To save
Really I am just posting it to save it, was posted in one of my parenting type communities and it is cute and now I want to read the book, but this laptop is in desperate need of a reformat so trying not to bookmark anything i might actually want to keep. The below passage is *so* Cael.
This is the text at the beginning of Chapter Six in the current edition of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, which I think is wonderful and illustrates how the book is not just informative but has a sense of humour.
SOPHIA: WAAAAAAH! STARVING BABY! HELP! HELP! DOESN'T ANY ONE CARE? CALL UNICEF! HELP! HELP!
ME (Scooping up one angry lump of baby): Hey there, sweetie. Hungry?
SOPHIA: OH, MOM, it was SO AWFUL! I woke up in that PLACE? You know the one? Where no one is holding the baby? And there isn't any milk? IT WAS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED IN MY WHOLE LIFE!
ME (offers breast): Here you go.
SOPHIA: SO HUNGRY! (butts breast with her face)
ME: You have to open your mouth.
SOPHIA: WILL NO ONE THING OF THE BABY?
ME (tickles her lip): It's okay, sweetie.
SOHPIA: SO HUNGR - oh. Snarf. Nom nom nom nom nom nom. SO GOOD. Nom nom nom nom. I almost DIED, you know. Nom nom nom nom.
ME: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
SOPHIA (Head lolling back, mouth slack and dribbling milk): Duuuude.
