At my son's soccer game today I saw a mother that I helped last year. Her baby was born in February 1995. She was extremely premature and had Downs Syndrome. The mother had to pump for quite ahile before the baby was able to nurse. The mother was very determined and dedicated. This was her fourth baby. She said the baby now 19 months old is STILL NURSING!!. She just had heart surgery 3 weeks ago to repair the two holes in her heart and is doing great. It was such a thrill to look into the sweet face of that child and recall all the hard times and long phone calls with this mother but also to see the joy she feels due to the breastfeeding relationship. We have to tuck these special moments in our hearts for the days when nothing seems to go right. Thanks for letting me share.
