I breastfeed my daughter who is 7 months old. Lately, she’s been “talking” to me a lot as she nurses. Just little hums up to me. I always talk back to her —in this moment I was on my phone, and put it down to talk to her. It ended up us looking deeply into each others eyes as she studied my fingers with her tiny hands. It was an amazing bonding experience to me. We really communicated with each other tonight and it warmed my heart so much!

I sang her eyes to sleep with the usual “You Are My Sunshine,” but this time I sang it to her with so much love in my heart; it brought a tear to my eye, thinking about how far our bond has come. My boyfriend and I have so much love for her and her love is even bigger for us.

We are so lucky.
