DAILY SNACK

Lunch with a five month old:

She eagerly latches on, fingernails digging into skin, feet kicking. She takes two gulps, pulls off, and whips her head around. Back at the breast for 15 seconds this time and what’s that sound? Another pull from the ol’ nipple and who’s that over there? This time I’m holding her head steady while she grunts and strains and still escapes her feed. Finally, door closed, blinds drawn, and big brother placated by the t.v. she settles down to business.
