With my first, I felt trapped under baby. It felt like breastfeeding dragged on and on. Even my husband felt like one of us was always holding baby. We welcomed every break as visitors asked to hold and rock baby.
When the next came along, it was a welcomed change of pace. We had gotten used to chasing around an energetic toddler. Having a cuddly little baby at the breast forced me to slow down and allowed to focus on living in the moment.
