Love this

I am loving the 'I support you' - acknowledging all mothers feed their children with love.

“We are standing together, and we’re asking you to stand up with us. You, at the La Leche League meeting. You, in thelactation consultant’s office, perfecting your newborn’s latch. You, in the Nordstrom’s dressing room, nursing quietlyon the couch. You, at your older son’s baseball game, nursing openly in the bleachers. You, who have cried rivers oftears over your feeding choices, and you, who chose without fear.

I support you.

 You, in your hospital gown, asking the nurses for formula. You, shaking a bottle with one arm while your baby snugglesclose in the other. You, who have researched the healthiest, most tummy-friendly formulas. You, who pump and mixand combo-feed. You, who have cried rivers of tears over your feeding choices, and you, who chose without fear.

I support you.

You, with your partner, as you feed the baby that you are hoping to adopt. You, who had a mastectomy and are lockingeyes with new life. You, who chose your mental health, or your physical health, or your freedom, or your lack offreedom, so that you could feed your baby in a way that protected both of you. You, the Daddy who is finger-feedingyour infant. You, the Mommy who lovingly pours formula into a G-Tube. You, at the NICU, pumping your breasts by thelight of the machines that are keeping your baby alive. You, with the foster child who you are loving back to health. Wesee you. You are a part of this conversation too.

 We support you.” 

Damn right.
