Breastfeeding my son has brought me to my highest highs and my lowest
lows. It's been exciting, comforting, troubling, and inspiring - a
jumble of emotions that I haven't always been able to name. It's been
been a roller coaster emotionally; physically it's been a free fall, and
spiritually it's been like soaring with angels.
Breastfeeding is 50% willpower, 49% love and 1% everything else. Don't
let that 1% fool you, because the everything else is what takes up HOURS
of time each day. That little 1% is where the tears originate - both
those of sorrow and of joy. This is the story of how that 1% has
changed my life, and how the love has kept my willpower intact.
If it weren't for the wonderful circle of breastfeeding mamas I've found
I would have given up what has become the most rewarding experience of
my life. I hope you find my reflections, trials, successes, failures,
and research insightful, and that they help you discover your own deep
well of potential. I hope that your skill, willpower, and loving bonds
flourish!
