Must tell you a lovely thing which has just happened!
It is Sunday morning in the U.K and I am browsing through Lactnet. The
radio is on in the kitchen and I can hear it faintly. A programme is on
called 'In the psychiatrists chair'. A famous person is interviewed by a
psychiatrist. Today it is a high-flying woman, very very big in
business, one of her children has leukaemia.
I just heard the word 'breastfeeding' and shot into the kitchen. She is
describing the wonderful feelings she has while breastfeeding, how great
it is that her children cry when she leaves the room because they love
her and how wonderful it is that they stop crying when she immediately
returns. She described how great a mother's love is! Of course the
interviewer tried to read all sorts of things into that, but she
demolished him.
This has just made my day!
