When she first felt her son's groping mouth attach itself to her
breast, a wave of sweet vibration thrilled deep inside and radiated to
all parts of her body; it was similar to love, but it went beyond a
lover's caress, it brough a great calm happiness, a great happy calm.

Ah the joy of suckling! She lovingly watched the fishlike motions of
the toothless mouth and she imagine that with her milk there flowed
into her little son her deepest thoughts, concepts and dreams.

Both these are from Milan Kundera's novel "Life is Everywhere".

Those that have seen the Norwegian video "Breast is Best" might be
struck by the similarity between the 2nd quote and what the mother at
the end of the video says about "I can almost see him drinking in love
and warmth" or something like that.
