Nursing

Given that nourishing Miss Emma Grace is my current part-time job, we have lots of conversations around here about nursing.  Leah wants to know everything- "Where does the milk come from?  How do you make it? What does it look like?"  Adam just makes simple observations- "Emma biting woo?  Emma taking woo milk, Mom?"

I had to explain to Leah how a nipple shield works last week.  After processing the concept that the milk goes through the holes to get into the baby's mouth, she concluded, "You're kind of like a cow, Mom."


Well yes, I suppose I am.  But I'd really rather not think of it that way.
