I can’t help but dream of the day when, of all the things to fight for, breastfeeding will no longer make the list. Because it will just be. Society will finally walk the talk and supporting breastfeeding will be as common place as supporting eating, sleeping, and other normal healthy lifestyle choices. Accommodations for breastfeeding moms won’t be given a second thought, it will be accepted and encouraged without discrimination.
Prioritizing the mother or the baby in the breastfeeding support equation? Who is more important? If, by prioritizing the supporting the mother will the most vulnerable person in the mix, the infant, suffer? If, by prioritizing the baby could it end up backfiring if the mom doesn’t feel supported? What about other family members, do they factor in? Or are these the wrong questions? Could it be that instead of generalizations we need to embrace the breastfeeding family as a whole and how does that change the was we extend support?

I peeked around the corner into where I heard the sounds of baby babble. She had been on the look out for me, immediately rolling over onto her tummy and smiling tentatively. Stepping into the room I greeted her softly and she laid her head down and smiled, a shy lopsided smile. She was happy to see me and I her. We had been apart for several hours. Now, after a long nap, we were finally reconnecting.
