I find breastfeeding to be so fascinating. I love the bond it creates, the journey, the ritual.
Gazing into your babies eyes
The twirling of mums hair.
The constant wriggling and legs and feet moving.
The pinching and touching of mums skin.
The connection and closeness and comfort.
Such a safe space and I completely understand the difficulty and sadness involved in those final days.
I fed Lucy for just 3 moths before my milk dried up. It was 2009, I was a 24 year old that looked 16. I fed hidden away, I hated being in public with eyes upon me, I always felt judged by passers by. I never felt confident. I think my own experience is what fascinates me most, seeing such a beautiful connection between a mum and their child is just so awe inspiring.
