Breast Is Best

Busy day at work.
Time to go.
It's after five.
Mother rings bell.
Help me please,
latch my baby
onto me?

No problem.
Big smile from me,
to leave that baby ,
content as could be.
What a job I possess.
Especially as I believe
breast is best!

The title pulled me in Jean and I have to agree it is the best for mother and baby although I appreciate it is not something all mothers can or want to do - I fed my son right up until his first birthday - then I gave up!:-) hugs jan xx

I was the only one of my 'group' to continue feeding Jean - I decided on his first birthday it was time to stop - in the end it was just a comfort for both of us last thing at night :-) hugs Jan xx

I fed two of mine until they were two and a half Jan! The first of my three refused to latch. I gave up asking her why she wouldn't breast feed when she turned twenty. Don't say you "gave up" after a year.....well done!!
