The love of a mother

     I read this story today in the latest edition of People magazine while standing in the checkout line at Fred Meyer.  I was almost in tears and it made me want to just rush home to nurse my baby.  If I could, I would be next in line to offer my help to this dad and baby.  I know how passionate I am about breastfeeding and I am just so touched that this dad understood how important it was to his wife to nurse their newborn.
     Gavin is now 21 months old, and while he has greatly decreased his nursing frequency, he is definitely still very interested in "mama milk".  When it's all gone he will say, "other side".  I'm not ready for this chapter of his life/our relationship to end.  Chuck is always asking "when?".  I tell him that Gavin will definitely be weaned before he goes to Kindergarten. ;)
