Breastfeeding..

After both births, we had a three day stay at the hospital, where we already mastered the beautiful bonding experience of breastfeeding.

It came naturally. It was simply a case of, boob = food, and both boys just went for it. Amazing. I feel blessed to have had a very easy nursing time with both my boys.            The one thing I have never done was breastfeed in public. I didn’t want to share this lovely time, when it was just the two of us, with anybody, let alone public.

There was one grandmotherly advice I took to heart: “Stay at home for the first six weeks after birth, since you still have one foot in the grave!” And I did. I also discouraged any visits, I wanted to come out on my terms. The six weeks were heaven on earth and only ours.

No regrets there!
