Love this. Familiar, sweet, funny, true.

I remember seeing a yawning mama dog lying on her side with about six puppies crawling all over her, nursing. The look on her face…haunts me. LOL. She and I were sisters at that moment.

It is remarkably disheartening to realise that a monkey has more patience than I do. But not surprising.

It’s a good think that monkey babe couldn’t find his mama’s other nip with his other hand. Because HELLO TWEAKING. Ouch.

This is hilarious!! I’m not really looking forward to that part of nursing this time around…so far Lucy just lays there. It’s quite a different thing with a toddler

Wow, that is SO familiar! I cringed when I saw the first photo of baby stretching mama’s nipple, I think I felt it. I admire the mama’s patience so much.

Cute. So much love, and you captured it so well, for us, for them. Yes, the stretch. Been there, done that, way too many times. Those are supposed to stay attached! The hands, the feet…. stunt nursing!
