My son is 7mths old. The siblings are 16,15 and 12yrs old. Could you imagine after 12 long years not having a baby around and you are back in business.. I am a working mom and being able to breastfeed him fulltime is such a wonderful feeling and experiences that a mom could ever have. Nightime feedings are a very special moments for us in its very special way. Love seeing a calm, contented and secured feeling face on my breast. Love the little fingers squeezing my finger while nursing.. Love the “sometimes” smile he gave while the nipple is still inside his mouth and eyes deep closed.. And the thought that he is getting “the best” is most wonderful, satisfying feeling..

This is my second child but the first I’ve nursed.She is just barely 3 weeks old so I’m still in that zombie stage trying to adjust to waking up. She is taking very well and usually only wakes up once or twice, feeds a while then goes back to sleep. For the first time she decided the only way she’d sleep is if I hold her. I’m scarred of falling asleep in my bed with her because my two year old usually ends up there and she is a wild sleeper. So i decided to sit on the couch, trying my hardest to stay awake until she fell back asleep. So i wake up a few hours later sitting straight up with the baby perfectly positioned in my arms. I almost laughed at myself just imagining what it would look like if someone had seen me. My neck had a kink for the whole day. I’ll be ready for this tired stage to be over.Still i treasure the memories.

Well DD can’t nurse because she aspirates but let me tell you it is quite an interesting thing to pump in the middle of the night. Occassionally I have fallen asleep only to wake up 45 minutes later in a puddle of milk and still pumping

I remember that my dr had me wake up my child in the middle of the night to feed her. I did it too!

I’m pregnant. A couple of months ago I had a dream that I was pregnant with a litter of kittens as well as dd. The kittens were due to come before the baby and I was very worried that would make the baby come early. I was trying to convince the dr. to do something about the kittens so that my baby would stay safe. Between the kittens and the baby, the baby won, but no one would listen to me. Ah…pregnancy. Now I just can’t sleep.

I was nursing my four-week-old son early one morning last week, a 5 a.m. feeding, and was simultaneously proofreading a manuscript of the novel I’m writing. This is my fifth child, and I grab private moments for writing whenever I can, because they are like gold. As I was feeding the baby, my oldest son pried open the door and peeked inside. He’s eight years old and an early riser, but usually reads in bed.
I am not proud to admit that my first feeling was dismay that I was going to be robbed of my editing time, but I smiled and said, Good morning. He looked sheepish and stood in the doorway. “Can I come in and read with you?” he asked. I said, Of course, but I assumed that we’d be chatting, not reading. But he came in with his book and sat beside the glider and started reading silently next to me.
Feeling guilty that we should be taking advantage of this private time — I don’t often get one-on-one time with each of my kids — I started talking to him about a Lego contest he’s entering. He smiled and said, “Thanks for asking, but can I just read my book? You can too, mom.”
We sat like that for 20 minutes, each reading our respective things while the baby fell asleep at my breast and the sun began to shine around the edges of the shades. And it was a wonderful way to start the day.

My favorite is when she is really sleepy and she opens her eyes just a little bit looks up smiles at me and then goes back to eating with her eyes closed…it melts my heart.

My first would nurse and go right back to sleep, which was lovely. I’m hoping #2, who is due in a couple months, is the same way!
