World Breastfeeding Week

So, today starts World Breastfeeding Week and I was trying to find something sweet to send one of my best friends, Sarah who is a lactation consultant. You know like a breastfeeding ecard or something like that. Which I have learned don't exist but oh well. I breastfed my little Callie for 9 months and wished I would have done it longer. So to those of you who don't like this- just know that Jesus was breastfed because I know for a fact that they did not have Similac or Enfamil back then and when my Callie is smarter than your child that she was Breastfed and BREAST IS BEST!!!! We don't like you anti breastfeeders either so just go away and have a great day:) So in my search, I ran across this and thought that it was too cute not to post.

Dr. Seuss for Nursing Moms
Would you nurse her in the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse with or without a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her `till she’s full!

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy’s milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.

As for those who protest lactation,
I have the perfect explanation.
Mommy’s milk is tailor made
It’s the perfect food, you need no aid.

Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast’s the perfect food!

I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk’s the perfect food!

We make the amount we need
The perfect temp for every feed.
There’s no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest

Those sweet nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy’s milk is such a treat
Human milk just can’t be beat.

I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.
It’s not about what’s good for you,
It’s best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads and ma’am.
I will nurse her, Mom I am.

I just thought that it was too cute. Anyways now that I have completely offended the people that protest breastfeeding it is ok. I know that I have made my dear friend Princess Sarah the SUPER LACTATION CONSULTANT proud:) Have a great day!!!
