Breast Talk

It’s been over a month now since I gave birth. I hardly have time to be in front of my computer and update this blog as much as I want to. There have been so many things that occupied my time, but most of it was to feed my son. Didn’t realize that a person would “desire” my breasts that frequent and with fervent wanting. Grabe!

For the first few days, there seemed to have a war between me and my son every time I breast-feed him. He would struggle, fist-clenched, because he couldn’t seem to get what he wants. And I didn’t know what to do. I was holding him wrong I think and my milk seemed not enough to quench his thirst. I almost gave up. I fed him with formula milk for those first days I lost in the “war”. I almost gave up. Until Tita Rizza, a family friend,  visited me. She forced me to breast-feed my son despite his cries. And for the first time, it felt painful! But I was rejoicing at the same time, really happy to have finally made it. My son quickly calmed down, put down his hands and stop moving his feet once he tasted my milk. War is over.

I slowly stopped giving him formula milk. It wasn’t easy because I have to be on my toes every time he wakes up, he needs my milk. And lately, I notice, even if he’s not hungry, he would want my milk then sleep while sucking. Aside from sore nipples, I also lack sleep. It’s all worth it. Life is more beautiful now J
