Must remember...
...the way she looks up at me so sweetly while she nurses ...her tiny, coy smiles like we have a secret together ...the gentle way her small hand pats my back ...the eager look and puckered lips when we sit down for her to eat ...the contented sighs when she is almost asleep, in rhythm with her swallows ...her wiggling toes ...calming her sobs and wiping away tears ...that dopey, milk-drunk floppy cuddle when she is full and happy...
These are things to remember when it feels too hard or too restrictive. I am sure that as much as I can't wait to wean, I will really truly miss these close times with my baby.

I love these things too, especially the little pats on my back. I like the way she looks all happy at the flowers on our nursing chair, right after having a big burp, mouth shaped like an "o". So good to remember these when we're tempted to resent being tied to feeds.
