Breastfeeding Bliss

When Isaiah was an infant, he nursed every hour and half to two hours. What I didn't understand was that that time frame is from beginning to beginning, which means I only had about an hour between 'sessions'. It was very consuming. I felt like I was tied to my glider in the living room, always waiting for the next time he was hungry! He continued like this for a few months. Breastfeeding felt like more of a burden to me in the beginning than a blessing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad and proud that I was able to nurse Isaiah for a year, but was more than ready to be done at a year! This time, with Claire, nursing is MUCH different. She generally eats every two to three hours and sometimes I have to wake her up to feed her! At night she'll even go five hours sometimes. This time it is much less of a burden and more of a bliss!!
