I have been meaning to write about this for a while.. but alas I am lazy and I am a procrastinator.
It's true 10 months later I am still breastfeeding and though I am mentally "over it" at times, I know I will keep doing it like a bad habit.
See forget the benefits of breast milk, forget the fact that it's natural..With exception of the first couple of weeks roller coaster, It has got to be the most uncomplicated thing in my life, baby+boob= bliss for her and sometimes for me.
*Sure when they can drink their own bottle it's nice to have your arms free, but you gotta hold them lovingly once in a while right? Bam! I got that darn cuddling out of the way WHILE feeding her AND while spending time on facebook now that is some multitasking!I absolutely LOVE using it as an excuse to get hubby to fetch stuff for me, bunny (that's what I call my hubby) can you get me glass of water? Bunny can you give me the remote? Bunny can you get me a blanket? Bunny can you get me some crackers? After all I can't move, the baby is sleeping on me :D Bunny can you put the dishes away? I meant to do it right now but darn baby decided to nurse! Who can say no to a breastfeeding mother?
*When she's hungry and I don't feel like making her something BAM! here have some boob! (I remember Jessica from the leaky boob blogging about how sometimes she wished feeding her whole family were that easy..I agree)
* When it's time to go to bed there's no drama, no fuss, she nurses herself to sleep next to me, she gets hungry in the middle of the night? I don't have to get up and make her a bottle inf act I don't have to wake up she just finds a boob and helps herself!
*I can use her as an excuse to get out of talking to people when the convo gets boring at family events,, sorry gotta go nurse be back in a bit (even though I've been known to whip 'em out before heheh.
*I don't have to lug around a huge diaper bag, just put a couple of diaper inserts in my purse with some wipes and spray bottle and I'm good to go.
I can go on and on...Really it's not a lie.. breastfeeding is easy may not start that way for some but it gets easier...I am NOT ready to give that up no way baby! I don't care that you're turning a year! suck it up! (pun intended) because Mommy is too lazy not to feed you the good stuff oh and she'd be too jealous of the cows feeding you.
Are you a lazy breast feeder too?

once again love it! I am entirely too lazy to do formula. I learned that the hard way after having to feed it to Karma for a few months. I was spoiled with the breastfeeding and never again will understand why people say formula is easier.
ReplyDeleteAnd LOL for the asking for htings wile nursing, I do that ALLLL the time :oP
It's like the breastfeeding mother's secret weapon haha
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog and happy I did! I really enjoyed this post and can relate on many levels! Reading this made my day.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite lazy-breastfeeder thing was first thing in the morning -- I did NOT want to drag myself downstairs to make breakfast, and I wanted to sleep a bit more -- so, latch the baby on, we both drift off again for another 20 minutes or so, and I get to sleep in a bit more and lounge around in bed for awhile before having to deal with the light of day! :-) It's why I nursed both of mine past 18 months . . . I'm not a morning person :-)
