You are gonna LOVE breastfeeding! There is nothing more magnificent than the first eye-to-eye contact made while watching your newborn take their first suckle at your breast. Sometimes its a perfect transition, sometimes sloppy, and sometimes it takes a bit of work to make it a team effort. But once your in the groove, you can't be stopped! As this new bond flowers, it gets better and better like a fine wine. Soon you get a RHYTHM: baby arouses gently from sleep, starts to smack their lips or even suck their hand ferociously, smelling your milk they use their routing reflex to find the soft perfectly made nipple. The sucking begins and there is no smacking, slurping, or discomfort.
After the first couple of weeks y'all are making sweet MUSIC together: falling to sleep together after nursing in a side lying position in bed. Baby wakes up hungry and literally grabs your breast taking full control of the let down flow, how they want to receive their meal, and feeling the strongest connection with the woman they love more than anything in this world. Ahhhhh!! It's my favorite moment in breastfeeding and I hope it will be yours too. P.S. I promise it doesn't hurt one bit
