Congrats on persevering with breastfeeding and I’m so glad you’re now at the point of enjoying that close bond!

I’m still BF my 18 month old and still love that time together in the morning.

what a beautiful post and a great idea to write it down now so you won’t forget.

Breastfeeding really is such a special bonding time between mom and baby. Enjoy your time with that adorable little guy!

Oh I miss those days when my kids were babies and so excited to see me enter their rooms in the morning! *Sigh.* Not so much anymore now that I have to get them up for school. Speaking of which, I should be doing that right now… ;)

You are right- you need to savor this time.

Hey Michelle, I felt like I missed out a tiny bit early on with the nursing, but I was grateful to not have that responsibility either. With family time, quantity trumps quality. A week at Disney World won’t make up for a years of neglect, neither will a few hours of playtime on the weekend makeup for not being there at all during the week.

These pictures of Jude are beautiful, as is your story of your mornings with him. I really applaud you for sticking with it with breastfeeding. Those first few months are SO hard that it really is no wonder many women give up, but once you hit that sweet spot it really is a daily (maybe moreso hourly!) reward. Congratulations to you for your dedication – Jude is a lucky boy!

How beautifully written, I was a little disappointed it came to an end. Jude is one luck boy, you are truly an amazing mother. I hope one day your thoughts will become a book. Hugs and love to your beautiful little family …Margaret xxx

I’m so glad you’re writing this down. You will remember how special it was, but the details get submerged into so many other details, so you’ll cherish later what you write now.

Beautiful. When I have kids..I am calling you..everyday. jk. What an amazing mother you are. Oh..and Jude is adorable. I wonder if men feel like they don’t have that special boding time, because they can’t ‘give’ like mother’s do when they’re feeding. What are Nick’s thoughts?
