At times like this...

When Yixuan fell and cut her lips;
no amount of coaxing can stop her streams of tears.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

When Yixuan threw up again, again and again;
dehydrated and tired.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

When Yixuan was running a fever;
her small body burning and all appetite gone.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

When Yixuan's tooth was about to cut through the gum;
uncomfortable and cranky.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

When Yixuan was woken by a bad dream;
scared and dreamy.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

When Yixuan was over-stimulated in the day;
tired and fussy before bedtime.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

When Yixuan wants to have her "Mommy & me" time;
just her and me.
At times like this, I am glad I can still breastfeed her.

To all the great mummies out there. You are the best!
