to mine.

I love you my boy,

Love Momma

  1. I love this Jill !!! Nursing is so important to me and I love that bond. I was having such a hard time with everything with Boston being sick and everyone kept telling me to give up nursing and it just devestated me. No one could understand why I would give up everything with milk in it or pump forever when he kept getting sick instead of just going to a bottle of formula. It was hard and now we find out there is no milk allergy but it was worth it to me to keep trying whatever I could to keep nourishing my sweet baby ! So thank you for sharing your sweet letter to your son, it made my day:) love you girl!! Jen

    1. oh Jenny, Lis told me about everything you were going through with Boss and I felt so bad for you guys! I'm so glad little Boston is doing better now. When I had my Boston we had a CRAZY time with nursing and he was born really dehydrated and couldn't wait for my milk to get in, so I breast fed him for 20 minutes (mostly while he screamed) then gave him a bottle, then pumped.I also had low milk supply so I had to take like 9 herbs a day to keep my milk supply up. It was crazy, especially with all the postpartum stuff I was going through, but I felt the same as you, it was sooo worth it to have that experience. It's so amazing and I wouldn't give it up for anything!
