I have to give a shout-out to La Leche League, the founding mothers, and all the amazing mothers who came before me and taught me the womanly art of breastfeeding and supported an instinctual way of mothering {also known as "attachment parenting"}. I may not be able to breastfeed Tomorrow ~ although she is a poster child for what babies and mommas need ~ but I can give her all the LLLove and closeness that I learned through two symbiotic breastfeeding relationships {which have blossomed into two of the most satisfying alliances of my life!!}
If you want to know more about La Leche League International and why babies were born to breastfeed, you can visit the LLLovely website at: http://www.lalecheleague.org/ or http://www.llli.org/.
I've been wearing my pearl bracelet {that my Co-Leader got me from the LLL conference} since we picked Tomorrow up from the hospital, and I hope to pass it on to her someday.
Please, Mother of God, let me pass it on to her someday...
