I was looking at Oscar feeding last night and I can't believe that he can find his boob and feed off it and hold it in his hand, all by himself. It seemed like so long away, not long ago, before he'd be able to do that. I recalled the time that I used to have to guide his head, then his mouth, whilst holding my nipple for him to latch onto. Do other BFing mummies freak themselves out thinking about this? I have tried so hard to be with Oscar in the moment, and sometimes I think that maybe I didn't make the most of all the time that has lapsed. But maybe I did, because I don't recall wishing for a fast forward to get to a certain stage, I have been quite happy for him to take his time. I am so into this boy, so it's not cluckiness, just being totally smitten by this kid! This fleshy little ball of fun and love makes me smile so big
