What Breastfeeding Taught Me: An Odyssey of Challenges and Discoveries
It was during my second breastfeeding (which is still ongoing) that I learned to relax and appreciate the present moment.
Breastfeeding has become a precious time where I can fully connect with my daughter, leaving aside everyday worries and concerns, and simply be there, in the moment. I like even more the fact of being withdrawn (long live the breastfeeding rooms, these places are so peaceful) I can temporarily move away from the tumult outside and refocus on the essential: this precious bond between her and me .
This experience taught me to appreciate these moments of calm and connection, to transform them into a meditation; a mindfulness practice.
