For moms, making the decision to breastfeed their children is a no-brainer for some and a really difficult decision for others. It can be daunting, exhausting and challenging. But choosing to feed your baby the "natural" way is also a time for bonding and love between baby and mama.
I am currently breastfeeding and I love our time together. Looking into her eyes and smiling at one another, while she's nursing, just intensifies our bond. It is also a fleeting moment in time, as goes most things with raising children, so capturing that moment in time is just as worthy as any other moment in your child's life. You may not want to whip out this portrait at her high school graduation (or maybe you will, ha!), but it is definitely something to keep close and cherish. As "normalizing" breastfeeding seems to be a hot button issue lately, I ask you not to get caught up in that right now. Just view this as a precious and cherished moment between mama and baby.
